Beijing Zoo, a tourist attraction in China.

Beijing Zoo is located in Xizhimenwai Street, Xicheng District, Beijing. It is the earliest zoo in China, with the largest variety of rare birds and animals. Covering an area of about 90 hectares, it raises more than 900 kinds of exhibition animals and more than 20,000 animals, and receives more than 6 million Chinese and foreign tourists every year. From Wansheng Garden in the late Qing Dynasty, agricultural experimental field in the Republic of China, to Beijing Zoo after the founding of the People's Republic of China; From a place serving court nobles and bureaucratic warlords, it has become a place for the public, especially children, to carry out popular science education, games and rest and sightseeing.

In the Ming dynasty, this was the royal manor. In the thirty-second year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, it was expanded into a farm experimental field to cultivate various plants and domesticate ornamental animals. It was opened to the outside world for two years and was named Wansheng Garden. After liberation, it was completely rebuilt and expanded to become a western suburb park, and 1955 was renamed Beijing Zoo. The park has a building area of more than 50,000 square meters, including rhinoceros pavilion, hippo pavilion, Shihu Mountain, Woong San, Monkey Mountain, Elephant House, Antelope Pavilion, Giraffe Pavilion, Panda Pavilion, Marine Animal Pavilion, Ape Pavilion, Songbird Pavilion, Small Zoo, Deer Park and other representative animal species from all over the world.

The history of Beijing Zoo can be traced back to the 32nd year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1906). Its predecessor was the agricultural experimental field of the Ministry of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce of the Qing Dynasty, which was built on the former sites of Leshan Garden, Jiyuan Garden (also known as "Three Cups Garden"), Guangshan Temple and Hui 'an Temple. After completion, the agricultural experimental field covers an area of about 765,438+0 hectares. In addition to many beautiful buildings, there are laboratories, farm equipment rooms, fertilizer rooms, silkworm houses, greenhouses and farmers' houses. Various crops were tested in five batches, namely "grain and wheat experiment, sericulture experiment, vegetable experiment, fruit tree experiment and flower experiment". The affiliated zoo covers an area of only 1.5 hectares (that is, the southeast corner of Beijing Zoo today). The animals originally exhibited were Duan Fang, Minister of Nanyang and Governor of Liangjiang. Some animals were bought from Germany, and some were given to the Qing government by governors all over the country. There are about dozens of animals. There is a greenhouse in the plant room, and all kinds of exotic flowers and herbs are on display. Because of its location, the traffic is very convenient, and it is also the first agricultural experimental field in the capital that integrates animals and plants and has the nature of a park. Therefore, at the beginning of its operation, people were constantly flowing and it was very lively. Even Cixi and Guangxu came to the park twice to watch. The name of this farm experimental field soon spread to the capital.

After the demise of the Qing dynasty, the government of the Republic of China fought among warlords for years, and the farm proving ground gradually declined and its name was changed repeatedly. It was once called "Central Agricultural Experimental Field", "National Beiping Natural Museum", "Horticultural Experimental Field of General Administration of Industry" and "Beiping Horticultural Experimental Field". When I arrived in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, only one elephant starved to death, and the lions and leopards in the zoo were poisoned by the Japanese under the pretext of air defense. On the eve of liberation, the stadium was in ruins and the garden was deserted, leaving only 13 monkeys and an old emu.

1949 In February, the Beijing Municipal People's Government took over the then "Beiping Agricultural and Forestry Laboratory" and the Construction Bureau changed its name to "Beiping Agricultural and Forestry Laboratory". Due to the lack of agricultural and forestry experimental conditions, it was renovated, transformed and afforested, and in September of the same year 1 was named "Xijiao Park". 1 950 March1day, Xijiao Park officially opened. Shortly after its opening, Xijiao Park was divided into Xijiao Park Management Office and Xijiao Experimental Farm on March 15 of the same year. 1952 In August, according to the decision of the Municipal Park Management Committee, Xijiao Experimental Farm was merged into Xijiao Park Management Office. On April 1955 and 1 day, Xijiao Park was officially renamed as "Beijing Zoo" with the approval of the Municipal People's Committee.

