■ About Tourism

Daqingshan Wildlife Park

The Daqingshan Wildlife Park is located in the northern suburbs of Hohhot, adjacent to Daqingshan to the north. The reason for choosing this location is because it has convenient transportation, unique terrain, and landforms. The zoo has unique and rich terrain and landforms such as plains, hills, and mountains inside. These diverse and continuous terrains not only provide convenient conditions for semi wild animal husbandry, but also greatly enrich the scenery, observability, and rich and diverse exhibition methods of the park. After the wild journey ends, tourists can immediately relax, interact with and caress animals. This tangible and intangible gap not only meets the inner needs of tourists seeking excitement and happiness, but also satisfies the enjoyment of seeking different senses. Tourists taking the sightseeing bus can see wolf packs grazing along the way, as well as meat eating beasts such as tigers, male lions, and black bears resting or foraging on both sides of the bus, experiencing the wonders of nature up close.
