Highlights: There are hundreds of species at Chengdu Zoo, including mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and beautiful fish. You can appreciate tigers, lions, giraffes, red-crowned cranes, and elephants. The most-loved animal at the zoo is the giant panda. The snub-nosed monkey is also a favorite for children. Zhaojue Temple, a Buddhist temple, is located right next to the zoo and you can visit both attractions on the same trip.
