The Chinese mainland, stretching 5,026 kilometers from the seas of the East to the broad plains, expansive deserts and mountainous regions in the West, is blessed to have extremely diverse climates: from tropical in the South to subarctic in the North. These differences add color to the country, aside from her rich history and dynamic future.

This geographic uniqueness paved the way for the growth of various habitats for land, air and sea creatures. The country hosts many kinds of rare species that are unique in this part of the world. The Chinese government, aware of these wonderful bounties, has set up numerous zoos throughout the country to preserve the lives of these animals. From Hong Kong to Shanghai or Beijing, one can definitely find one, wherever he or she is.
