Should we go?

We've seen most of the major tourist attractions and needed something to do so we went to the internet to find something. This was one of the options. It sounded intriguing at first and then we read the last part. Do you think we should go? That is the problem here. Aside from your day to day activities of school, work, school activities, social commitments (which should be enough)there is not much to do. Unless you want to shop everyday. Even our driver complains that there is "no play in Shanghai, only shopping." It is cold right now so getting out and exploring is kinda hard and even then you fight the ever present crowds of people. Many of the people we know have gone home for the holidays and with the kids out of school and Mark off work we are a bit stir crazy and maybe the reason for considering traumatizing our children with this park.



11. Shanghai Wild Animal Park (Shanghai Yesheng Dongwuyuan)
Description: drive-through "safari" wildlife park with ability to purchase live prey to feed animals
Address: Nan Hui San Zao Zhen, Pudong (near Pudong International Airport)
Opening hours: daily 8am-5pm
Admission: 80rmb, 40rmb for kids under 1.2m (4 ft)
Getting there: no metro stops
Comments: visitors take buses through the park. Children who may not be able to handle the sight of live chickens being tossed to hungry tigers may prefer the Shanghai Zoo (see next entry).
