More than 300 animals are available for tourist viewing, including tigers, lions, bears, peacocks, zebras, snow leopards, sika deer and alpacas, making it the region's first and largest zoological garden.

"It is a scenic spot integrating sightseeing, popular science education and plateau animal protection," said Tenzin Thubten, deputy manager of the Chushul Zoo Co, which manages zoo operations.
"At the same time, we have operated an animal rescue station since 2017, with a total of 352 animals successfully rescued. The survival rate of rescued animals is above 85 per cent," he said.

"Additionally, we also promote the work of animal domestication and breeding, and we have successfully bred 23 animals, including tigers, lions, camels and alpacas."
