Chimelong's ticket pricing is very reasonable, with separate tickets for weekdays and weekends/holidays, as well as standard, youth, and family tickets. The service is also excellent; there are many staff members in every area who are happy to answer any questions, leaving you feeling warm and cared for after a day of sightseeing. In 2014, Chimelong bred triplets of giant pandas, causing a worldwide sensation. Now, 11 years later, Chimelong has bred even more pandas. The fact that these national treasures can take root, sprout, and thrive at Chimelong demonstrates the excellent environment. I recommend visiting the Panda Park, a relatively independent and large area well worth a visit.
Chimelong Safari Park has been operating for many years and has remained popular. It gets better and better with continuous updates and maintenance. The animals living here also feel very happy. The key is that you can see a constant stream of animals being born from their own breeding. This time I saw many newborn animals, which were so cute. The lion cubs, tiger cubs... they were absolutely adorable!

So much fun! Ticket should be purchased before one day. Don’t forget to take fast track. My son also got the experience with the little lines class, even it was in Chinese (he doesn’t speak ) we loved it so much. Be prepared. It is hard to leave this place.
I absolutely loved Chimelong Safari Park! It was a really hot day when I visited, but there were tons of fans and such inside, so it wasn't too hot! My only complaint was the mini-train – it was incredibly hot, packed with people, and in the sweltering heat, the "golden viewing lanes" were all private cars, with the train on the outer edge, so you could barely see anything. If you sat in the very outermost seat, you could see even less... Many cars on the private lanes stopped and wouldn't move when they saw interesting animals, causing a constant traffic jam. The train was basically just for viewing private cars, making it feel like a car show!

There were so many children on their autumn outing. These days, autumn outings are all to parks this big! Back then, we only went to the Civic Park, which still charged admission. It was comparable to the Yuanming New Garden in Zhuhai at best. It's amazing how times have changed. The park is huge; to see every performance and visit every spot, you'd basically have to leave early and return late for a whole day.
I really recommend watching the dolphin show at Chimelong Ocean Kingdom. The performance felt lively and full of emotion, not just entertaining.And make sure you stay until nighttime — the fireworks and light show were incredibly beautiful. It’s the kind of moment that stays with you even after you leave the park.

If you really want a good view, the 488 observation deck is the place to go. There are large, thick pillars inside and a Ferris wheel outside. The Ferris wheel has curved windows that are constantly moving, so they'll always block your view. Going in around 5 PM allows you to experience both daytime and nighttime views. The Ferris wheel itself isn't that great; there are small queues during the day and long queues at night, and it's not like you have a private cabin. If you see those artists posing by the window, you've basically just gone around at a high point.
It is one of Guangzhou's landmark highlights. Booking tickets in advance is very convenient. Just exchange it for a real ticket at the machine at the front and it's ready to use.

It's a fun destination, combining world-class attractions, offering a rich and varied experience with numerous entertainment options, including plenty of play areas for children. Highly recommended for both adults and kids.
Yesterday, I went to Window of the World in Shenzhen with my colleagues. It's currently in its amusement park season, so there are tons of fun attractions, most of which are free, making it great value for money. The scenery is beautiful, with many miniature replicas of famous landmarks. It's a great place for leisure and recreation; I recommend it.

All the scenic spots in Chenzhou are great, with beautiful natural scenery and delicious Hunan cuisine. The Dongjiang fish, braised chicken, and blood duck are all excellent. Thanks to A-Jie from Dongya Apartment for helping us plan our itinerary and booking discounted tickets to the scenic spots, saving us time and money. We'll definitely stay at Dongya Apartment again next time we're in Chenzhou!
The hotel has a great location and environment, the beds and blankets are clean and comfortable, and the price is much more affordable than other hotels. The cleanliness and environment are on par with other hotels, the staff are very responsive, and the overall ambiance is appealing. I had a very pleasant experience and would definitely stay here again.

This is a must do activity if you are in Guangzhou. The staffs know English and are very cordial. We liked the atmosphere up on the roof top but I think second floor viewing area is not bad as well if you are on a budget.
It's a fairly relaxing cruise, where drinks and snacks are provided ... You can go to level 3 deck to take photos but it will be crowded with people. If the cruise is crowded do be prepared to fight for your space to catch the scenery.

A truly spectacular circus performance! The entire show transcended mere circus and acrobatics, becoming a high-level artistic feast—the most breathtaking live circus performance I've ever seen! The high level of skill among the acrobats was expected, but the atmosphere and artistic choreography of the entire performance exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended! 😎
What an amazing experience it was. No less than Cirque du Soleil.

The park isn't particularly large (it's easy to walk around), but it has a wide variety of venues and rides. The evening fireworks show was absolutely spectacular! Chimelong is definitely worth a visit! I also want to give a shout-out to Ctrip and the Guangzhou Tourism Bureau. With a 200 yuan coupon from the Guangzhou Tourism Bureau, the National Day ticket for the Sanren Gate was only 1,150 yuan—a fantastic deal!!!
This is a great place for families, especially for kids over 8 years old, seeking excitement and adrenaline. In their own words, "I felt my legs weaken for the first time (after getting off the Parrot Roller Coaster)." The fireworks at 8 p.m. were truly spectacular, worth half the price of admission. The only downside is that the restaurants within the park are quite expensive.

This is the only grassland in the south, and it's truly breathtaking. If you have the stamina, you can conquer every hilltop. Everywhere you look is green, incredibly soothing. We were lucky enough to see a sea of clouds; locals said they rarely see such a beautiful cloudscape. Highly recommended!
It's definitely worth a visit. In the morning, a thin mist hangs in the air, like a veil covering the sky. As the temperature rises, the clouds part and the sun shines through, revealing rolling meadows, leisurely flocks of sheep, distant windmills, and various castles, making you feel like you've stepped into a fairytale world.
