ーPark Introductionー

Hsinchu Zoo was founded in 1936 and is 86 years old this year. It is the oldest zoo in Taiwan. In 2017, the "Zoo Regeneration Project" was launched with three core values: first, animal-friendly, creating an exhibition area suitable for animals without cages, and the activity space of each animal is 1.5 times larger than before; second, preserving historical memory, the park specially preserved old trees, historical buildings such as the Elephant Gate, so that everyone feels familiar and full of surprises when entering the zoo; third, promoting life education, making the zoo a good place for experiencing life education, is an important mission of Hsinchu Zoo. On December 28, 2019, the zoo was reopened, allowing this zoo, which was once gradually forgotten, to re-polish its brand and become a popular attraction. The park's current "five major attractions" include the historical building "Elephant Gate", "Hippo Lele", "Bengal Tiger New Home Experience", "Big Bird Cage", and "Forest Cafeteria".

• The "Elephant Gate" was built by a Japanese designer imitating the gate of the Hagenbeck Zoo in Germany. During the renovation of the zoo, the team peeled off the paint layer by layer to find the most authentic color of the elephant gate. In the end, 13 layers were peeled off to reveal the original blue-green color of the elephant head. Many people still have their childhood photos with the elephant gate. After the reopening, you are welcome to take a "time and space restoration photo"!

• After entering through the elephant gate, the second must-see place is the home of the popular star Hippo Lele on the right. After the new home was "redecorated", Hippo Lele's living space has doubled. The park has set up ultra-low glass viewing windows for small children, forming a "cutest skyline" of about 120-130 cm. Not only can children see Lele eating feed, Lele shaking his head as he walks ashore, and Lele's cute appearance when sunbathing in the sand pit, but they can also see it all from their perspective, so parents no longer have to worry about lifting their children high or holding them until their hands are sore.
• In the "Rainforest Passage", we have the opportunity to see Bengal tiger twins "Liufu" and "Laifu" up close, as well as the tiger brothers' neighbors, the orangutan Xiongda, and the sun bears Dudu and Winnie, which always surprises and delights the children. In fact, from the perspective of the animals, we are the humans trapped in the secret passage, and we don't know who will be seen by whom!
• The "old big bird cage" has been preserved by the park, and a climbing rope net has been set up inside and a sand pit has been laid outside, turning it into a children's exploration playground. Many children are reluctant to leave after playing there, and parents can also take the opportunity to rest or take photos and check in with their children.
• The "Forest Canteen" is a beautiful family restaurant that looks like an art gallery. Its simple and neat white design is matched with a large glass curtain, allowing diners to look out at the Eland antelopes in the tall grass and sparse woods through the floor-to-ceiling windows. They can "enjoy their meals while watching the antelopes" and continue exploring the zoo after recharging their batteries.
• If you are still not satisfied, there is the Hsinchu City Library Zoo Branch on the first floor of the basement and the Insect Museum with "free admission and unlimited entry" on Centennial Avenue around the zoo. It is also a must-visit place for parents and children. The Hsinchu City Cultural Bureau has created a warm reading space and collected many books on animal and plant ecology, allowing children to absorb knowledge to their heart's content. The "Insect Museum" converted from the old Chinese Radio Station displays animals such as Hercules beetles, Sulcata tortoises, snake-eating turtles, capybaras, chameleons and spectacled caimans. People who love animals should not miss it.
