Shanghai Zoo

Why go

The landscape is part of the appeal: lawns, trees and water soften the transition between animal areas. Chinese wildlife, including pandas, sits alongside animals from other regions. The grounds retain elements of an earlier golf-course layout, giving the visit the character of a large park as well as a zoo.

What to look for

• Chinese wildlife includes pandas among the zoo’s animal displays.
• Swan Lake’s reeds and trees create a waterside setting for birds.
• Broad lawns retain elements of the site’s former golf-course landscape.

Useful to know

• Give the zoo its own daytime visit rather than fitting it between brief skyline stops.
• Use the zoo map to select animal areas and account for the spread of the grounds.
