One-day tour to Chimelong Safari Park: a super fun animal world!
I went to Chimelong Safari Park and it was so much fun! Let me share my experience with you~
The most recommended project: small train tour
You must take this small train! The whole journey takes about 30 minutes, and there are also guides on the car to introduce the animals. The train keeps going forward and will not turn around, so choosing a seat is very important. It is recommended to sit on the right side, because most animals are on the right side, which is very convenient for taking pictures. I saw giraffes, zebras, and rhinos, and the distance was very close, it felt like I was in the African savannah!
Aerial cable car to see the panoramic view
After taking the small train, you can experience the aerial cable car. The feeling of looking down at animals from a high altitude is completely different. It is recommended to choose a cable car with a transparent bottom. The feet are all glass, and you can see the animals walking around under your feet, which is very exciting! We got off at the Panda Park station and watched a 4D movie. The effect is very realistic.
Must-see performance: White tiger diving
This performance is definitely not to be missed! The big white tiger jumped into the water from a high place to grab meat. The posture was so handsome, and the water splashed everywhere. The audience was exclaiming. There are several shows every day. It is recommended to check the time in advance.
Tips:
1. Go early and take the small train first. There are few people and no need to queue.
2. Bring sunscreen products, many places are open-air.
3. The restaurant in the park is a bit expensive, so you can bring some snacks.
In general, Chimelong Safari Park is especially suitable for the whole family to play. You can see animals up close and learn a lot of knowledge.
The time is 9:30-19:00. . . It is recommended to reserve enough time. . . The park is really big. . . Be careful to do sun protection in summer. . . There are also a lot of mosquitoes. Very tired to play. . . But the children are very happy. . . I have seen a lot of things I haven't seen. . Interesting animals.

Chimelong Circus has the world's largest permanent circus building certified by Guinness. The stage uses 11 layers of real scenery and 5 innovative modes (open, frame, etc.), with a width of 100 meters and can accommodate nearly 7,000 spectators.
The warm-up performance started at 7:10, the official performance started at 7:30, and ended at nearly 9:00. The motorcycle performance in the middle instantly ignited the atmosphere to a peak. The actors interacted with the audience many times and gave away dolls. Many animals participated in the performance, including white tigers, giraffes, lions, hippos, ostriches, parrots, pelicans, alpacas, dogs, etc.

The price is a bit expensive, but there are a lot of people. I don't recommend going during holidays. The queue is too disgusting. It takes 2 hours to queue for a small surf. The roller coaster took 3 hours to experience for 2 minutes.
In Guangzhou's Panyu District... Exit E of Hanxi Chimelong Subway Station... It's just a few minutes' walk away. Tickets are 250 per ticket... Night tickets are 199 per ticket (entry after 16:00). Vertical roller coaster... Free fall... Super pendulum... Lots of exciting rides... The sun is very strong... Be sure to wear sunscreen and keep cool.

It was a typhoon when we came, but fortunately it didn't rain on the day we entered the park, and there weren't many people playing. We didn't have to wait in line for a long time, and the experience was good. The children had a lot of fun.
I have been coming to Chimelong Water Park for several years in a row. This year, many new projects have been added, all of which are very exciting and fun. There are slightly fewer people during the week than on weekends, so the waiting time is not that long. There are also many places to eat, and I have a lot of fun.

Guangdong Science Center is an amazing science hall, a model of the perfect combination of science education and interactive experience. From the architectural point of view, it has a unique shape, such as the "eye of scientific discovery" on the front, and a "tech aircraft carrier" on the side, overlooking the blooming kapok, which is very modern and technological. There are many theme pavilions in the museum, which are rich and varied, covering all fields of science. In the "Experiment and Discovery" pavilion, you can operate classic experiments and feel the fun of scientific exploration; the "Digital World" pavilion can experience the magic of digital technology; The "Transportation World" pavilion is a place to witness the changes and future development of transportation. There are also 4 science and technology theaters and outdoor science exploration parks. Both children and adults can find fun and knowledge here. Through the combination of scientific, intellectual and interesting exhibition content and interactive experience form, people can learn scientific knowledge in fun, stimulate interest in science and exploration spirit, is a science park worth visiting.
💥Guangdong Science Center is really fun to visit! A whole day is not enough~🔬Thousands of interactive exhibits from space exploration to robotics laboratories, all of which are high-tech that can be touched and played! Children can't stop laughing when playing with building blocks and water curtain experiments in the children's paradise, and adults can also experience the astronaut addiction in the VR space capsule🚀. It's super shocking to see dinosaurs rushing towards you in the 4D cinema, and you can also operate mechanical devices by hand in the science square on the top floor✨. No wonder it is a holy place for parents and children to release their emotions. The kids can't be dragged away even when the museum closes!

The museum is located at No. 2 Zhujiang East Road, Tianhe District, Guangzhou. Tickets need to be reserved in advance. Adults and children need tickets. The museum is divided into Guangdong Natural Resources Exhibition Hall. . . Guangdong History and Culture Exhibition Hall. The content is rich and the theme is clear. . Suitable for parent-child activities.
I made a mistake. I thought the Guangdong Provincial Museum was just white-cut chicken and plastic baby carriages, so I didn't have much expectation.
As a result, I only visited three museums after 4 hours of visiting.
Entering the lobby, there was an activity with the museum and disabled people. They were all lively young people who taught me sign language. The 48-layer bone sculpture ball was jaw-dropping.
Chaoshan people, you are too rich and too low-key. Gold-covered wood furniture, screens, and ornaments. I can stay at home for a month and look at this every day. Can you tell me how much it costs to buy a small one?

Beautiful view from the top of Canton Tower, recommended book btw 6-8pm to see 🌇
The sunset from the 400-meter Ferris wheel is really beautiful! There are many people climbing the Guangzhou Tower. It took more than half an hour to get on the Ferris wheel. It took about 20 minutes to go around the wheel. Only when you get on the wheel can you see the beauty of Guangzhou! The Xiangjiang River in the evening is very beautiful!
