ーIntroduction to Hsinchu Zooー

Hsinchu Zoo was founded in 1936 and is 86 years old this year. It is the oldest zoo still existing on its original site in Taiwan. The "Zoo Regeneration Project" was launched in 2017 with three core values: first, being animal-friendly. An exhibition area without cages was created that is suitable for animals, and the activity space for each animal is 1.5 times larger than before. Second, preserving historical memory. The park specially preserved old trees, historical buildings such as the elephant gate, so that everyone feels familiar and full of surprises when entering the zoo. Third, promoting life education, making the zoo a good place to experience life education is an important mission of the Hsinchu Zoo. The zoo was reopened on December 28, 2019, allowing this once gradually forgotten zoo to revitalize its brand and become a popular tourist attraction. The park’s current top five attractions include the historic "Elephant Gate", "Hippo Lele", "Bengal Tiger New Home Experience", "Big Bird Cage", and "Forest Canteen".

ーPark Introductionー

The "Elephant Gate" was built by a Japanese designer imitating the gate of the Hagenbeck Zoo in Germany. During the renovation of the zoo, the team peeled off layer of paint to find the most authentic color of the Elephant Gate. In the end, they peeled off 13 layers before the original blue-green color of the elephant's head was revealed. Many people still have their childhood photos taken with the Elephant Gate in their collection, and are welcome to take a "time-space restoration photo" after the gate reopens!

After entering through the elephant gate, the second place you must visit is the home of popular star "Hippo Lele" on the right. After the new home was "redecorated", Hippo Lele's living space has doubled. The park has specially set up ultra-low glass viewing windows for young children, forming the "cutest skyline" of about 120-130 cm. Children can see not only Lele eating feed, Lele shaking his head as he walks ashore, but also Lele's cute appearance while sunbathing in the sandpit. Parents no longer have to worry about lifting their children up high or holding them until their hands are sore.

In the "Rainforest Passage", children have the opportunity to see Bengal tiger twin brothers "Liufu" and "Laifu" up close, as well as the tiger brothers' neighbors, the orangutan Xiongda, and the sun bears Dudu and Winnie, which always surprises and delights the children. In fact, from the perspective of animals, we are the humans who are trapped in the secret passage, and we don’t even know who is being seen by whom!

The "old big bird cage" has been preserved by the park, and a climbing rope net has been set up inside and a sand pit has been laid outside, turning it into a children's exploration playground. Many children are reluctant to leave after playing there, and parents can also take the opportunity to rest or take photos and check in with their children.

The "Forest Canteen" is a beautiful family restaurant that looks like an art gallery. Its simple and neat white design is matched with a large glass curtain, allowing diners to look out at the Eland antelopes in the tall grass and sparse woods through the floor-to-ceiling windows. They can "enjoy their meals while watching the antelopes" and continue exploring the zoo after recharging their batteries.

If you are still not satisfied, there is the Hsinchu City Library Zoo Branch on the first floor of the basement and the Insect Museum with "free admission and unlimited entry" on Centennial Avenue around the zoo. It is also a must-visit place for parents and children. The Hsinchu City Cultural Bureau has created a warm reading space and collected many books on animal and plant ecology, allowing children to absorb knowledge to their heart's content. The "Insect Museum" converted from the old Chinese Radio Station displays animals such as Hercules beetles, Sulcata tortoises, snake-eating turtles, capybaras, chameleons and spectacled caimans. People who love animals should not miss it.

Welcome to Hsinchu Zoo, the closest zoo to animals in Taiwan
