Beijing Zoo was founded in 1906. It was built by the Ministry of Commerce in the "agricultural testing ground" of the Qing Dynasty, on the former site of the "two parks and two temples", namely Leshan Garden, Ji Garden, Guangshan Temple and Hui'an Temple, in Xizhimenwai. The park is made up of three parts: zoo, botanical garden and agricultural experiment. The original zoo is located to the east of the park, covering an area of 1.5 hectares. It is the first zoo open to the public in China and the first park open to the public in northern China. According to research, this place is also the birthplace of modern Chinese zoos, botanical gardens and museums.

Beijing Zoo was officially named in 1955. It covers an area of 80.05 hectares, where about 500 species of rare wild animals are exhibited, in total more than 5,000 rare wild animals. Beijing Zoo adheres to "equal attention to education and protection, and equal emphasis on safety and service." Focusing on the goal of making Beijing a world city, it strives to become a card of Beijing that shows the charm of the capital to domestic tourists and shows the image of China to foreign tourists. Beijing Zoo is a key national park, a national key cultural relics protection unit, a national popular science education base, and a AAAA-level national scenic spot.