In the early 1950s, the country was in an emergency and its financial resources were tight, but it still allocated special funds to build Xijiao Park. National leaders and central governments at all levels have also given support to the construction of western suburb parks. At the beginning of 1950, in order to prepare for the opening of Xijiao Park, the fences, peony pavilions, hurricane halls and zoo animal halls in the park were repaired as appropriate. Transform the bird cage, deer shed, Monkey Mountain and Yonglu in the zoo, add some small animals, and buy birds such as yellowbird, Jiaokou, golden wing, Taiping bird, sparrow, bridled eyebrow, turkey, kite, crane and goose, as well as deer, wolf, mouse and leopard. At the same time, Chairman Mao, Chairman Zhu De and other national leaders also donated precious animals such as Asian elephants, lynx, gibbon, black bear, big-eared sheep, elk and Indian rhinoceros to the zoo for breeding and exhibition. 1952 the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPC presented the horses "Juqing", "Red Mule" and "Tieqing Horse" which were ridden by Zhu De and Ren during the war years to the zoo for breeding and exhibition, and transferred the historical materials of three war horses to the zoo for publicity.

With the development of animal species and quantity, the infrastructure construction of zoos has also developed rapidly. Since 1950, the facilities of the old zoo have been transformed, and 1952 has been changed into a small zoo. In addition, 23 buildings (including one reconstruction) including elephant house, lion house, black bear mountain, monkey house, raptor bar, waterfowl lake, songbird house, grassland dwellers' garden, lion tiger mountain, hippopotamus house, rhinoceros house, panda house and giraffe house have been built one after another. The zoo has a total construction area of about 7,000 square meters, a playground area of more than 40,000 square meters, and an investment of more than 3 million yuan. Gradually expand the zoo from the eastern part of the park to the central and western parts of the park. In addition to building animal houses, the old houses will be used to rebuild feed houses and veterinary houses, and at the same time, roads in the park will be maintained, water supply and power supply will be increased, and new sewage facilities will be built. 1952

In, Beijing Exhibition Hall was completed, covering an area of about 1 1 hectare in the east of Xijiao Park. After 1953, the number of animals exchanged from abroad and collected in China increased sharply. In order to prevent animal diseases, it is necessary to quarantine the newly introduced animals. Approved by the Municipal Bureau of Landscape Architecture, Dashichang in the western suburbs (south exit of Baishiqiao Road) was transformed into an animal farm in the western suburbs park. 1September, 958, with the approval of Beijing Urban Planning Administration, the Changhebei land was requisitioned according to the development plan of the zoo.

Beijing Zoo is a combination of Leshan Garden, Sanyizi Garden, Guangshan Temple, Hui 'an Temple, some houses and rice fields in Qing Dynasty. Originally a royal garden in the Ming Dynasty, it was given to Prince Kang in the early Qing Dynasty, and the garden pavilion was gradually abandoned. In the 12th year of Qing Qianlong (1747), it was rebuilt and named Leshan Garden. Later, it was the private garden of Fu Kang 'an Beizi, the third son of Fu Heng, a university student in Qing Dynasty, commonly known as Sanbeizi Garden. Its east is the former Leshan Garden, and its west is the former Keyuan Garden (1879 was renamed Jiyuan). In the thirty-second year of Guangxu reign (1906), the Qing government began to buy a large number of rare birds and animals, turned the southeast corner of the garden into a "small zoo", set up meteorological, sericulture, farmland and other departments, and merged Guangshan Temple and Hui 'an Temple to organize agricultural experimental fields. 19 15 was renamed as the central agricultural experimental field. 1928 was changed to Beiping Agricultural Experimental Field, and the following year it was renamed as Natural Museum. 1934 was renamed Wansheng Garden. 1949 turned into Xijiao Park, and 1955 was renamed Beijing Zoo.

In the Qing dynasty, it was originally one of the royal gardens of the Qing royal family. During Guangxu period, it was changed into a farm experimental field, which took two years to manage and organize. At the same time, Duan Fang bought a batch of liger and rare bird breeding gardens from German, so it is also called "Ten Thousand Sacrifices Garden". The Changguan Building in the northwest of the park was a very modern building at that time. On the top floor of the building, you can overlook the scenery of Xishan in the west and Beijing in the east. After its completion, Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu lived here successively.

The official building, located on the west side of Beijing Zoo, is the only European royal palace in the late Qing Dynasty.
