The Siberian Tiger Park saw the birth of 170 tiger cubs in 2017, meaning the total number of Siberian tigers in the park is now 1,300, according to information from the committee of the Siberian Tiger Park.

Covering an area measuring 1.44 square kilometers, the Siberian Tiger Park is located to the north of Songhua River.

It is the world's largest Siberian tiger breeding center and home to an endangered animal.

The park aims to allow the tigers to enjoy an environment as close as possible to what they would experience in the wild; and eventually return to the wild.

The park is also good for sightseeing, scientific research and daytrips.
