A hotel that calls itself the world's
first "polar bear hotel" has opened in northeastern China. The Polar
Bear Hotel is part of the Harbin Polarland amusement park in Harbin, the
capital and largest city in Heilongjiang province.
It opened earlier this month and promised
that guests would be able to see live polar bears from all 21 guest rooms. "Whether
you're eating, playing or sleeping, polar bears will keep you company,"
Harbin Polarland said in a statement on the WeChat messenger service. Photos
and videos from Chinese state media showed people watching two polar bears in a
closed, indoor space with artificial ice and small pools of water.
Yang Liu is a spokeswoman for Harbin
Polarland. She told Reuters that the indoor area is the only part of the bears'
total living space. She said they are also let outdoors when temperature and
air quality permits. Liu added there has been "very high" interest in
staying at the hotel, where rooms cost from about $290 to $351 a night.
But some animal rights activists have
criticized the hotel. Jason Baker is vice president at animal rights group
PETA. He told Reuters, "Polar bears belong in the Arctic, not in zoos or
glass boxes in aquariums — and certainly not in hotels." He added, "Polar
bears are active for up to 18 hours a day in nature, roaming home ranges that
can scan thousands of miles, where they enjoy a real life."
In 2016, a shopping center in the southern
city of Guangzhou drew worldwide criticism after videos showed a polar bear
named Pizza lying on her side in a glass-walled area.
Harbin Polarland was established in 2005.
It calls itself the world's first polar performing arts amusement park.
