The zoo itself has fallen into quite a bit of disrepair although moves have been made to improove the facilities and accomodation of the animals. The antiquated amusment park which used to be located in the west end of the park has long gone. I miss the creaking ferris wheel (The was one in Shanghai zoo as well) The is a large modern western aquarium at the rear of the zoo. On it's first day open many of the exhibits dissapeared and became supper. The main attraction are the Pandas and are always worth a visit. It's worth after seeing them to walk to the Purple Bamboo Park and people watch. Nice authentic cuisine restaurant here.
