#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Shoushan Zoo is located at the southeast foot of Shoushan Mountain in Gushan District, Kaohsiung City. The original zoo was in Xiziwan at the west foot of Shoushan Mountain. At that time, the zoo was called Xiziwan Zoo. In 1986, it was moved from Xiziwan to the southeast foot of Shoushan Mountain and renamed Shoushan Zoo. The zoo covers an area of ​​12.89 hectares and has a sky corridor, a mountain-shaped exhibition area, a waterfront plaza and Light room coffee and other areas. Shoushan Zoo has a total of 11 parks, with more than 100 species of rare birds and animals from all over the world. It is an educational venue suitable for parent-child leisure and outdoor teaching, and it has the function of combining education with entertainment. Since Shoushan Zoo is not very large, there are plans to find a larger site in Liugui District to accommodate and add new animals. Let us wait and see what surprises the new zoo can bring us.

#trip A top choice for family outings Shoushan Zoo, located in Gushan District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, is one of the oldest and most iconic zoos in southern Taiwan. Founded in 1978, the zoo boasts a unique location at the foot of the scenic Shoushan Mountain, with its back to the mountain and its ocean views. The zoo boasts a rich natural ecosystem and combines educational, conservation, and entertainment functions, making it a prime destination for family travel and ecological education. With a focus on "nature, ecology, and education," Shoushan Zoo houses and exhibits over 100 species and nearly 1,000 animals from around the world, including large mammals such as Asian elephants, Bengal tigers, African lions, orangutans, and Formosan black bears, as well as a diverse collection of birds, reptiles, and amphibians. Furthermore, the zoo has been committed to improving animal welfare and naturalizing its habitats in recent years. Many animals now have more spacious areas to roam, simulating their wild habitats and allowing visitors to observe their behavior more realistically. After reopening in 2022, Shoushan Zoo introduced several innovative facilities that significantly enhanced the visitor experience and the animal habitat. Skywalk: This is the most eye-catching highlight of the new Shoushan Zoo. This 440-meter elevated walkway weaves through the animal habitats, allowing visitors to observe the activities of Formosan black bears, capybaras, and other animals from different perspectives, creating a reflective experience where "people watch the animals, and the animals watch us." Family Paradise: The original water plaza has been transformed into a sunken water plaza, combining dry springs and an animal jungle, making it a favorite summer splash pad for children. Children's Ranch: This is home to adorable animals such as African sheep, Boer sheep, and miniature horses. The zoo distributes free grass in limited quantities at regular intervals, allowing children to feed and interact with the animals up close, creating an ideal place for educational and fun activities. Shoushan Zoo is not only a landmark in Kaohsiung, but also a natural ecological treasure trove that combines both entertainment and learning. Whether you're traveling with children, attending school, or simply wanting to connect with nature and learn about animals, you'll find inspiration and inspiration here.

Kaohsiung Shoushan Zoo has great air and is very clean. I'll definitely go back next time!

