A bit strange at times, such as the giant nipple statue, but a pleasant walk during spring to autumn with loads of random statues and things to see. Gooe day trip out of Wei hai

we went with my chinese friends in the early morning and the timing was good because we got the chance to see the goddess made in metal opening up to release fire and also different water patterns from the founains.Seeing the daity was a great achievement fo me but the stairs were too many.However,one at the top,the view was breathtaking.Shidao scenic resort is very beautiful and i rcommend anyone going to Rongcheng to pay a visit.
Make sure you wear flat shoes as its hilly,carry water and some snacks,and an umbrella to shield yourself from the sun which can be much at times.

Bears on bicycles, Lions and Tigers doing tricks and now a baby Asian elephant is rejected by it's stressed mother! Elephants in the wild don't rejects their babies because they've learned how to be a mother from the other matriarchs. ELEPHANTS DON'T BELONG IN ZOOS!!!
See how African elephants are returned to the wild at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust website and how important it is to understand elephants to preserve the species. Like us, they need the love and support of their families to survive and not to be caged alone in a zoo!

Pluspunkte gibt es für sehr freundliches Personal und die schön eingerichteten Zimmer.
Negativ waren die Entfernung vom Zentrum und der umständliche Weg mit Bus und Metro. Nervig waren zudem die sehr hellhörigen Zimmer, in denen man das spanische Fernsehen der Zimmernachbarn mithören musste. Das Frühstücksbuffet war für spanische Verhältnisse gut, für gewöhnlichen Standard eher sparsam.

My Chinese hosts invited me for a visit to this park in Rongcheng, Shandong province. This review offers a Westerners’ perspective for visitors from more developed countries and anyone concerned with animal welfare. If you're from the USA, Europe, etc. you will probably find this zoo rather depressing, and not helping China's image with regard to animal welfare and conservation issues.
Positives: the park is built around some rugged hills near a bay, so there’s some nice scenery of the surrounding hills and seaside. If you like hiking and getting some exercise, this provides for a good workout. Some of the tiger enclosures are a bit bigger than a typical American zoo (although that’s changing). Most of the animals appear to be well-fed. There are also a wide variety of species, including native endangered species such as golden snub-nosed monkeys and pandas. The seals and sea lions are housed right next to the water and appeared to get getting fresh sea water piped into their enclosures. (Most of them, anyways) The children's petting zoo has several horses and ponies for riding on, which is sure to delight the kids.
Negatives: where to begin. This is depressingly substandard compared to the world class zoos found in the USA and Europe or even Shanghai Wild Animal Park. It’s about 50-60 years behind the times. We visited in March which is probably off-season.
- The enclosures for the big cats and wolves are almost devoid of grass, probably due to the animals’ pacing around. The ponds/pools were green with algae and some of the pools barely had any water at all.
- There’s a large area devoted mainly to tigers (and their various color mutations) and other large carnivores. There was a hybrid lion/tiger exhibit as well as a lion and tiger being housed together (presumably for the purpose of making more ligers). Such hybrids do not exist in the wild. There also seemed to be a special focus on various tiger color mutations (which also don’t occur in the wild). I noticed that at least one of the white tigers had a bald area around its neck as if it had been wearing a collar, so I wondered what was up with that. I also noticed a small building with fenced holding pens housing even more tigers. Hmmm…
- A number of exhibits were unnaturally overcrowded - in particular, the raptors (hawks/eagles) section, foxes and other smaller species. During our visit we noticed an eagle (?) tangled and struggling up in the aviary netting. An employee was informed, who dismissed the situation as the bird “just playing” and did nothing to address the problem. Smaller animals such as beavers and badgers were kept in sparsely-furnished concrete pits with pools of dirty water. I wondered why certain species (especially small furbearing mammals) were kept in such overcrowded conditions. These exhibits looked more like a fur farm than trying to replicate the animals’ natural habitats.
- The outdoor enclosures for some of the smaller species such as monkeys look like a cross between a daycare center and a prison yard - rows of deep concrete-walled pits painted with unnatural, bright pastel colors that were hideous to look at. The layout plan for most of the exhibits is just depressing - just one painted concrete cell after another, each sparsely furnished with a climbing pole or two. There are very few safeguards separating these pits from the viewing public - a child could easily tumble over the low cement barrier walls. The indoor animal enclosures were filthy.
- The single panda we saw was dirty and paced nervously around its paddock, acting like it desperately wanted to get inside its indoor enclosure.
- The enclosures for the elephants and other large mammals are unnatural and depressing - just a series of boxed-in dirt paddocks. They’re a disheartening contrast to the beautiful scenery just outside the zoo.
- A small, dark building in the aquatic mammals section housed a couple dolphins (?) which were kept in a small, dirty pool.
- The walkways aren’t conducive to those in poor physical health, the elderly, or small children. There are a lot of trip hazards and poorly fenced-in areas. The hilly terrain goes up and down a number of inclines which may become slippery during wet weather.
Outside the zoo, it seems that China is fast embracing a more modern age, with new high rises being built up at a fast pace and green energy technology. One can only hope that this more enlightened attitude will eventually carry over into animal welfare and conservation issues. I hope this zoo is considering a major overhaul in the future.
