Pudong has a few redeeming features that can't be topped. Check out here top 5 Things you can do in Pudong that you can't do in Puxi.

See Uncaged Animals

The Shanghai Wild Animal Park has had its fair share of bad press. In 1999 a bus driver lost his life (but won a Darwin award) when he clambered out of his broken down bus only to be devoured by tigers. Since then, the press flooding in has been mainly good. Thankfully, the park no longer dishes out live chickens to tourists wanting to hand feed their voracious tigers, so animal lovers are most welcome.
