Hsinchu Zoo is the oldest public zoo in Taiwan, located within Hsinchu Park approximately one hour from Taipei by train. The facility underwent an extensive renovation in 2019 to implement a cageless design focused on animal welfare and naturalistic habitats. It is closed to the public on Mondays and is situated within walking distance of the Hsinchu Railway Station.
Founded in 1936, the Hsinchu City Zoo is guided by three core values: first, animal-friendly design. The zoo offers cage-free, animal-friendly exhibits, with 1.5 times more space for each animal to roam. Second, preserving history, the zoo has preserved historic buildings like old trees and the Elephant Gate, creating a familiar yet exciting experience. Third, promoting education, making the zoo a prime venue for experiential learning, is a key mission of the Hsinchu Zoo. The zoo's five most popular attractions include the historic Elephant Gate, the hippo Lele, the Bengal tiger's new home experience, the large aviary, and the Forest Cafe.
Elephant Gate: This elephant gate was built by a Japanese designer with reference to the gate of Hagenbeck Zoo in Hamburg, Germany.
Hippo Lele: is the animal star of Hsinchu Zoo.
Greater Flamingo: Also known as "Flamingo" or "Flamingo", it has a tall stature and white and light pink wings.
Ostrich: The largest bird on earth.
