The Ocavanga has hit Hangzhou. The Hangzhou Safari Park is a fully-fledged zoo and safari park with quite an array of exotic animals housed in accommodation somewhat better than mine. Lions, Siberian tigers, and the odd Hippo steal the show, but "The Naughty Monkey Cage" is good for giggles too. Nit Eating Monkeys preening every conceivable part of their bodies will have you in stitches. You can take the train around the safari park, or even drive yourself, via the private car entry. At every stop there are zoo keepers with mulberry bushes to feed the camels, apples the Brown bear and live chickens for the Cheetahs to squabble over. Maybe if your cab driver didn't make the best deal you could feed him to the lions, or perhaps the crocs.
Make sure to get a park map at the gate. Private cars are allowed in, so look out for the vehicle entrance when you arrive. If you don’t drive, there is a train leaving every few minutes to take you around. It’ll take 2 or 3 hours to stroll around. The park has spent all efforts to feed the animals, and not much on their guests. Strongly suggest to take your own lunch with you. Ticket Price: adult: 90RMB, children: 45RMB.
Take No. 514 bus, the station is at Longxiang Qiao龙翔桥 and goes striaght to the Safari Park. If you drive yourself, head towards Fuyang, and you will see signs on the way. It'll take 45 mins or an hour to get there.
Maps on More Hangzhou (RLNewton) 2009-10-05 08:04:43 The maps provided for all the sections really need to be improved. Especially for new residents, when you click on "map it", it just brings up a general map, and it does not even put a little marker of the place you are trying to find. Specifically, with the Hangzhou Safari Park, the map that comes up does not even cover this location. Thanks for listening, and I hope we can see some better maps shortly.
