Exchange with China

Building on the friendship province-prefecture relationship between Wakayama Prefecture and Shandong Province,
Adventure World has been actively involved in various exchanges with China for over 30 years.

  • We received 18 animals of 4 species, including red pandas, from Jinan Zoo in Shandong Province, and in return, our park sent 13 animals of 6 species, including elephants and giraffes.

  • Since 1994, Chengdu Zoo and the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding have sent over 70 staff members to us for animal care and breeding research.

  • In 1996, we conducted training at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding to acquire new skills and knowledge. This helped us deepen our exchanges with local experts and build an effective relationship for future breeding research.

  • We've also built a great relationship with the Chinese Embassy in Japan and the Chinese Consulate-General in Osaka. When a panda cub is born at our park, we even receive congratulatory messages on their official social media from the Chinese Consulate-General in Osaka, which helps us deepen our exchanges even more!
