The East Bus Station and Airport Metro stations have large maps up showing all the lines being built and those that are planned for later (in transparent). I was surprised to see a station being considered for the end of my street (off XueFuLu). Let's hope it materialises someday.
My neighbours have taken to defacing any new warning signs about the water rationing that are posted up on our communal noticeboard. I guess it's the Chinese way of registering anger whilst remaining anonymous.
Yeah, sorry. As you face KFC go right (north) and follow the small road bearing left which goes around the back of Walmart. You'll see 2-3 shops almost immediately. Can't vouch for the selection/quality.
No results found.

Price is now 100RMB for adults, 70RMB for children.
Some of the animal areas are as far as 10+km from the entrance - you can buy a hop on/off bus ticket for 60RMB per person, but there are also clearly marked walkways for those who are full of energy.
Everything inside is pretty expensive - consider bringing a picnic.
Many of the animals are in large outdoor enclosures. Some are caged. The park calls itself a safari, but this is not a "drive your car amongst the animals" thing. It's more like a decent western zoo.
There are places to handle/be photographed with animals, for a fee. Also, some kids amusements.
The animal show is free, but a waste of time (unless you love watching goats, sheep, pigs, horses etc!!).
Good labelling i English thorughout.

Still worth a visit, especially for the arhat statues. The 11am vegetarian lunch is basic, but still only 10RMB. Free entry.

Prague cafe used to be my favourite cafe in Wenlin area but I went for lunch there today after a few months away and it's really gone downhill (new owners?). The menu was a photocopy, the food was lacklustre and much more expensive than before, the decor was dull and the service so-so. I won't be back there anytime soon.

It's open! And it's free. And its terrific for kids.
The museum is surprisingly interactive (although only 2/3 of the attractions are working) and modern (VR, simulators, touchscreens, etc). Sadly, no English on any of the displays but the fun is in trying to work out how the exhibits work and what they are supposed to be showing. Well worth a visit.

Posted byYou're right, it does say domestic tourists (missed that), but I'm still surprised and skeptical.

Posted byWe tried it recently to ask why our neighbourhood has had no running water after 6 months, despite the recent rains. They said it wasn't anything to do with them and hung up.
