Shenzhen has a zoo called "Wild Animal Zoo - Safari Park Shenzhen". I visited it in 2006 and admission at the time was 100Y/person, but currently it is 120Y/person. Actually, the zoo is better than most other Asian zoos, though not yet up to the standards of zoos I visited in the Netherlands. On the upside is that they have some great shows: with birds, lions and on a big track with various animals: tricks with running horses, bears cycling and so on. They also have panda bears and many monkeys and other wild animals.

You can look at the photos I took during our visit. 

Overall quite a good day!

Verdict

8/10. Despite seeing some animals in cages that are too small, and tourists teasing bored animals, I think this is one of the better zoos in China and certainly worth a visit when you are living in Shenzhen.
