๐ผ Taiwan’s Cutest National Treasure Just Got Even Better!
Located inside the Taipei Zoo, the Giant Panda House is one of Taiwan’s most iconic attractions.

In 2025, the exhibit continues to evolve—balancing education, fun, and heart-melting panda moments.
Whether you're traveling with kids or you're a panda-obsessed adult (no shame ๐พ), this experience belongs on your Taiwan itinerary.
๐ Inside the Panda Palace: What’s New & What to Expect
๐ง Upgraded Climate
Zones & Enclosures
The habitats now have enhanced air control—keeping a steady 24–26°C in
summer and cool, dry winters that pandas love. Watch them roam between lush
outdoor gardens and chill indoor spaces, often with the door open so
they can choose their own comfort zone.
๐ท Photo Tip: Indoor zones have low lighting for panda comfort—adjust your camera settings or use Night Mode.
๐ Naturalistic
Landscaping
The outdoor area mimics the pandas’ native Sichuan habitat—complete with a
waterfall, bamboo groves, and climbing structures. Yuan Zai is often seen
napping on platforms or doing adorable barrel rolls!
