Origin: From Traditional Cages to a Free Kingdom

Furong Ancient Town

Original Intention – More Than a Zoo

While "Wangxian" evokes myths, BWP’s fame stems from its dedication to nature education. Unlike traditional zoos that confine animals in cages, BWP has strived to restore natural habitats since its opening in 2001. Here, there are no "cages"—only a cross-continental migration experience that lets humans enter animals’ homes and embrace equal dialogue between lives.

Rebirth – A Revolution from "Watching" to "Companionship"

BWP’s evolution is a revolution in zoological philosophy:

1.0 Initial Stage (2001): Opened as a traditional zoo with caged viewing.

2.0 Breakthrough Stage (20152019): Launch of self-drive areas and beast experience zones; the thrilling "humans in cages, beasts outside" design redefined visitor expectations.

3.0 Viral Stage (2023Present): Rise of animal internet celebrities like capybaras ("emotionally stable icons") and red panda "Boss Jiang"; revisit rate exceeds 40%, making it a top-tier attraction in Beijing.

Call of the Wild – Enter the Animals’ Free Kingdom

BWP’s landscape is a rhapsody of speed, power, and cuteness.

Power of Beasts: Heart-Pounding Wilderness Survival

Beast Experience Zone: Home to apex predators. Board a specially designed "cage feeding vehicle" for immersive wilderness adventure:

A brown bear stands upright to claw the vehicle, its 2-meter frame imposing;

A Siberian tiger lounges on the road, exuding royal dominance;

Spotted hyenas surround the vehicle, their calls sending chills down the spine.

Best Time to Visit: 9:30–10:30 AM, when beasts are most active. Buy a bucket of raw meat (≈¥50) and feed them through the cage bars—feel the thrill of a bear paw slapping the window.

White Tigers & Wolf Packs: Rare white tigers dazzle with their beauty, while free-roaming wolves demonstrate perfect teamwork.

Cuteness Overload: Walking Meme Machines

Red Panda Island (Top Celebrity Spot): BWP’s biggest star. The real-life red panda "Boss Jiang" patrols branches leisurely—its fluffy reddish-brown body and ringed tail, paired with slow apple-eating antics, deliver ultimate healing. Watch them dart at your feet, but remember: look but don’t touch.

Capybara Paradise (Emotionally Stable Masters): Opened in 2023, this is a "spiritual sanctuary" for young people. These laid-back South American rodents remain calm amid photos; watching them doze half-asleep slows time itself.

Parrot Rainforest: Hundreds of vibrant macaws fly overhead. Hold a cup of sunflower seeds, and they’ll perch on your shoulders/hat as perfect photo companions.

Ecological Miracle – The Rhythm of Life in Every Breath

Lush Forest: A Breathing Natural Oxygen Bar

Unlike southern canyon streams, BWP boasts 3,600 mu of forest with ultra-high vegetation coverage. The self-drive area replicates grasslands, plateaus, lakes, and wetlands. Blooming spring flowers and golden autumn foliage turn it into a year-round scenic forest park.

 Creative Scenery: Ingenious Immersive Design

Mini-Train Waiting Area: "Hufangqiao" (Tiger Square Bridge) for tiger viewing, "Xianyukou" (Fresh Fish Mouth) for fish watching—blending old Beijing place names with animal displays for cultural fun.

Macaque Exhibit: Old telephone poles and transformers coexist with macaques, illustrating industrial-nature conflict and inspiring ecological awareness.

Madagascar Jungle: Lemurs leap in their "kingdom", recreating classic scenes from the Madagascar movies.

Photography Tips:

Best red panda spot: 2nd floor of the café, greenery backdropcapture them munching bamboo leaves.

Beast zone: Use high-speed continuous shooting to freeze bears catching food.

Capybaras: Portrait mode for "emotional shots", blur background to highlight their drowsy eyes.

Wear bright colors (avoid bright red, which provokes beasts) for stunning parrot zone photos.

Shopping on Nanjing Road in Shanghai was just amazing! It's truly the "First Commercial Street of China", where tradition and modernity blend perfectly. You can find awesome souvenirs and experience the trendy vibes in cool stores. The neon lights at night are just spectacular, shining bright like Times Square in New York. The food here is incredible too. I had a feast for my taste buds. Shanghai, I'll definitely be back!

As a solo traveler from Canada, I was nervous about navigating China alone—but this 11-day tour was PERFECT! From hiking the Great Wall at sunrise (Day 3) to gasping at the Terracotta Army (Day 5), every day delivered ‘pinch-me’ moments. The real showstopper? Zhangjiajie’s Avatar Mountains (Day 7)! Our guide made the stone pillars come alive with stories. Massive thanks for handling all logistics—bullet train tickets, entry passes, car! And the 4-star hotels surprised me.

Our 2-day Zhangjiajie tour was beyond spectacular! As someone who’s visited Beijing and Shanghai for work, this trip revealed China’s wild, magical heart. Day 1 in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park felt like stepping onto Pandora—I’m a huge Avatar fan, and Yuanjiajie’s floating peaks left me breathless. The misty pillars and lush valleys like pure movie magic! Then came Fenghuang Ancient Town, we eat dinner beside the thundering waterfall. It seems Unreal! The night views of stilt houses glowing over the river were straight from a fairy tale. For fellow Avatar lovers and adventure seekers: Don’t miss this bucket-list experience! 10/10 would return.
