As many of you know, I love all things pertaining to water, and the Shanghai Aquarium certainly fits this bill. It is honestly my favorite aquarium in the world (well, my data set is limited, but I've done Boston, Baltimore, Monterey, HK, and Singapore).

That having been said, I don't go to the aquarium very often because navigating Lujiazui is a bit of a nightmare (I still don't understand why so many FTers reside over there by choice!).

Moving on, to get there, take Line 2 to Lujiazui, exit 1 or 2. Ticket prices have gone up quite a bit in recent years (160 for adults, and 110 for kids), but it's well worth this cost.

I'm not sure if it's because today is a holiday or if Chinese are bleeding cash, but it was maddeningly crowded... not just the aquarium, but all of LJZ.

I went there with my business partner and his children. My favorite exhibit was the penguin room, while the kids liked the jellyfish.

I really wanted to follow up the aquarium with a visit to Suntory for some of the best sushi in China, but the others vetoed me, and we ended up at Burger King in the Super Brand Mall instead.

I took some pretty nice pictures over there, but I'm too lazy to post them now (you guys all know what fish look like, anyway).
