Despite being one of China’s biggest metropolises, Shanghai has many delightful surprises in store for nature and animal lovers. If you fall under this category, here are three captivating attractions you should consider checking out during your visit to this city.

Shanghai Zoo

Pretty much every major city in China is home to a remarkable zoo, but Shanghai Zoo is truly one for the books. With 6,000 animals on its grounds, including native species such as giant pandas and South China tigers, this zoo offers a memorable experience for visitors of all ages. Swan Lake adds to its charm, and it’s a perfect place to observe a diverse array of bird species.

Shanghai Ocean Aquarium

If you’re in the mood to dive into the mesmerizing marine world while in Shanghai, this aquarium is just the thing you need. Its immersive tunnel is a sight to behold, and it will take you on a visual journey through coral reefs and a thrilling shark cove – only some of the exotic marine creatures you’ll get to see during your visit.

Shanghai Wild Animal Park

Shanghai Wild Animal Park is an ideal destination if you’re in the mood for immersive animal encounters. Take a bus tour around the park for an up-close look at some of its wildest species, including tigers, rhinos, bears, and zebras.

If you’re an animal lover who also has a hobby of traveling, then you know how amazing it is when you can combine your two passions into one by visiting destinations with special, animal-related experiences. If that sounds perfect to you, here are a few destinations we recommend.

Isla Martillo, Argentina

Close your eyes and picture an island overflowing with penguins. Sound like a dream? Well, if you visit Isla Martillo in Argentina between the months of October and April, you’ll be able to make this dream come true. These penguins are even calm and friendly to humans.

Aoshima, Japan

Japan is known for loving cats—after all, it is the home of Hello Kitty—and, indeed, it is a great place to go if you’re a cat lover. Aoshima is an island where the cats outnumber the people six to one, meaning you’re guaranteed to have a kitty encounter if you go.

Sydney, Australia

Why go to Sea World when you can go whale watching in Sydney Australia where, from May to November, you can observe the migration of wild humpback whales as they leave Antarctica for Australia to have their babies. It’s an out-of-this-world experience, and plus you can be confident these whales are leaving out their lives in nature and peace as opposed to captivity.

The seaside city of Veracruz in east-central Mexico is a hidden gem of the country. Full of stunning architecture, beaches, and cultural attractions, Veracruz has a little something for everyone. If you are an animal or water lover, there is one attraction that you simply cannot leave this city without seeing: the Veracruz Aquarium.

Opened in 1992, the Veracruz Aquarium has grown to become the most important aquarium in all of Mexico. From sea life native to the waters of the Gulf of Mexico just a few miles from the aquarium to native Mexican freshwater species, this aquarium does a great job showing off the best of the country.

Of particular interest is the aquarium’s recreation of the Los Txultas rainforest area, where you will find freshwater fish alongside terrestrial animals such as boa constrictors and macaws!

While the Veracruz Aquarium does focus on native fauna, don’t worry if you are looking for exhibitions that show off something a little more exotic. One of the coolest shark exhibitions you will find anywhere shows off tiger, reef, and nurse sharks that inhabit the world’s oceans.

Humboldt penguins and manatees are two more of the star attractions of one of Latin America’s best aquariums and a must-see spot on your next trip to Veracruz.

Run, don’t walk to this fantastic exhibition of the best that our world’s lakes, rivers, and seas have to offer!

Atlanta, Georgia is the southeastern U.S.’s biggest city and a tourist hotspot thanks to all that it has to offer. While there are all kinds of things to do in Atlanta, animal lovers will find themselves particularly at home in this city thanks to the attractions it offers up. These two Atlanta destinations are a must-visit for animal lovers and proof that Atlanta is right for you!

Georgia Aquarium

Completed in 2005, the Georgia Aquarium in downtown Atlanta is the third-largest aquarium in the world. Containing collections of both freshwater and saltwater species, the aquarium hosts fauna from all of the world’s seas and from North America’s freshwater areas. Whether you love river otters, sharks, dolphins, or rays, the Georgia Aquarium is a can’t-miss destination if you love animals.

