Shanghai Zhujiajiao Wildlife Wetland Park is a good place to relax and interact with nature. Tourists can sit on the grassy field and watch the wild animals living at the park. It is very difficult to find such a place so close to nature in a modern city like Shanghai. The park has the largest swan lake in China and the largest lotus pond in Shanghai. There are villas for travelers to stay at around the lake. If you stay there on a summer night, you can see hundreds of fireflies shimmering above the water's surface. China Highlights provides customized day trips to the park and to Zhujiajiao Water Town.
