Attraction Highlight:
Forest Park localted in the thickly wooded hills around the city, the main zoo section is pretty small and mundane. They do have some pandas, but be warned that pandas in Chinese zoos prefer to sleep rather than frolicking.
More interesting things are the raccoon-like lesser Pandas, Siberian White Tigers and other tiger species, Pere David's Deer and a few other truly unusual zoo offerings. On the other side of the zoo is a safari ride. The best part of the forest Zoo is the enormous cable car system that offers a bedazzing view of Dalian and the natural setting in which the zoo is built. Perhaps better called the "Mountain Zoo", traversing the zoo is moderately arduous hike through some striking forests aquarium, but in this seafood-loving city restaurants and markets offer a better assortment of live ocean life than the commercial aquariums.