Zoo Atlanta

While the Georgia Aquarium is a must-see destination for marine life, Zoo Atlanta is great if you are looking to admire terrestrial animals. Hosted in the Grant Park neighborhood, this zoo has undergone a revitalization in recent years and is now one of the most impressive of its class in the region. African and Asian animals are given special attention here, with the zoo hosting beloved creatures from these regions such as giant pandas and elephants.

If you’re looking to see penguins in the wild and in person, here are three unexpected places where you can also travel to check them out.

Cape Town, South Africa

Yep, that’s right — you can find penguins in Africa if you travel to Cape Town! This world-famous city is the home of penguin colonies on several of its beautiful beaches, which provide an almost unbelievable sight for tourists to see.

Tierra del Fuego, Argentina

You might think more about wine and steak when you think about Argentina, but by traveling to the southernmost tip of this South American country, you will be able to come face-to-face with Magellanic penguins, a species native to the region.

ISLA DE PINGÜINOS (Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego) . Una de las excursiones que se puede hacer es la de ir a ver pingüinos. Una sola es la empresa que te permite bajar a caminar entre ellos (@piratour ) La mayoría de las excursiones son hacer desde Ushuaia a la Isla en alguna embarcación (4hs aprox de navegación), y la vuelta en bus desde Estancia Harberton o en la misma embarcación (4hs más!). Si podes, mí recomendación es hacer al menos una parte por tierra; incluso si podes, hacer como nosotros, que fuimos por nuestra cuenta y nos subimos a la lancha ahí mismo. Mí consejo? Habla antes con Piratour para asegurarte tener lugar. La isla tiene una capacidad de 20 personas máximo por grupo (se determina está cantidad después de un estudio que determina es un número que no debería afectar la vida de los pingüinos allí)!! A nosotros nos pasó que ya estaba completo, pero los chicos muy buena onda, nos dejaron ir en la lancha (la capacidad es de 30pax) y verlos desde arriba de la lancha. Después, por esas cosas de la vida, algunos de los que estaban en el tour tenían tanto frío que se volvieron unos minutos antes, dejando lugar en la isla para que podamos bajar a caminar unos minutos. Debo admitir que desde la lancha vimos un montón! Se te acercan, son curiosos y se mueven bastante juntos. Los ves nadar, rascarse, sacudirse, jugar. Lo que tiene de bueno bajar, es que podes ver otras dos especies de pingüinos que desde la costa es difícil ver: los papua, y una pareja de pingüino rey que son los únicos que hay en la zona! Una excursión que es muy divertida y recomiendo mucho hacerla con Piratour! Fabián y André, ambos manejan las lanchas que salen de la Estancia, unos genios! Para quedarse charlando un rato. . . #estanciaargentina #pinguino #isla #pinguinera #pinguinosargentinos #fauna #faunalibre #faunaargentina #argentina #naturaleza #natural #turismo #turismonacionar #turismoresponsable

Melbourne, Australia

It might seem hard to believe, but you can actually find penguins lounging on the beaches of Australia’s southern coast as well. Fairy penguins, a small and extremely cute species, are particularly numerous in the natural reserves and islands near the city of Melbourne.

Do you find yourself bored at home and wishing to travel while waiting for the global COVID-19 pandemic to end and life to go back to normal? I certainly do, but I try to fill the time planning my next trips and making virtual visits to snap myself out of the routine of daily life.

One of my favorite discoveries lately has been a selection of American aquariums that offer up different types of virtual visits! These are some of my favorites.

New England Aquarium

The New England Aquarium in Boston provides a page full of at-home visits and activities to enjoy and learn. You’ll find visits to animal habitats where you’ll be able to watch recorded feeding sessions where you can learn tons about the wide variety of marine life found in this excellent aquarium. 

