In my quest to see a Panda, we ventured an hour by the metro from Shanghai to the Pudong New Area. A short Didi ride took us from the station to the Animal Park.
It wasn’t too busy at all so very easy to get up close to see the animals with an uninterrupted view. It’s actually very similar in layout to Dubbo Western Plains Zoo with open-style enclosures. Over 10 000 animals and 200 species so plenty to look at. The ticket we had covered a bus ride through some open enclosures, not quite like an African safari…more the no.271 from Belrose to the city…but we did get close to some wildlife!
A highlight was the orangutan who had a sense of humour and as he strolled across the high ropes high above a pedestrian walkway and decided to relieve his bladder. I suspect he knows what he’s doing.
And I got to see a Panda 🙂
