Location & Transportation

Lingling Animal Kingdom sits in Jimei District, Xiamen, nestled between the lush campus area of University Town and the serene Xinglin Bay. The address is No. 366, Xingjin Road, making it easy to reach by taxi or ride-sharing apps. For public transport, take Xiamen Metro Line 1 to Jiyuanyuan Station (Exit 2) and walk 10 minutes. If you’re arriving at Xiamen North Railway Station or Gaoqi Airport, it’s a 20-minute drive—perfect for a day trip!

Natural Landscape

Spanning 350 acres, the park blends into its hilly surroundings with forests, lakes, and open grasslands. Wander through sections mimicking wild habitats, like the Elephant Valley or Wild Bear Canyon. You’ll spot animals roaming in spaces that feel almost like a mini-safari. The Bird Valley is a riot of color, while the White Tiger Hill offers shaded trails where tigers prowl—safely behind glass, of course!

Wildlife Highlights

This is Fujian’s first animal-themed adventure park, housing dozens of rare species from Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Must-see areas include:

  • White Tiger Kingdom: Watch these majestic cats climb trees and splash in pools.
  • Parrot Paradise: Feed rainbow lorikeets nectar from your hand—they’ll land on shoulders and perch on fingers!
  • Elephant Camp: Ride gentle giants through a mock jungle (staff guide every step).
  • Horse Farm: Trot through meadows on horseback, guided by trainers.

Interactive Fun

Lingling Animal Kingdom isn’t just for looking—it’s for touching, feeding, and playing! At the Animal Nursery, kids bottle-feed baby goats and lambs. Daily Monkey Shows let you watch capuchins solve puzzles for treats. The Bear Show is a hit: watch black bears “fish” in a pool and climb trees—all with trainers’ humorous commentary.

Family-Friendly Facilities

Strollers and wheelchairs are available for rent. Clean restrooms and shaded picnic areas dot the park. For meals, try the Jungle Café (themed indoor dining) or Lakeside Snacks (think hot dogs, ice cream, and fresh fruit). There’s even a gift shop selling plush tigers, elephant toys, and locally made crafts.

Immersive Experiences

What sets Lingling Animal Kingdom apart? The chance to get close. At the Giant Tortoise Enclosure, help feed veggies to ancient shelled creatures. During Pony Rides, kids learn basic commands while trotting through flower beds. The Predator Show lets you see lions and leopards leap—from a safe distance,当然! For something calming, visit the Reptile House, where snakes and turtles lounge in glass-walled habitats.

Pro Tips

  • Go early! Animals are most active mornings (9 AM–11 AM).
  • Wear comfy shoes—the park is hilly but has paved paths.
  • Bring sunscreen, hats, and water bottles (refill stations available).
  • Check the app for live animal showtimes and maps.

Whether you’re a kid who loves petting zoos or an adult fascinated by wildlife, Lingling Animal Kingdom mixes education with adventure. It’s Xiamen’s wildest escape—without leaving the city!
