Featuring multiple viewing areas, the park offers visitors a comprehensive understanding of rare animals' behaviors and ecological habitats from various angles, each corner brimming with vitality and vibrancy.

Spanning over 400 mu (26.67 hectares) and located 65 kilometers from Xi'an city center, the park serves as a sanctuary for rare wildlife, an educational hub, and a frontier for scientific research.

Visitors can witness the Qinling Four Treasures – giant pandas, crested ibises, golden monkeys, and takins – and encounter over 20 other free-roaming rare wildlife species in this paradise, including red pandas, black bears, muntjacs, spotted deer, golden eagles, long-eared owls, eagles, falcons, vultures, and red-bellied tragopans.

Among the stars of this animal kingdom, none shine brighter than Qizai, the world's only artificially-bred brown giant panda. With its unique charm, Qizai has attracted countless visitors from around the world to the park for up-close experiences and interactions.
