Watch playful golden monkeys swinging through the treetops, admire the powerful takins grazing peacefully, and spot the elegant crested ibis, a bird once believed extinct in China but now successfully reintroduced. Your knowledgeable guide will provide fascinating insights into the behaviors of these animals as well as the center’s dedicated conservation programs aimed at protecting China’s vulnerable wildlife populations. During your visit, you will have plenty of time to stroll through the lush greenery, take photographs, and absorb the peaceful atmosphere.
