Located in the Coastal National Forest Park of Beidaihe Scenic Area between Qinhuangdao and Beidaihe and covering an area of 825 acres (334 hectares), Qinhuangdao Safari Park (Wildlife Park) is a large city safari park with the highest forest coverage rate and one of the most beautiful environments in China. Nowadays, it has become a popular place in the Qinhuangdao Scenic Area and even been listed as a national 4A level scenic spot.

Taking advantage of particularly favorable local natural conditions, this park complies with the concept of “Harmonizing the Relationship between Humans and Nature” and adopts management methods of “Large-scale Captive, Small-scale Free-ranging”. In this way, tourists can have a lot of fun by mixing closely with the animals. They can play with the tame ones, feed them and take photos with them; and watch the wild ones at close quarters.

The Safari Park is home to more than 5,000 animals. Among them, there are many rare kinds, such as Siberian tigers, African lions, giraffes, zebras, brown bears, and black swans. They live in 20 different areas, including the Lion Park, Bear Park, Tiger Park, White Tiger Park, Monkey Park, Peacock Park, Animal Training Field and the African Flavor Garden. The Animal Training & Performance Field shows visitors how beasts prey on their food. In the African Flavor Garden, besides the largest herbivorous animals, there are native Africans plants to give a genuine African flavor.

In addition, the park provides several entertainment facilities, such as Go-kart and horse riding, for tourists to fully enjoy themselves. Notably, Lovers Lake is also a popular site in this park, especially for couples who want to have a date.
