Taipei Zoo Giant Panda House — Attraction in Taipei

Visited 12 September 2023 Sunny Autumn 🍁 Tuesday afternoon. The following sharing are based on our unbiased personal opinion and experience

Took my boy to the Taipei Zoo today spending some father and son bonding time together ❤️. We took the wenhu line from Nanjing Fuxing station to Taipei Zoo Station, half way through the journey the boy fell asleep 💤.

Missing all the beautiful scenery and people watching during the ride. But it's alright at least it's easier for me to manage less the crankiness 😆

We arrived the zoo in a swift without much effort and stroller friendly for the whole trip. I would say other than Japan, Taiwan 🇹🇼 is the next child friendly vacation destinations to be in.

Brought the entry ticket 🎟️ for 1 adult @ TW 60 and child enter for free. Lucky boy! The staff was friendly and helpful render assistant to all the park visitors.

I took a short break at the visitors center under the shade while waiting for my boy to enjoy his slumber. After 30min still no sign of him coming out from slumber I decided to push him around in his sleep hoping the sun 🌞 shine can wake him up.

It was really a huge zoo and we had a wonderful time discovering and animals spotting. The only down 👎 side is only the unbearable heat during this trip. Otherwise it's almost a 5 ⭐

Wonderful experience and I hope to come back with my family again in a much...

The Panda House at Taipei Zoo is a charming highlight that offers a rare opportunity to observe these beloved creatures up close. The zoo’s commitment to conservation is evident in the spacious and well-maintained enclosure that provides a comfortable habitat for the pandas.

Visitors are often captivated by the pandas’ playful antics and serene presence.

The Panda House is designed to mimic the animals’ natural environment, allowing them to exhibit natural behaviors. It’s a joy to watch them munch on bamboo, tumble around, or simply lounge about.

While the Panda House can get crowded, especially during peak hours, the experience is worth the wait. The staff at Taipei Zoo are knowledgeable and often available to answer questions, enhancing the educational aspect of the visit.

For the best experience, it’s recommended to arrive early to avoid the crowds and to see the pandas when they’re most active. The Panda House is not just an exhibit; it’s a window into the world of one of the most adored species on the planet, making it a must-see for anyone visiting Taipei Zoo

In 2008, the zoo received two pandas from the People's Republic of China (PRC), named Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan (meaning "reunion"), as a gesture of unity. The gift of the endangered pandas had been rejected by President Chen Shui-bian in 2005 who viewed it as a propaganda tool against Taiwan's independence, but the next president, Ma Ying-jeou, of the Kuomintang, had forged stronger economic and diplomatic relations with the PRC under his presidency, and was willing to accept them. The offering of pandas as a gift from the PRC is often known as "panda diplomacy", and the zoo expected to draw around 30,000 visitors a day as a result of their arrival. The move was criticized by supporters of Taiwan's independence and the opposition Democratic Progressive Party, who said that "Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan means a union, which perfectly matches Beijing's goal of bringing Taiwan into its fold."

The offspring of Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, Yuan Zai, was born on July 6, 2013. She is the first panda cub to be born in Taiwan. Yuan Zai's public debut was on January 6,...
