Nanning Zoo
南宁动物园
Guangxi's largest urban zoo, with dense greenery and hundreds of animal species. It is one of the top choices for family trips in Nanning.
Nanning Zoo is on East Daxue Road in Xixiangtang District. Built into wooded hills, it has high tree cover and houses several hundred species and thousands of animals. These include elephants, giraffes, tigers and lions, along with rare primates native to Guangxi, such as white-headed langurs and black-leaf monkeys. There are also a science museum and a children's play area. The zoo is large and hilly, so a full visit takes about 3 hours. Note the slopes if you are pushing a stroller. In the summer afternoon heat, many animals rest in the shade, so it is best to arrive early in the morning. Admission follows the zoo's official announcements. Getting there: walk from the Zoo metro station. The zoo is about 8 km from Zhongshan Road.
