A cage-free zoo

For this reopening, Hsinchu Zoo has adopted the concept of “a zoo within a park,” creating a cage-free environment. Its animal-friendly management approach has amazed visitors, allowing them to interact closely with the animals, observe wildlife in their natural state, and enjoy a stroll-in-the-park-like experience.

Zoo library

Breaking with tradition, Hsinchu Zoo has set up a branch of the Hsinchu Municipal Library inside its visitor center. The collection features specially curated books on flora and fauna as well as children’s titles, and displays a variety of animal specimens—making it a veritable paradise of knowledge for kids.
