Over 6,000 animals of over 500 species are on show. The present place of Beijing Zoo was originally the imperial garden in the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644). Various plants and trees were cultivated and animals were raised here in the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911). After the establishing of the People's Republic of China, the site was renovated and was later well known as the West Suburban Park. In 1955, the name was turned into Beijing Zoo and the range of animals was increased. The visits by the heads of states have brought some of the animals as gifts.