#9月好去2025 My biggest impression of this trip to Shoushan Zoo was "breathing with the mountains." The zoo is built according to the terrain of Shoushan Mountain, with trails that sometimes wind and sometimes open. As you walk, you'll witness the interweaving of animals and greenery. For example, I encountered a hippopotamus poking its head out of the water through the glass viewing window 🐗 (so adorable), goats lined up to bask in the sun 🐐, and primates zipped briskly between wooden racks 🦧. Because the zoo utilizes elevated viewing platforms, you can get up close and personal from many angles, making photos incredibly enjoyable. It also allows you to observe the animals' natural, relaxed side. Rather than just a fleeting glimpse from beyond the railings, it's like stepping into the animals' daily lives. How to get there? 1. Public Transportation: We recommend taking the Kaohsiung MRT to Yanchengpu or Xiziwan Station. After exiting, transfer to a bus bound for Shoushan (mostly a shuttle minibus, marked "Zoo/Shoushan Route"). It takes about 10-15 minutes to reach the mountain's base entrance. Weekend bus service is more frequent, but it's still recommended to check the Kaohsiung City Bus schedule or official website for updates. 🚌 2. Driving/Biking: Take Shoushan Road uphill. Parking is available near the entrance, but it's often full on weekends, and the road is narrow. We strongly recommend taking public transportation or parking at the bottom of the mountain and taking a shuttle bus. The road uphill is winding, so remember to yield and slow down. 3. Taxi/Scooter: The ascent from Hama Star or Pier-2 takes about 10 minutes. It's a convenient way to get to the mountain without having to find a parking spot. Returning to the park is also easy to find. 🚕 Note: Mountain routes are subject to change. Please refer to the latest announcements from the zoo or the Kaohsiung City Government for hours and transfer information. Park Route and Highlights I took a clockwise route from "Entrance → Primates → Herbivore Area → Bird Garden → Observation Deck → Hippopotamus." The wooden platform in the primate area is designed to be three-dimensional, allowing for perfect viewing of the animals at varying heights. The herbivore area offers ample space, with alpacas and goats leisurely shifting between sunlight and shade. The hippopotamus pool is a popular photo op. Through the glass, watch them hold their breath and flip over in the water, their slow motion resembling a diving dance, leaving children mesmerized. The park's thoughtfully designed "enriched" design is evident throughout: food storage, climbing areas, and a mix of sand and water areas keep the animals occupied, encouraging movement and making observation more engaging. Travel Tips • Embracing the Rhythm of the Mountain: Shoushan is a zoo that breathes. The slope isn't steep, but it's full of ups and downs, and a full circuit takes about 1.5–2 hours. Because you're in the mountains, the chirping of cicadas, birdsong, and the rustling of the wind become the background sound. Spending time there naturally slows your pace, which is quite soothing 🌿. • Family-Friendly: Many trails have gentle slopes and accessible routes, making them stroller-friendly (though caution is advised around steep turns). The signage is easy to understand and child-friendly. • Respect and Distance: Being close doesn't mean you can shout or bang on the windows. Quietly observing will often reveal the animals' most natural moments. When I see other visitors preparing snacks, I remind them not to feed them—it's safer for both the animals and yourself 🤝. • Shoushan Macaques: You may occasionally encounter wild macaques in the mountains outside the park. 🐒 Never feed them or wave plastic bags around. Just keep your food safe and your backpack zipped up. Food and Supplies The park has vending machines and snack bars, but the selection isn't extensive. Bring water and light snacks. For lunch, head down the mountain to Hama Star or Pier 2 for a bite to eat. From seafood snacks to coffee and desserts, they're all within easy reach. ☕🍱 If you want to extend your time, stop by the Shoushan Trail or the sunset at Xizi Bay for a perfect day. Practical Tips✅ • Arrive at the zoo as soon as it opens to avoid the midday heat and crowds. In the summer, sunscreen, hydration, and mosquito repellent are essential. 🧴🧢 • Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring light rain gear; mountain weather can be unpredictable. • Try to use a telephoto lens and avoid flash for photos. If children are noisy, change your angle or leave first so everyone can enjoy the view. • To see the animals most active, pay attention to the zoo's posted feeding/interpretation times, or approach the viewing area during the cooler mornings and evenings. ⏰ Summary Shoushan Zoo isn't one of those large, "see the world at once" parks, but it does have a unique mountain atmosphere. Amidst the chirping of insects and the shadows of trees, you'll slowly approach the animal habitats. A hippopotamus's puffs and the small spectacle of goats standing in a row will soothe you and lift your spirits. If you're looking for a slower pace that allows you to enjoy both nature and its charm, this place is well worth a half-day or full-day stroll. Ascend the mountain with curiosity and respect, and Shoushan will reward you with abundant greenery and its charming inhabitants.

