Siberian Tiger Park

Near the entrance to left-bank Harbin's Siberian Tiger Park!

Prices for entry to the Park and for the live animals you can feed the tigers. Only in China! (Note that tickets are actually ¥100, not ¥90.)

I think the "Warm tips" is supposed to read "A Friendly Tip." Oops. The process is as described however, you purchase your tickets before walking through the Tourist Center (really a hall of souvenir shops) to queue for the bus that will drive you through the tigers' paddocks, after which you're dropped off to wander through tunnels that take you through smaller enclosures housing more regular Siberian (also known as Amur or Manchurian) tigers as well as white Siberian tigers, jaguars, ligers, and cougars, after which you exit back at the ticketing area near the Park entrance.

A picture from the tour bus that really doesn't capture how magnificent (or close) these amazing animals are!

Harbin's Siberian Tiger Park is also - somewhat strangely - home to lions as well as Siberian tigers.

These guys were not happy to be behind fences, but I sure was relieved they were! (This is at the start of the pedestrian-friendly enclosures at the Park.) 

As I mentioned above, you can buy and release live fowl (and larger animals, if desired) for the tigers. Here you can see a chicken plummeting to its untimely death...

It was breath-taking how close these two were! It was sad to see them caged, but magical to be so close to them.

I absolutely loved this guy. So still and peaceful.

One of the Park's ligers, a lion/tiger hybrid.
