I went there without much expectation because I chose the zoo instead of Disneyland because it was sold out, but I experienced the VIP safari and was very satisfied with the children and adults. I heard that it is one of the best zoos in China, but when I actually saw it, I was surprised by its size.

If it is your first time to Shanghai, you must ride the Huangpu River Cruise. The night view is really beautiful, and it seems to be one of the best in Asia. I was a bit distracted by Chinese group tours when I rode it, but it was a really good ride.

It's about a 15-minute taxi ride from Yuyuan Garden! It was easy to exchange for a ticket! The ride didn't end quickly, so I was able to relax on the boat, and it was cheap! The scenery was great, and I was able to take lots of great photos! ^ ^
