    This was my second visit to Shenzhen Safari Park in over ten years. Firstly, there seemed to be fewer visitors, and secondly, the park seemed smaller (though actually the same size, perhaps not as captivating as my first visit). The animals weren't particularly special; I quickly walked through, fed the pelicans and zebras, and only briefly toured the predator enclosure. The only difference this time was the addition of some entertainment shows (they might have existed before, but I hadn't noticed). There was a circus performance, half an hour long, not spectacular but not boring either; the African dances were quite energetic. The mermaid show was crowded due to the limited and small viewing windows, and couldn't compare to similar shows at Mission Hills Ocean World. I expected the animal extravaganza to be grand, with many animals, especially predators. However, there were few predators, and even fewer mammals; it mainly consisted of various birds taking turns soaring around. Overall, it was okay for children.

    Amazing and huge aquarium with rare species of fishes. We love the mermaid show at the end of the area. Good for those who love undersea water creatures. Need to spend at least 2-4 hours, if u have small kids, do catch the mermaid show in time.

    A trip here absolutely requires a ride on the tram. Hop on the vintage tram and admire the century-old buildings along the way; it feels like stepping back into the Republican era, a truly immersive historical experience. The ride takes 20 minutes, and the second floor offers an even better view.