Georgia Aquarium

Do you like live webcams of animals? If so, the Georgia Aquarium’s extensive collection of webcams of some of its favorite animals in their aquarium habitats is a great choice for a home visit. My favorite is the sea otter cam, and you’ll also find others like a piranha and a beluga whale cam.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

The Monterey Bay Aquarium dishes up all kinds of sea life content on its fantastic website. Here, you will find a selection of live cams of different animal habitats as well as narrated feeding sessions every single weekday

Are you one of the many dog lovers who love to travel? If so, there is a unique hotel in rural Idaho that you absolutely must visit if you are ever planning to visit the region.

If you are driving on US Route 95 just outside of the small town of Cottonwood, you will come face to face with a giant beagle. That’s right, a dog is the most interesting landmark in this town of just 900 people.

And lucky enough for you, this beagle is more than just a statue: it’s a fully-functioning bed and breakfast that you can stay in!

The Dog Bark Park Inn contains only one room and gives about as personal of an experience as a dog lover can get. You’ll be staying inside of “Sweet Willy,” a cute beagle that is the home to a queen bed and two twin futon beds, making it perfect for a stay with your partner or your family. The dog-themed decoration of the interior of the bed and breakfast is absolute heaven for canine lovers. 

Located conveniently near Hells Canyon of the Snake River National Recreation Area and also halfway between two of the United States’ most famous national parks, Yellowstone and Glacier, nature lovers will find plenty to do nearby.

Be sure to call the property well in advance of the dates you’d like to stay, as demand is high and the B&B’s one room means that availability is limited! If you are lucky enough to stay here, it will certainly be an experience that you’ll never forget.

Here are three American zoos which offer fantastic virtual visits.

Houston Zoo

The Houston Zoo has a wide variety of live cameras which you can use to see some of its favorite animals from 7 am to 7 pm Central Time. Giraffes, gorillas, flamingos, and more can be observed throughout the day for a fun at-home experience.

The Azores is an archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, just a little closer to Europe than to the Americas. Belonging to Portugal, natural wonders abound in the Azores’ nine islands, where volcanoes, vegetation, sea, and geothermal influences unite.

Animal lovers will also be at home in the Azores, as it is home of arguably the best whale watching on the planet.

The main island of Sao Miguel is the whale watching starting point if you visit the Azores. From here, boats leave from two main places: the capital city of Ponta Delgada and the smaller village of Vila Franca.

Either is a fine option for whale watching, as these magnificent creatures can be found in plentiful numbers around the island in all places, especially from the months of April to October.

Half-day trips are the usual choice for those who are going whale watching in the Azores, with morning and afternoon trips having an equally good chance of seeing these magnificent animals.

Sperm whales are the main species which can be found around the Azores, as these giant beasts enjoy feeding on the plentiful amount of squid and other seafood which can be found in the waters around the Azores.

Rarely, migrating whales like blue whales, fin whales, and humpback whales can be spotted as they migrate to other places.

In short, any animal lover would be crazy not to go on a whale watching tour while visiting the Azores. Be sure to sign up for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see one of the world’s most majestic creatures.

Debo admitir que desde la lancha vimos un montón! Se te acercan, son curiosos y se mueven bastante juntos. Los ves nadar, rascarse, sacudirse, jugar. Lo que tiene de bueno bajar, es que podes ver otras dos especies de pingüinos que desde la costa es difícil ver: los papua, y una pareja de pingüino rey que son los únicos que hay en la zona! Una excursión que es muy divertida y recomiendo mucho hacerla con Piratour! Fabián y André, ambos manejan las lanchas que salen de la Estancia, unos genios! Para quedarse charlando un rato. . . #estanciaargentina #pinguino #isla #pinguinera #pinguinosargentinos #fauna #faunalibre #faunaargentina #argentina #naturaleza #natural #turismo #turismonacionar #turismoresponsable

Melbourne, Australia

It might seem hard to believe, but you can actually find penguins lounging on the beaches of Australia’s southern coast as well. Fairy penguins, a small and extremely cute species, are particularly numerous in the natural reserves and islands near the city of Melbourne.

