The Natural Kingdom – A Panoramic View of Life Diversity
The natural charm of the Shanghai Wild Animal Park lies in its efforts to simulate the native environment and showcase the authentic behavior of animals.
- Enter the Predator Zone – The Call of the Wild: This is the soul of the park's experience. Board a specially designed feeding vehicle or sightseeing bus and drive into simulated habitats such as the open African savanna and Asian forests. Witness firsthand the majestic power of the Siberian tiger, the relaxed family antics of the African lions, the endearing clumsiness of the bears, and the swift movements of the cheetahs. As the feeding vehicle passes by, the moment a predator approaches the window delivers an unparalleled visual impact and a raw, awe-inspiring experience.

- Habitat creation: The park focuses on vegetation greening and habitat enrichment, striving to provide animals with a living environment close to nature, and also creating an immersive "jungle adventure" atmosphere for visitors.
Humanistic Interaction – A Bridge Between Science and Fun
This place not only showcases animals, but also aims to impart knowledge, inspire compassion, and build a bridge for emotional connection between humans and animals.
- International Circus Theatre: A modern theatre that can accommodate thousands of people, featuring daily spectacular circus performances that combine animal behavior displays, acrobatics, and dance. Galloping horses, saluting elephants, parrots doing math... experience the intelligence of animals and the ingenuity of human training amidst laughter and joy.
- Science Education and Animal Behavior Demonstrations: The park features several scheduled science education sessions and animal behavior demonstrations, such as tiger hunting demonstrations, elephant lessons, and sea lion shows. Trainers will explain animal habits, conservation knowledge, and demonstrate natural behaviors, making the activities highly educational.
- Interactive Animal Park: This is a paradise for families with children. Children can hand-feed gentle animals such as alpacas and goats, or see newborn baby animals in the nursery, fostering love and responsibility.
- Themed pavilions and sculptures: The park is dotted with whimsical animal-themed sculptures and science information signs. Even the rest pavilions and restaurants incorporate animal elements, reflecting the ingenuity and humanistic care in the design.
Photography Tips:
> - Shooting from a moving vehicle: Be sure to sit by the window, use a telephoto lens, turn off the flash, and capture the animals in their most natural poses. When shooting from a moving vehicle, be sure to increase the shutter speed.
- Prime shooting spots in the pedestrian area: In front of the glass curtain wall of the Giant Panda Pavilion, you can take clear close-up shots; by the Swan Lake, you can photograph birds with the reflection on the water as a background.
> - Shooting at the performance venue: The lighting in circus performances is complex and the movements are fast, so it is recommended to use a camera with high sensitivity and fast focusing capabilities.
> - Pet Interaction: Crouch down to be at eye level with children and small animals to capture heartwarming moments.