#September2025 Spend half a day at Shoushan Zoo! It's not just a sideshow on the city's edge, but an ecological classroom nestled in the mountains and forests—you'll spot sika deer strolling through the shadows, hear the calls of blue peacocks, and watch zebras gallop across the sandy plains, all while gazing up at the blue skies of Kaohsiung. • Name | Kaohsiung Shoushan Zoo • Location | Inside Shoushan Park, Gushan District, Kaohsiung City (near the Hamashing and Chaishan hiking trails) • Open | Tuesday to Sunday (Mondays are often maintenance days); actual opening hours are subject to park announcements. • Ticket Prices | Affordable: Adult tickets are approximately NT$40–60; discounts are available for students, seniors, and registered Kaohsiung residents (subject to on-site announcements). • Transportation | Cycling or driving is the easiest way to reach the Gushan/Yancheng area. For public transportation, take the MRT to Yanchengpu Station or Xiziwan Station, then transfer to a bus or taxi. Background and History | From a small hillside zoo to an "animal welfare-first" institution Shoushan Zoo grew up on coral reef limestone terrain. In its early years, it was primarily a family outing destination, with traditional exhibits. Over the years, the zoo has adhered to the principles of animal welfare and environmental enrichment, gradually renovating paths, updating enclosures, adding three-dimensional habitats and shaded water features, and adding barrier-free routes and parent-child restrooms. Walking through the zoo now, you'll notice that the cages have receded into the background, while the shade of trees and the original rocks take center stage. Sika deer have ramps to jump, primates have rope bridges to swing on, and the distance between the wild animal area and the herbivore area is wide, ensuring clear and safe sightlines. This focus on "allowing animals to live as they truly are" is the true evolution of Shoushan Zoo in recent years. ⸻ My Half-Day Stroll (Photo-by-Photo Tour) ① Prelude to the Forest: Viewing the City Through the Trees As we ascend the winding driveway, the roadside frame is framed by intertwined branches and leaves, with the city looming faintly in the distance. This section feels like a "Kaohsiung Nature Bookmark," so let's slow down our pace. ② Taiwanese Sika Deer Area A herd of deer paces the edge of the stone steps, their spots of sunlight striking a beautiful spot. Here, you can observe the subtle movements of birds like twitching their ears and sniffing the ground up close—a perfect spot for children. ③ Blue Peacock and Bird Area A blue peacock stood on the edge of a concrete platform, its plumage gleaming in the shadows of the trees. It doesn't constantly display its feathers, but an occasional call or a turn to display its back feathers creates a miniature performance. ④ Cats and Nocturnal Animals After noon, when the sun is strong, these birds often nap in the shade. Don't knock on the windows or shout; just quietly observe their breathing and the gentle twitching of their tails to learn how these animals conserve energy. ⑤ African Savanna Area: Zebras Make Their Appearance The view opens up, revealing the distinct layers of sand, wooden fences, and artificial rocks. A zebra's puff of dust rises as it gallops; turn and catch the light, and its stripes become incredibly three-dimensional—perfect for photographing! ⸻ Why I Recommend Shoushan Zoo (10 Reasons) 1. The closest mountain forest animal course to the city: plenty of shade, a gentle slope, and suitable for hiking in all seasons. 2. Animal Welfare: The habitat is three-dimensional, with well-designed shade and water features, allowing for more natural observation of animal behavior. 3. Tall, high-rise terrain: Coral rocks, old trees, and the distant harbor view blend seamlessly into one scene. 4. Family-Friendly: Accessible ramps and family restrooms are available, even strollers are welcome. 5. Photographer-Friendly: Zebras, peacocks, and sika deer are all photogenic; the shadows are beautifully layered. 6. Clear Explanations and Flow: The new signs are easy to understand, making it easy to navigate. 7. Reasonable Ticket Price: On a good day, I often thought, "I'd definitely come back again." 8. Convenient Extension: Down the mountain, you'll find Hama Star, the Gushan Ferry, and Xizi Bay. 9. Local Education: Children don't learn animal names; they observe their behavior. 10. Strong Sense of Season: Spring brings abundant bird song, summer brings deep tree shadows, and autumn and winter offer the most expansive views. ⸻ Photography Tips (You Can Take Great Photos Even with Your Phone) 📸 • Sika Deer: Focus on the eyes, allowing the white spots on their bodies to catch some side light; EV -0.3 creates a better three-dimensional effect. • Peacock: You don't have to wait for the feathers to spread; catch the moment it turns its head; its neck feathers will reflect a metallic luster. • Zebra: Wait until it passes through the light band, and use a shutter speed of 1/500 or higher to freeze the dust as it runs. • Cityscapes: Use branches in the foreground to frame the city; lower the horizon by 1/3. • Family Photos: Look for shaded areas near stone walls or wooden fences to prevent the subject from being overshadowed by backlight. ⸻ Practical Tips (Avoidance List) ⚠️ • Time of Day: Animals are most active in the morning and evening; during the midday heat, they tend to rest in the shade. • Rules: Do not tap on glass, feed, or throw anything. The safety of animals is as important as your own. • Clothing and Footwear: There are many slopes and stone steps, so wear non-slip shoes, a water bottle, and mosquito repellent. • Weather: In summer, the sun is strong, so hydration and sun protection are essential. On rainy days, the roads can be slippery, so slow down. • Transportation: If driving, please secure a parking spot early; taking the MRT is the easiest option. ⸻ Half-Day Itinerary (Directly Copy) Family Version: Zoo Main Gate → Deer Area → Peacock/Birds → Wildlife House → Grassland Area → Rest at the Observation Deck → Descend to Hama Star Railway Park to relax Couple Version: Morning Zoo Tour → Afternoon Descend to Gushan → Take the Cijin Ferry to See the Ocean → Enjoy Seafood at Cijin Old Street → Return to the City for Night View ⸻ Review (with address!) • Sea Ice (After the Forest Adventure, Enjoy Ice Cream) Address: No. 76, Binhai 1st Road, Gushan District, Kaohsiung City My Order: Mixed Fruit Ice Cream + Passion Fruit Smoothie After a walk around the mountain, I had a bowl of yuzu; the sweet and sour flavor washed away the heat. The portions were generous, and I enjoyed chatting and taking photos. • Banana Pier Seaview Restaurant (Watching the boats come and go as a backdrop) Address: No. 17, Penglai Road, Gushan District, Kaohsiung City I ordered a fried seafood platter and a draft beer. Sitting by the window, looking out at the harbor, I reflected on my favorite animal of the day. The harbor city vibe was spot on. ⸻ Real moments from my trip What I remember most is the sight of a zebra galloping across the sand, the dust rising from its feet like a light filter. Turning back, I saw a peacock standing on the edge of the platform, and the city skyline was visible in the distance. The charm of Shoushan Zoo lies in the fact that the animals are truly living, and the city is also there. From morning till night, you're constantly switching between nature and the city, feeling completely at ease. 👏🏻 ⸻ Conclusion Want to give yourself and your family a day in the nature without the hassle of traveling? Shoushan Zoo is the right choice: affordable admission, friendly routes, and natural-looking animals. It also seamlessly connects your itinerary to Sizihwan, Cijin, or Pier-2. This isn't just a "visit" attraction; it's a city backyard you can return to over and over again, each time offering new discoveries.

