The world's largest captive breeding base for Siberian tigers (sightseeing vehicle drives through tiger groups), tiger cub interaction. The world's largest captive breeding base for Siberian tigers, where several hundred Siberian tigers live free-range within the park; visitors ride a fully enclosed sightseeing vehicle through the tiger groups: adult tigers pace right up to the windows and pounce on released prey—the thrill of being 'only a wire mesh away from the king of beasts' is the park's signature experience; in the walking area, the cub interaction zone lets you watch tiger cubs at play up close—one park holds both the adorable and the fierce. The Siberian tiger is an endangered species worldwide, and the park also serves breeding research and rewilding training, with educational exhibits on the current state of Siberian tiger conservation; admission is CNY 130 including the sightseeing vehicle. In Songbei District it can be combined with Harbin Ice and Snow World and Sun Island into a one-day north-of-the-river route, and the sight of tigers cloaked in snow in winter is especially striking.
Getting there: by bus / by taxi
