Get ready for a proper adventure at this sprawling safari park, a place so vast you'll want to rent a little electric buggy to zip around and see everything. You can get remarkably close to the animals here, with chances to feed gentle giraffes and even elephants.

A large open-range zoo near Xili Lake — one of the easiest big-ticket attractions to enjoy with younger children. The safari bus, large animal habitats and lower museum-patience requirement make it ideal for kids who need to move.

The park is home to some incredible creatures, including giant pandas and the rare South China tiger, offering a wild day out where you can explore at your own pace and create some unforgettable memories with the animals.

Genuine close-up animal encounters from the safety of the safari bus. Allow 3 to 4 hours for a full visit. Rent a family cart or use the internal transport early instead of trying to walk the entire park.

How to get there: Metro Line 7 — Safari Park Station — shuttle bus or short walk

Address: Xili, Nanshan District
