Beijing Zoo was the first of its kind in China. It contains a diverse collection of animals, a number of exhibition halls and some sites of historical interest. It is home to around 450 different species and has a population of some 5,000 animals. Beijing Zoo is comprised of 16 different exhibition areas and halls. The most popular is the Panda Hall. Built in 1989 and covering an area of around 10,000 square meters, it delivers an impressive aesthetic scene while also managing to account for the practical considerations of housing such large and precious animals. The inside of the hall replicates the style of traditional Chinese gardens. All halls and exhibition areas are finely constructed so as to ensure that the animals enjoy a both comfortable and healthy living environment.
