Formula One Grand Prix Off
Every October, the Formula 1 circus comes to this impressive, state-of-the-art circuit 40 minutes northwest of the city centre. It's one of the most glamorous events on the Shanghai calendar and tickets, from around Y380 to around Y4000 , get snapped up very quickly. Book ahead through the website, or visit a friendly ticket tout.

Gongqing Forest Park
Most of Shanghai's synthetic parks can leave one cold, but this vast expanse of forested parkland on the western shore of the Huangpu River is a leafy, wooded and tranquil slice of countryside in town. This is about as wild as you get in Pǔxī, with nary a skyscraper in sight. Aim to spend half if not the whole day picnicking and wandering around this huge area, or hop into one of the buggies for express tours around the grounds.

Jinjiang Amusement Park
Roller coasters, rides and a huge Ferris wheel are all here in this amusement park. It's a bit out of town, but easy to get to, as it has its own metro station.

Shanghai Ocean Aquarium
Education meets entertainment in this slick and intelligently designed aquarium that children will love. Join them on a tour through the aquatic environments from the Yangzi River to Australia, South America, the frigid ecosystems of the Antarctic and to the flourishing marine life of coral reefs. The 155m-long underwater clear viewing tunnel has gobsmacking views.

Shanghai Zoo
As Chinese zoos go, this is just about the best and it makes for a good day out for those with kids in tow. There's a decent selection of beasts - from woolly twin-humped Bactrian camels to spindly legged giraffe, gorillas, lions, lots of different monkeys, giant pandas and polar bears - but some of the enclosures they're housed in are less than ideal.
