*wouldn't count this as a "zoo," but your last line made me add it anyways.

I visited other Asian zoos from 2006-2011, but I'd need to do some digging to figure out when exactly. I'm also not sure if they'd be 'recent' enough to mention (most of those have been visited more recently by others/myself - Shanghai Zoo, the entire Singapore set, and then a few very small other establishments in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia)

I visited three zoos on Luzon last November:
Malibon Zoo: lives up to all that Peter Dickinson has written about it.
Badly kept and overcrowded animals on concrete mostly. Very overweight tigers, wet-feathered domestic geese, grossly overcrowded Philippine Brown Deer, crocodilians without enough water to fully submerge, domestic sheep with an apparent skin condition. Some animals seemed physically and mentally healthy, notably a huge Arowana in a big tank full of green water, and a number of parrots (including, if I remember rightly, the endangered Philippine Cockatoo) in large pet type parrot cages. Orangs were out of sight, so can't comment on them.
Manila Zoo: large open, albeit pit-type enclosures for big cats, good bird collection, although not set up for optimum breeding opportunities. Rufous Night Herons (apparently wild -- maybe derived from escaped/released birds?) walking about all over the place and apparently breeding. Single Asian Elephant (Mali, about who, much animal rights type stuff has been written), appeared well enriched, with dedicated keepers and volunteers, and little or no stereotyping.
Obviously aged Hippopotamus (since died), happily devouring a heap of potatoes. Zebroid on display, can't remember exact aren't age, but zebra of some kind x horse.
Avilon Zoo: by far the best, lots of goodies largely well housed and maintained. Crested Goshawk in an aviary with appropriate screening, so it could be seen by the interested visitor without panicking. Accipiters are difficult to exhibit in perfect feather, with undamaged soft parts and apparently well settled, as this one appeared to be. The best hornbill aviaries I've ever seen, tall, planted with appropriate nesting facilities and some soecies breeding. Geographically incongruous, but ecological appropriate, agoutis were picking up discarded fruit in the bottom of some of these aviaries. I suspect the zoo gets a lot of confiscated birds, as some rather 'special' species were housed in flocks, like the Philippine species of Hanging Parrot and Falconet. When I can find my photographs, I'm going to write this place up in more detail. I will just mention a big outdoor lizard enclosure, of which the stars were huge Philippine Sailfin Lizards. Also noteworthy were the many large Arowana sharing their pond with a lot of Egyptian Geese. A single Frigate Bird, possibly here for years, and maybe the one photographed in the Zoochat gallery, and lots of Purple Herons (I've only seen this attractive species in one other zoo -- Wroclaw) were other highlights for this bird nerd.
 
All the lists are now up to date, it would be great if we can fill them out a bit with people's winter (or older) travels.
