In general good entertainment park but pricing inside is really high and the park is dated with limited maintenance and overhaul. Avoid weekends at all cost.
I highly recommend visiting Chimelong Safari Park in November! The animals are happy, and so am I.
Blue skies, white clouds, and a gentle breeze—it's the perfect season for a trip. I'd heard so much about Chimelong, and this time, taking advantage of watching the National Games, I decided to visit. Thank you, Chimelong, for creating such a comfortable living environment for the animals. They all looked so relaxed and content, as if they were enjoying their work.
My daughter and I saw the kiwis, koalas, giraffes, tigers, lions, monkeys, elephants, zebras, flamingos, parrots…we rode the mini-train and the cable car, spending a whole day at the zoo—it was incredibly fun! I highly recommend everyone to visit.

Many thanks to Liu Jiaying, the hotel concierge and WeChat service ambassador, who contacted us by phone the moment we arrived at the hotel and led us through the VIP check-in channel. She also provided us with travel information and guidance, offering timely assistance that made our trip even more enjoyable! The hotel staff were a hit with both adults and children; we all slept soundly through the night, and the accommodation and sightseeing experience was superb!
Tickets are relatively expensive, but there's a 50% discount for birthdays. An annual pass is very cost-effective if you visit frequently. It's a great place for families. There are only two parade performances per day, so check the times in advance. It's best to enter from the North Gate in the morning. The panda triplets are not open before 1 PM, so going in the morning won't help, but you can still see the pandas.

The marine animals truly live up to their reputation as the world's largest. There are hundreds, even thousands, of penguins – I've never had such a fantastic experience! There are also all sorts of sharks, whales, dolphins, polar bears, and more. It was incredibly enjoyable to see. The park also has rides, but we were short on time and didn't get to try them all. Overall, it was definitely worth it.
Bought 1-Day Ticket 2 People x2 for four. No physical ticket, but the ticket was link to the passport number you key in when purchase. So when reach Chimelong Ocean Kingdom go directly to the entrance and the person will just scan the passport link to the ticket. They will scan the others as well to make sure you are overseas visitors. Zhuhai Chimelong Ocean Kingdom is big and need to plan your trip so to see all avaiable shows there is. Dolphin show, Beluga Show and Sealion Show. Go 1/2 hour early to queue so to get a good seat for the shows. As for the rides the Parrot Coaster is a must for thrill seekers, Polar Explorer and the Walrus splash is good but can get really wet. Purchase rain coat before entering the theme park or just purchase it at the ride there. The aquarium is big and the whale shark is amazing as the other exhibits. At night there is a firework / jet ski show at 8pm. There is drone show as well but it was cancel due to strong wind. Enjoy my time there.

I bought the business class tickets, but it is only special in the waiting area. When the time is near they let us line up in front of other passengers. When the gate opens people will run to the other waiting door, we have to rush for a seat as others do. It's a small island, you get on from one jetty and walk to another jetty to go back. There's a baggy car service, but if you buy the tickets for the whole journey, then you can only see the seaside and miss many other inner sides of the island.
I bought tickets on Ctrip (NT$50 entrance fee) for a self-guided tour. The highest observation platform offers panoramic views of the island, and the scenery is beautiful. However, people with a fear of heights should probably avoid buying tickets; I saw several people with this fear turn back that day. The observation platform isn't large, and staff are on hand to maintain order, ensuring people queue to get on and off and controlling the number of people on the platform.

I've been to Xiamen many times, but this was my first time visiting the Botanical Garden. The garden is beautiful, with rockeries and a rich variety of plants; it's both educational and scenic. Facing the sea, the view is delightful. I highly recommend it during your trip to Xiamen.
Xiamen Botanical Garden, established in 1960, is the first botanical garden in Fujian Province and a national 5A-level tourist attraction. It's recommended to enter from the South Gate and exit from the West Gate, or vice versa. From the South Gate, you can take an elevator to nine viewing platforms for excellent scenery. A sightseeing bus takes you to different attractions within the garden, offering a fantastic experience. Tickets are only 5-10 yuan, and free for those over 65 – a great deal! Here is a detailed introduction:
• Location: Located in the southeastern corner of Xiamen Island, nestled in Wanshi Mountain, backed by Wulao Peak, Nanputuo Temple, and Xiamen University, and adjacent to Zhongshan Road.
• Garden Size: Covering an area of 4.91 square kilometers, the garden integrates plant species conservation, scientific research, and popular science education.
• Plant Resources: Over 10,000 plant species have been introduced, cultivated, and conserved from around the world, forming 16 specialized gardens. It houses the National Palm Plant Conservation Center and the National Bougainvillea Germplasm Resource Bank, and boasts the largest outdoor succulent plant display area in China.
• Main Attractions: Notable attractions include Wanshi Hancui, the Succulent Plant Area, and Rainforest World. Wanshi Hancui centers around Wanshi Lake, featuring scenic views, pavilions, and bridges. The Succulent Plant Area collects over 3,200 species of succulents from more than 50 families. Rainforest World creates a magical rainforest atmosphere through a mist system.
• Cultural Landscape: The park features ancient Minnan temples such as Tianjie Temple, Wanshi Lian Temple, and Taipingyan Temple, as well as numerous historical sites including cliff carvings and the Qiaoxi Ancient Bridge, offering a rich cultural heritage.

When you come to Xiamen, you absolutely must take a ride on the Bell and Drum Cableway! The whole journey takes about 40 minutes, half mountain and half sea, offering panoramic views of the mountains, sea, and city! Unfortunately, the weather turned cloudy and rainy the afternoon I went, so I didn't get to see the sunset. I'll definitely go again next time!
Xiamen is truly a beautiful city, and taking the cable car to see the scenery is a great option 😊 Buying tickets is very convenient; even if you book online, you still need to pick up a paper ticket on-site. Each car can seat two people, so if you're traveling alone, you'll have to share a seat 😄 or you can buy two tickets and have the car to yourself!

This tower was amazing . Especially top floor is great . If you travel ito guangzhou , you must visit this place
The Canton Tower is really beautiful. We caught an event with a discount on tickets, and kids under 1.2 meters tall didn't need tickets. A round trip on the Ferris wheel offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the night scene. We went in the evening, which was perfect as it wasn't too crowded, and we didn't have to wait in line for too long.

This place was fun for a Sunday day out. We went on some rides many times without a line and then some we waited for an hour. This was only due to low capacity of riders allowed on the ride at one time.
At Window of the World, every step is a surprise, and every turn reveals a different view. Whether it's the elegance and solemnity of the European section or the passion and exuberance of the American section, visitors can deeply feel the unique charm of different cultures.

Easy excess, fantastic third-floor view, roughly an hour-long nighttime tour. Candy, hot tea, and a small snack are all included. The cost of fried nuggets and one drink was fairly high. Overall, it's a fantastic nighttime activity.
Very nice tour amazing views!! Be careful if it’s cold chose indoors seat!

The Chimelong International Circus Gala Show was amazing! Packed with incredible acrobatics and performances that kept me on the edge of my seat. Tip: Seating is free, so arrive early for the best view. Highly recommended!
I really enjoyed the show. I purchased 1st class tickets but found that there was a lot happening behind me that I wasn't able to view. Many other customers were standing which was difficult. When I was watching the stage, the show was perfect. Very enjoyable. If I returned I would purchase cheaper tickets in the grandstand.