This morning, I took my son to Kaohsiung Shoushan Zoo, taking the Taiwan Railways tram from Kaohsiung Main Station to Gushan Station. We then took a taxi near Gushan Station and arrived in less than five minutes. The zoo boasts a wide variety of animals, but children in strollers may be too short to see the animals, so I recommend letting them walk around. The zoo also offers a paid ride on the miniature train, which offers a unique experience for first-time visitors. #ShouShanZoo

When it comes to family attractions in Kaohsiung, the first thing that comes to mind is [Shoushan Zoo]. Not only do children love to come here, but adults will also laugh like children when they come. Located at the foot of Shoushan Mountain, this zoo with a history of more than 40 years has returned magnificently after renovation in 2022, becoming more beautiful, greener, and more animal-friendly. The current Shoushan Zoo is like a small African grassland hidden on the edge of the city. Once you walk in, you will forget that you are still in Kaohsiung City. 🦁 Animals up close! You can see and hear their breathing The biggest feature of Shoushan Zoo is "super close animals". The exhibition space after the renovation is mostly open, no longer separated by glass and fences, but through the natural terrain, hidden canals and low walls, people and animals maintain a safe distance, but can also truly "see" their lives. Here, you can see: • 🐘 African elephants strolling leisurely, shaking their trunks to take a bath • 🐅 Malayan tapirs rolling on the grass • 🐒 Chimpanzees eating and observing tourists, looking like "I am the protagonist" • 🐆 Clouded leopards and Bengal tigers running through the grass, looking very handsome The animals here live very comfortably and don't stay in the corner.

