Business in the zoo is bleak at present.
Shenyang Zoo is located in Wanquan Street, Dadong District, covering an area of 620,000 square meters, formerly known as Wanquan Park. 1906 was built by a gentleman named Shen. After the liberation of Shenyang, the park construction developed rapidly. 1973 was converted into a zoo, and the large-scale precious animals in Zhongshan Park and Labor Park were relocated, and the Panda Pavilion, Giraffe Pavilion, Waterfowl Lake, Lion Tiger Mountain and Monkey Mountain with modern artistic modeling were built. More than 30 species of animals/kloc-0 were exhibited in the park, including national first-class protected animals and rare animals from abroad, such as Dongbei tiger, panda, puma, Chilean turkey, leopard and baboon donated by Japan.
Rare animals once attracted thousands of Shenyang people to visit. In the highest year, the zoo received 1.62 million visitors. However, since the animals were moved out of the park, the zoo has not undergone a large-scale transformation and has to struggle in bleak management.
The renovation plan has repeatedly run aground.
The renovation of Shenyang Zoo has touched people's hearts. In the planning of dadong district government, the transformation of the zoo has always followed a purpose-the existing green space and mass leisure places will not change, and citizens can enjoy more green space, the morning exercise square transformed from the original animal stadium, the large water landscape fountain, the night light corridor and other facilities.
However, the transformation of the zoo is full of twists and turns. First, foreign investors are prepared to invest in the construction of a Disney-style amusement park integrating entertainment, fitness and leisure; Later, foreign investors are going to invest in Wanquan Recreation Area to build the zoo into a folk cultural landscape in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and then introduce a large-scale amusement project that integrates knowledge, interest and entertainment. However, due to financial problems, the renovation plan has been stranded.
Target finalized "International Family Entertainment Center"
The appearance of S·TZ Entertainment Park Group Co., Ltd. in the United States has made a turning point in the transformation of the zoo, and the investment of 200 million US dollars is even more eye-catching.
The International Family Entertainment Center, which will open at the end of the year, will present a colorful world of scenic spots for people. Yesterday, the reporter learned about the park renovation plan of American investors: a large-scale "roller coaster" will be built in the park to let tourists experience thrills; The planet patrol car placed in a 2,700-square-meter building will lead tourists to explore interactively in the future space; A scenic spot depicting human physiology will make visitors know more about physiology, biology and human science; The computer world will let visitors experience the internal operation of computers; The Natural Science Center will display exhibitions on zoology, botany, oceanography and resource protection.
Of course, the international food center in the park will also let visitors taste the food and drinks from all over the world. (Qin Li, Zhao Guoqing)