Do you find yourself bored at home and wishing to travel while waiting for the global COVID-19 pandemic to end and life to go back to normal? I certainly do, but I try to fill the time planning my next trips and making virtual visits to snap myself out of the routine of daily life.

One of my favorite discoveries lately has been a selection of American aquariums that offer up different types of virtual visits! These are some of my favorites.

New England Aquarium

The New England Aquarium in Boston provides a page full of at-home visits and activities to enjoy and learn. You’ll find visits to animal habitats where you’ll be able to watch recorded feeding sessions where you can learn tons about the wide variety of marine life found in this excellent aquarium. 

Georgia Aquarium

Do you like live webcams of animals? If so, the Georgia Aquarium’s extensive collection of webcams of some of its favorite animals in their aquarium habitats is a great choice for a home visit. My favorite is the sea otter cam, and you’ll also find others like a piranha and a beluga whale cam.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

The Monterey Bay Aquarium dishes up all kinds of sea life content on its fantastic website. Here, you will find a selection of live cams of different animal habitats as well as narrated feeding sessions every single weekday

Are you one of the many dog lovers who love to travel? If so, there is a unique hotel in rural Idaho that you absolutely must visit if you are ever planning to visit the region.

If you are driving on US Route 95 just outside of the small town of Cottonwood, you will come face to face with a giant beagle. That’s right, a dog is the most interesting landmark in this town of just 900 people.

And lucky enough for you, this beagle is more than just a statue: it’s a fully-functioning bed and breakfast that you can stay in!

The Dog Bark Park Inn contains only one room and gives about as personal of an experience as a dog lover can get. You’ll be staying inside of “Sweet Willy,” a cute beagle that is the home to a queen bed and two twin futon beds, making it perfect for a stay with your partner or your family. The dog-themed decoration of the interior of the bed and breakfast is absolute heaven for canine lovers. 

Located conveniently near Hells Canyon of the Snake River National Recreation Area and also halfway between two of the United States’ most famous national parks, Yellowstone and Glacier, nature lovers will find plenty to do nearby.

Be sure to call the property well in advance of the dates you’d like to stay, as demand is high and the B&B’s one room means that availability is limited! If you are lucky enough to stay here, it will certainly be an experience that you’ll never forget.

Here are three American zoos which offer fantastic virtual visits.

Houston Zoo

The Houston Zoo has a wide variety of live cameras which you can use to see some of its favorite animals from 7 am to 7 pm Central Time. Giraffes, gorillas, flamingos, and more can be observed throughout the day for a fun at-home experience.

The Azores is an archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, just a little closer to Europe than to the Americas. Belonging to Portugal, natural wonders abound in the Azores’ nine islands, where volcanoes, vegetation, sea, and geothermal influences unite.

Animal lovers will also be at home in the Azores, as it is home of arguably the best whale watching on the planet.

The main island of Sao Miguel is the whale watching starting point if you visit the Azores. From here, boats leave from two main places: the capital city of Ponta Delgada and the smaller village of Vila Franca.

Either is a fine option for whale watching, as these magnificent creatures can be found in plentiful numbers around the island in all places, especially from the months of April to October.

Half-day trips are the usual choice for those who are going whale watching in the Azores, with morning and afternoon trips having an equally good chance of seeing these magnificent animals.

Sperm whales are the main species which can be found around the Azores, as these giant beasts enjoy feeding on the plentiful amount of squid and other seafood which can be found in the waters around the Azores.

Rarely, migrating whales like blue whales, fin whales, and humpback whales can be spotted as they migrate to other places.

In short, any animal lover would be crazy not to go on a whale watching tour while visiting the Azores. Be sure to sign up for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see one of the world’s most majestic creatures.