Along the way, you will pass through many viewing platforms and rest areas.

Kaohsiung is a very warm city, but it is neither too cold nor too hot in March, so it is just the right place to bring children to see animals. As soon as we entered the park, the children were attracted by the tourist buses and kept saying they wanted to ride the train. It costs 70 yuan per person for both adults and children, which is actually not cheap, but if the children want to ride, we try not to spoil their fun. As long as we have fun when we go out to play, that’s fine. There is an audio guide on the tour bus, and the trip ends very quickly, but you can get a general idea of ​​the routes and animals in the park first. After returning to the starting point, we slowly began to walk around and look at the animals in the park. There are elephants, lions, deer, peacocks, meerkats... and so on. There are many animals here, and it is a very suitable place for parent-child travel. However, there are also many wild monkeys here. Adults and children should be careful not to have food on them. Shoushan Zoo advocates peaceful coexistence with them. #MarchGoodPlaces2025

Today, five of my best friends and sisters made an appointment to go to Shoushan Park and Chaishan Mountain in Kaohsiung to eat delicious food.

The pretty proprietress greeted us warmly and made us feel at home. The endless sea and beautiful environment made us feel good and our appetites opened up. We ordered a pot of (Sesame Oil Chicken Soup). The chicken is free-range for more than a month. The skin is thick, the meat is tender and juicy. It's really delicious. The sesame oil is really fragrant and mellow. It has a sweet aftertaste when it goes into the throat. It's really delicious. A must-try delicacy. (Taobaozi/Pineapple Sauce) Steamed Milkfish Belly. My favorite. The taste is sweet and fresh. It's really delicious. There are also (Steamed Prawns) (Fried King Oyster Mushrooms) (Pumpkin Fried Rice Noodles) (Ginger Fried Cabbage) (Boiled Oysters).

As a kid from Kaohsiung, Shoushan Zoo finally reopened in December 2022. It is the Kaohsiung Municipal Zoo and one of the three largest municipal zoos in Taiwan, second only to Taipei Muzha Zoo! The zoo covers an area of ​​more than 12 hectares and has seven themed exhibition areas. After the renovation in 2022, the animal divisions have not changed much. Almost all the animals inside are the original residents. This major renovation is mainly to create a modern zoo that is in line with animal welfare and a friendly visitor space. In addition to improving the animal living environment, park activity space and hardware equipment, the zoo has also added an "air walk corridor" to make visitors' views and circulation more comfortable, an "observation corridor" to get up close to the animals, and parent-child interaction to cool off. The "Water Plaza" for playing in the water, the "Children's Pasture" where free grass is regularly distributed to feed the sheep, and the oversized iron cage area where the chimpanzees were originally housed was transformed into a textured cafe "Light Is Café", etc., making the zoo more than just a Just looking at animals😍 📍Address: No. 350, Wanshou Road, Gushan District, Kaohsiung City 80444 🕰️Business hours: Tuesday to Sunday 09:00-16:30, closed on Mondays

This time we two adults arrived we did not take anything to eat and had a good lunch at the original restaurant. The food quality was very good. After that, we looked around. Although there were not many animals, the place was very clean. I was afraid of a lot of mosquitoes at first, but I was not bitten. It happened to be Saturday, so although there were many people, it didn't feel crowded. It is worth everyone to visit together.

There are many Formosan macaques in Shoushan Zoo. Be careful with your food.

#100 Ways to Travel The Shoushan Zoo is located in Kaohsiung City. As a zoo of course there are many animals, including Taiwanese black bears, capybaras, lions and tigers The most special thing about the zoo is the Light Room Coffee, which looks like an iron-cage restaurant that used to be the home of chimpanzees and was kept during the zoo renovation so that visitors can feel the animals being locked up

The area is not large but the animals are quite diverse. You can see many animals without walking too far. The ticket price is cheap💵💵💵, only 40 yuan for adults.
