Qinhuangdao Wildlife Park (Chinese: 秦皇岛野生动物园; pinyin: Qínhuángdǎo yěshēng dòngwùyuán) is a safari park located in Qinhuangdao in northeast China. It was opened in 1995 and is the country's second largest wildlife park. The park covers an area of some 5,000 acres and is home to roughly 7,000 animals of more than 150 species, including tigers, white tigers, lions, bears, elephants, and a range of birds. Visitors can travel through the park by foot, car or train.
On 12 August 2015, a female tourist was killed when she was attacked by one of the tigers while driving through the safari park. She was attacked when she left her car, which is against park rules.[1]
