(Shanghai Dongwuyuan; www.shanghaizoo.cn; 2381 Hongqiao Rd; 2381 adult/child Y40/20; 6.30am-6pm Apr-Sep, 6.30am-5pm Oct-Mar; ; Shanghai Zoo) As Chinese zoos go, this is just about the best there is, and it makes for a good day out for those who have kids in tow. There’s a decent selection of beasts – from woolly twin-humped Bactrian camels to spindly legged giraffes, lots of different monkeys and giant pandas – but some of the enclosures they’re housed in are less than ideal.

The Shanghai folk flock here to enjoy one of the city’s most picturesque and well-tended acreages of green grass. Picnic-goers dive onto the lawns for a spot of sun, while electric tour buggies (trips Y15) whirr along shaded paths every 10 to 15 minutes. The whole menagerie is navigable on foot with a map from the information kiosk at the entrance or by following the signs.

Not far from the zoo, in the grounds of the Cypress Hotel, is the former Sassoon Mansion (see boxed text, Click here), now building 1. You can take a peek at the exterior, but there’s not much left to see.
