The three main peaks in Hongshan Forest Zoo, Dahongshan, Xiaohongshan and Niufang Mountain, are strewn at random with green trees. More than 400 kinds of plants, from ferns to tall trees, outline lush mountain scenery. The tall and straight cedars, ginkgo biloba, camphor trees, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, slender magnolia trees and red maple are full of moist, fresh and refreshing air, with lush trees and lush green grass, which have become the "ecological green lungs" of the ancient capital.

Rare animals in the park include white tigers, Asian elephants, giant pandas, seals, chimpanzees, black swans and red-crowned cranes. The animal stadium has a large area and complete facilities. The combination of cage culture and stocking is not only beneficial to the protection of animals, but also convenient for sightseeing.

Birds are the earliest wild animals in Hongshan Forest Zoo. The main species are grey magpie, blue magpie, mountain dove, black turtledove, Chinese Pulsatilla and parrot. The park is shaded by trees and covered with green grass, which is an ideal place for wild birds to inhabit and multiply.

Cedar, ginkgo, magnolia, camphor, Metasequoia, red maple, etc. Form a lush mountain landscape and form a unique feature of the forest zoo.

The unique ecological and natural environment is rare in the city, and the historical and humanistic connotation is the icing on the cake. Hongshan Forest Zoo not only strengthens the construction of environmental protection, but also attaches great importance to the construction of human landscape. On May 1 day, 2004, the "magnificent pavilion" rebuilt at a cost of 3 million yuan stood tall at the top of Dahongshan. It is the only six dynasties pavilion in Nanjing at present. The spectacular pavilion is three stories high. Entering the exhibition hall, the hanging calligraphy and painting, sculpture and calligraphy originated from the Six Dynasties, and the charm of ancient style came to my face. Looking at the spectacular pavilion, you can see the beautiful scenery of Zhongshan and the sparkling scenery of Xuanwu Lake. Visitors can not only experience the culture of the Six Dynasties, but also enjoy tea and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jinling. Hongshan Forest Zoo is now under the Nanjing Bureau of Landscape Architecture.

In the management mode, the combination of tradition and modernity, and the combination of caging and stocking make tourists feel as if they are in nature, which is not only conducive to protecting animals, but also convenient for tourists to watch.
