Chengdu Zoo. A fairly standard Chinese provincial zoo. A large well laid out park with lots of amusements for the throngs of people. The animals are housed in small featureless concrete and iron blocks and are subjected to constant harassment by the public; shouting, spitting, throwing food and all sorts of unsuitable objects. There is no attempt at providing privacy or environmental enrichment.
This zoo has over 10 giant pandas, the largest number of this endangered species in city zoo in captivity in the world, also rare golden-hair monkeys, and other 200 varieties.

Chengdu zoo is in the northern suburbs of the city, surrounded by gardens. It covers 18 hectares, with 250 odd varieties of animals living in the beautiful and comfortable halls, houses, ponds and fenced-up mounds, which are scattered amidst green trees and colorful flowers.
One unique feature of the zoo is the panda houses, spacious and ingeniously designed, shaded among bamboo and surrounded by ditches. They are really good homes for the giant and lesser pandas and , of course, the pandas are the tourist highlight.
The Chengdu Zoo is the world’s most successful breeder of pandas by artificial insemination. In recent years, tourists from different continents have arrived in a continuous flow to see pandas in their hometown and pandas of the Chengdu zoo have also traveled abroad to charm people of different countries.
