Things to do in Shanghai, Shanghai Region: The Best Nature & Parks
The largest city in China is also its most cosmopolitan, offering visitors a chance to experience the past, present, and future all at once. The Huangpu River splits Shanghai into two districts: Pudong and Puxi. The Pudong skyline looks like it was ripped from the Jetsons, with the bulbous Oriental Pearl TV and Radio Tower looking a bit like a two headed lollipop. On the Puxi side, you can walk the Bund riverside district to get a taste of old Shanghai.

The evening river cruise is one of the most gorgeous city lights tours I've ever been on. The buildings are all lit up, and many have video shows projected on them. We paid a bit extra on our boat to sit in the VIP area (50 RMB, $7) which included cordoned off places to sit and a beer or hot chocolate.

I live in Jinqiao and am so excited to find Gokurakuyu. It's a Japanese-style bath house (very similar to a Korean jimjilbang and sauna but without the super-steamy rooms). There's a great co-ed section where you go in and out of warm and hot rooms (there's a cool room, too), a snack bar and restaurant, massage area, games area, and single-gender saunas with lots of pools of varying temperatures. Allocate 4-5 hours to visit and leave feeling refreshed and detoxed!

Delightfully spacious and well-lit aquarium filled with a great selection of Asian fish. The highlight is the impressive tunnels where you under the tanks and surrounded by fish.

I had left visiting the aquarium till the end of my visit to Shanghai, but I am glad I made the effort to go to it. The adult cost is 160 yuan which is about $24. There is a senior discount for 90 yuan if you show proof of age - I believe you gave to be 60. The aquarium is set on a number of floors and you move by escalator. The highlight of the visit is when you travel under the water through a clear tunnel allowing you to see a variety of sharks, manta rays and a variety of other sea creatures swimming overhead. This area has a moving walkway, so you are transported at a gentle pace. The water here is not river water but a mix of sea water and freshwater. There is something for everyone and, at the end of the tour there is a fast food restaurant if you feel the need for sustenance. A worthwhile visit!

Big and large zoo with lots of animals (yes lots mean maybe > 20 tigers, > 10 ++ lions etc. Best part is the open area whereby visitors sit inside the bus that rides thru the open area wild animal zone, where animal run freely. Nice, well maintained, well sign board, clean and modern toilets...definitely recommended
8. Century Park

This park is reachable by subway to Century Park station. The park was designed by a British landscaping firm and blend Chinese and Japanese styles in its layout. There is an entrance fee of RMB 10 which I feel is a very small price to pay for such huge park. There is a lake where boats are available for rental. The park is huge to walk but if you prefer a more relax method then there are pedal cars available for rental. Take time to explore the various sections of the park at your pace and there are kiosks located in many spots around the park where you can take a break or have some refreshment. There are many spots to take photos of the park and also the surrounding skyscrapers with Shanghai's 3 famous towers in the background.
