Chimelong Safari Park is absolutely worth a visit! Especially because you can drive in and observe the wildlife up close. Those traveling by car shouldn't miss this experience, and those who aren't are also highly recommended to rent a car through Ctrip. While there are tour buses, they're not as convenient as driving. You can stop and explore as you please, and even get the chance to touch gentle animals like giraffes.
The zoo is also home to a wide variety of animals. Not only can you see monkeys and gorillas, but you can also see many other animals you don't normally see, such as anteaters, tapirs, and even monitor lizards. You can also see koalas, especially since Chimelong's koalas are a collaboration with Australia, allowing you to see many koala babies born in China.
Overall, the zoo is huge, and exploring every area would take a full day. There are also many restaurants and souvenir shops within the park, and the prices are quite reasonable, about 30% higher than the average market price, which is still acceptable. The only downside is that many of the clothing and hats in the souvenir shop are not suitable for people from northern China, running a bit small. Upon asking, they said all sizes are one size fits all. Finally, I recommend that you go to see the circus performance after visiting Chimelong Safari Park!
