Located in the heart of Beijing, the zoo has two attractions worth visiting: the giant panda exhibit, and the aquarium, which is the largest in China. Both zoo and aquarium combined provide room for more than 900 species of land and marine animals, several of which are counted among endangered species of animals. Besides its display of animals, the Beijing Zoo also presents itself in the typical way of Chinese classical gardens. You will find small rivers and pools, wooded areas, flower beds, natural sceneries, and historical buildings.
