Guangzhou Zoo (Guangzhou, China): 27 May 2025
Just a quick note at the start that Ocean World is an Aquarium situated inside Guangzhou Zoo but with a separate entrance fee (160 Yuan versus the zoo's 20 Yuan). It can be entered directly from outside the zoo or from within the zoo grounds, so can be visited alone or as a combined visit. You can also exit directly from Ocean World into the zoo so long as you have a zoo ticket.
I have reviewed Ocean World in its own thread: Ocean World (Guangzhou): review and species list, May 2025.
Guangzhou Zoo map
The Guangzhou Zoo is an easy zoo to visit, with its own metro station called "Zoo" on line 5, right outside the south entrance. The entry fee is only 20 Yuan, contrasting quite markedly with the Chimelong Safari Park - also in Guangzhou - which costs 300 Yuan! Zoo comparisons are obviously entirely subjective, but Guangzhou Zoo was a much better zoo for me than Chimelong Safari Park. Superficially the latter looks more impressive, and it covers a significantly larger area, but it is basically a theme park and the animals come across as just being a part of the theme. Interestingly, the Guangzhou Zoo had almost as many primate species on display as Chimelong Safari Park did, with 14 species versus 17.
I have put a review of Chimelong Safari Park here: Chimelong Safari Park: review and species list May 2025 [Chimelong Safari Park]
The Guangzhou Zoo is a big zoo, and it's pretty good all round. It's definitely one of the best Chinese zoos around. It is divided into broad taxonomic areas - birds, hooved animals, carnivores, primates, reptiles, and then there is also a small South American section (next to the reptiles) and a Children's Zoo area. The grounds are very leafy and pleasant, and most enclosures have a lot of greenery in them.
MAMMALS:
Generally most of the mammal enclosures could have been larger but most were not too small. Often there were two or three enclosures per species.
The hoofstock were mostly in smaller yards and in small numbers. Some were in large yards; the giraffes had a sizeable enclosure, as did the zebras and some others. The enclosure for Reeves' Muntjac was, relatively speaking, very large.
The elephant and rhino yards were pretty small, and the hippo enclosures were tiny.
Enclosures for small mammals varied between excellent (raccoons) to poor (the otters, and the South America area).
Cat and canid enclosures were not huge but mostly not small, and all were either well-planted or at least grassed, and I think all were glass-fronted. Bears weren't great with their almost "grotto"-style enclosures, but not terrible.
The monkeys were mostly in cages which were not large, but not excessively small. Mostly they were glass-fronted but the walls and tops were mesh. Some species were in large open enclosures which looked good.
BIRDS:
Most of the bird section was closed off for renovation work on my visit, which was unfortunate - it is a large area of the zoo and from what I could see the aviaries looked great. A few other areas of the zoo also had construction or renovation work underway but I don't think anything else was actually off-show because of it [edit: the capuchins were off-display for this reason].
The main bird section is the pink area on the left side of the map, labelled as "Birds Paradise". The top part of that area, to the left of the elephants (where there are pictures for Emu, Ostrich, Hornbill, Peacock, and Silver Pheasant), is a walk-through aviary called Bird Wonderland which was still open for visitors.
This aviary is very large, well planted, and high enough that you forget you're in an aviary. Inside are smaller aviaries for pheasants (lots of Swinhoe's Pheasants!) and enclosures for ratites. There are only a few species of birds free within the aviary and most are ground-dwelling or waterbirds - there are no smaller birds in here except local wild ones, probably due to there being some sizeable holes in the mesh of the roof.
Species in the walk-through aviary:
Free-roaming: Grey Heron, Black-crowned Night Heron; Yellow-billed Stork; Grey Crowned Crane; White-breasted Waterhen, Common Moorhen; Greater Flamingo; Mute Swan, Black-necked Swan, Bar-headed Goose, Lesser Whistling Duck (signed, not seen); Blue Peafowl, Silver Pheasant.
Within separate aviaries: Ostrich, Emu, Double-wattled Cassowary; Green Peafowl, Temminck's Tragopan (signed, not seen), Cabot's Tragopan, Reeves' Pheasant, Elliot's Pheasant, Swinhoe's Pheasant, Golden Pheasant; Himalayan Griffon Vulture, Cinereous Vulture, Crested Serpent-Eagle; Collared Crow (perhaps rescue birds - but clearly unable to fly, being in an open-topped enclosure).
Almost all the other birds at the zoo are kept on the three large lakes which stretch up through the top part of the zoo, apart for a couple of species in the South American area (Green-cheeked Conures and Scarlet Ibis), and in the Children's Zoo there are Emus and an aviary (Cockatiels, Budgies, and Peach-faced Lovebirds).
Birds seen on the lakes (all of which will be either wing-clipped or pinioned):
1. "Egret Island Lake": Herring Gull; Great White Pelican, Pink-backed Pelican.
2. "Singing Geese Lake": Grey Crowned Crane, Red-crowned Crane; Whooper Swan, Black Swan, Chinese Goose (domestic), Bar-headed Goose, Common Shelduck, Ruddy Shelduck, Mallard (domestic).
3. "Dancing Crane Lake": Caribbean Flamingo; Red-crowned Crane, White-naped Crane, Common Crane, Demoiselle Crane; Black-necked Swan, Ruddy Shelduck, Mandarin Duck.
REPTILES and FISH:
The reptile house is good and quite large, mostly quite standard in presentation but there are a few extremely attractive planted tanks including one which was a mixed exhibit of frogs and lizards of southern China.
As mentioned earlier, Ocean World is an Aquarium situated inside Guangzhou Zoo but with a separate entrance fee, which I have reviewed in its own thread. Within the zoo collection there is a small fish section which is titled as "Koi Fish Garden" on the map, "Gold Fish Garden" on a sign, and "Fantasy Science Fish Viewing Area" above the entrance to the building there. There is a "Great world guiness records" sign outside the area proclaiming this as holding "the most great fish show in species numbers and variety of tanks" which seems remarkably untrue.
There are a number of free-standing outside aquariums here, mostly for goldfish and mostly in "unusual" designs. The building has a few large tanks along one wall for larger fish (arowana, sturgeon, tigerfish, etc) but is basically just a shop for selling fish for home aquariums (barbs, tetras, etc - I didn't pay too much attention to these tanks because they were just sale tanks).
