Shanghai Zoological Park (simplified Chinese: 上海动物园; traditional Chinese: 上海動物園; pinyin: Shànghǎi Dòngwùyuán), or commonly Shanghai Zoo in short, is one of the two main zoos in Shanghai. It is located near the township of Hongqiao (formerly Hung-Jao) and is administratively in Changning District. Shanghai Zoo was formerly known as " Xijiao Park" (or "Western Suburbs Park") (simplified Chinese: 西郊公园; traditional Chinese: 西郊公園; pinyin: Xījiāo Gōngyuán), which is still a common name used locally for the zoo.
