Just as its name implies, this place boasts hundred kinds of birds. And what is more attractive are some rare species, like the Brown eared-pheasant, Green peafowl and red-crowned crane. Bai Niao Yaun also has some guests from foreign countries, such as the Black swan and Australian ostrich.

Hongluohu Bird Island

Like Bai Niao Yuan, this place also has many rare birds. But it has more facilities and beautiful sceneries. People can get up close and personal with waterfowls by sitting in a boat, have delicious meals in the waterside restaurant and learn more about these flighty creatures in conservatories.
