Shanghai Zoo

Leafy former golf course with giant pandas and rare Chinese wildlife

Address 2381 Hongqiao Road, Changning District
Opening Hours 6:30 am – 5:30 pm, daily

A large, leafy zoo on the western edge of the city near Hongqiao airport. Worth the trip if you have kids or an interest in Chinese wildlife: giant pandas, golden snub-nosed monkeys, red pandas, and the rare South China tiger. The grounds are pleasant in their own right — a former golf course laid out under the colonial regime.
