Shanghai is a city of the future, but there's a wildlife sanctuary here that's definitely worth the trip! 🐾 I visited the Shanghai Wild Animal Park, and it was one of the most memorable experiences in the metropolis. 🔝 Top attraction: Shanghai Wild Animal Park Address: No. 178, Nanliu Road, Pudong New Area, Shanghai Opening hours: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (Mon-Fri), 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM (Sat-Sun) in summer Admission: 165 RMB I appreciate the convenience—it's easy to get there by metro. Take the metro to Zhangjiang High Technology Park Station (Line 2), then transfer to the bus to the zoo. You'll save a ton of time and money! My tips: Visit early in the morning! When it's not too hot, the animals are cheerful, walking around, and you can easily see them. After 12:00 PM, the animals often hide in the shade and become less active. Be sure to feed the alpacas—it's a special treat! 😍 Visit the capybara cafe right inside the park—cuteness and maximum relaxation are guaranteed. 🍫 Food: There are several cafes inside the zoo; snacks are fine for a light snack, or bring your own water. Good to know: Shanghai's summer weather is hot and humid—bring a hat and water. Card payments are accepted, but cash is also helpful. Buy tickets conveniently online at trip.com—you'll definitely avoid getting stuck in line! #ShanghaiWild #ZooLife #TripChina #ShanghaiTips #Ecotourism

Hi everyone! I’m heading to Chongqing in less than two weeks for a solo trip and honestly, my nerves are kicking in. I’ve got Shanghai sorted, but the whole multi-level city layout in Chongqing has me stressed about getting hella lost 😰 Is it worth doing a day trip to Chengdu? Or should I spend the night? My friend visited the Panda base, but spending a whole day at a zoo solo doesn’t sound like my vibe. I’m also eyeing the 3 Natural Bridges trip. Staying at Yummyhill Hostel for one night to hopefully make some friends, then pivoting to hotels because, well, the value is just too good to miss. Any recommendations for getting around? I’m looking to avoid complicated, super touristy traps. I’m into local experiences, novelty cafes, maybe some motorbike rides, and easy adventures like the OMG Heartbeat Park near Shanghai. Help a traveler out! 😊

Lalaport's first overseas store is located in Shanghai, China. It's called "Lalaport Shanghai Jinqiao." And within its grounds is a life-sized Freedom Gundam statue! Of course, it's located outside the shopping mall, so viewing is free. There are also some events where the statue moves slightly: every hour on the hour from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and every 30 minutes from 6:00 PM until 8:30 PM. Furthermore, there's a Gundam Base inside the mall, which seemed to be a gathering place for Chinese Gundam enthusiasts.

During my early October trip to Shanghai, I visited the must-see Wukang Mansion. The weather was so nice and warm that I decided to look for a nearby café, and I discovered a delightful bakery café that I want to share with you! 📍Apoli Ita Bakery 320 Tian Ping Lu, Xujiahui, Xu Hui Qu, Shang Hai Shi, China 200030 (上海市徐汇区天平路320号) From afar, it feels like a European café in Shanghai, or perhaps something you might find in Korea. They had a wide variety of bread! There were so many options that I had a hard time choosing, but the staff kindly recommended their popular items, making it easier to decide. I chose the egg tart, sausage bread, and strawberry cream donut, and the prices were so reasonable that I was genuinely impressed🤤. The seating area was not very spacious, so if you plan to dine in, I recommend avoiding peak hours! I visited around 11 AM and was lucky enough to get a terrace seat. After that, more people started coming in, and there seemed to be a slight waiting time. For drinks, I grabbed a milk tea from the nearby Pae Wang Cha Hee and enjoyed it with my pastries here. This café does not have a restroom, but if you go a bit further down, there’s a free public restroom that’s quite clean. If you’re at Wukang Mansion and urgently need a restroom, this is a good option! 🚩 After leaving the café, head straight down to the left! The restroom is located across from the café in the last photo 🚽.

By the way, there was a small Arsenal team exhibition ⚽ there as well. 5️⃣ Lunch with dumplings 🥟 A small café near the towers (in the Lujiazui area). These are the famous dumplings from Zubarev’s Dumpling Xi Cafe, which many recommend. Honestly, the praise is well-deserved. Very tasty, good portions, and reasonably priced.
