@yuantongsi
Some very useful ideas & suggestions there. Thank you.
Didn't realise you could get a visa via Chinese Mum.

The "exit visa option, just to confirm what you're saying:
He leaves China on Chinese passport with that visa, then enters UK on British passport, right? On return (say form a holiday to visit grandparents), he leaves on British passport and can get into China on normal passport (ie without a visa in British passport)?

I've applied for a British passport for our Chinese-born son (I'm British, wife is Chinese). Once we get it (fingers crossed) I will need to get a visa of some sort in it. I'm on a teacher's Residents Visa. My school (after PSB enquiry) says a "family" visa, linked to mine, is possible BUT I have to revoke my child's Chinese citizenship (China views all children born in China as Chinese). To do that, however, they are asking for his Chinese ID or hukou registration documents, but we never even tried to get those. Do I really have to register him in order to revoke his registration?? Anyone jumped through this silly hoop before??

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.
