I went there today and it was a great experience. There were no queues for the train and the cable car, so you could just go and play. It was drizzling a little bit, and the rainforest environment of the park made the experience feel great. There were no mosquitoes. The staff were also very friendly. There were so many animals that you couldn't see them all even if you went later. There are still many that I didn't post because I can only post nine. Anyway, I highly recommend it. You must also see the circus. You will definitely not regret it. Every show is super exciting. Sitting in the seats in the interactive channel allows you to interact with the actors. As long as it is not the absolute peak period, this place is worth coming again. Good review!
Chimelong is a must-visit when traveling with children to Guangzhou. It's actually comparable in size to some domestic zoos, such as Shanghai Wild Animal Park and Huzhou Dragon Dream Animal World. The highlight is the cable car tour, 4D animation, and some games and entertainment. I personally think the cable car is quite good. The dinosaur area is a bit... a bit of a waste of time, and I think the ticket price is a bit expensive. The entrance sign for the study tour was unclear, so I forgot to pick it up. It feels like a one-time visit is enough for a tourist trip. The staff varies from person to person: some are enthusiastic, while others are reserved and expressionless. It all depends on luck.

We went there on the last day of the Spring Festival holiday. It wasn't as crowded as we'd imagined. Apart from the birdsong, which was a bit crowded, everything else was fine. The park is large and the environment is good. My kids were very happy.
It's worth visiting if you enjoy looking at animals. There are various of them. The park is beautiful and big. There are some performances. I saw an African dance, elephant and tiger performance. I think there are some other performances but I came across them by accident. We need a map with the programme.

OK, OK, we tried the roller coaster, which was fun (〃'▽'〃) We mainly looked at the animals and rode a roller coaster. We were actually tired after walking around with the elderly for an entire afternoon, haha. We didn't see any shows, but overall we had a lot of fun~
Chimelong Ocean Kingdom is one of the more enjoyable marine-themed parks in China, but its relatively high ticket price makes it more than just an aquarium, which was a tough decision. We only saw four of the five themed shows, which were worth seeing. Chimelong really does a great job in this area, and the animal performances were fantastic. The Chimelong facility is massive, even housing giant whale sharks, which is quite a spectacle. The food at Chimelong is better than at Disneyland and Universal Studios, and the portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. Due to long lines, we skipped twelve rides and only rode the Parrot Roller Coaster. It was fun and exciting, not as scary as at Universal Studios. Five stars for playability!

It's very good, but it's a bit troublesome to have to exchange the tickets. In fact, you can just swipe your ID card, but you will know how beautiful the scenery is when you go to the top of the tower. We enjoyed the afterglow of the sunset, and then slowly watched the night view. The night in Guangzhou is also beautiful, with bright lights. I like it very much!
After purchasing your ticket online, you have to exchange it for a paper ticket, which is a bit inconvenient. The directions to the top of the tower after exchanging your ticket are unclear, and you often have to ask the staff. However, the experience at the top is quite good, and you must ride the Ferris wheel. We went at night, and the night view is beautiful.

Hey everyone, I won't let anyone miss the Shenzhen Window of the World Beer Festival! This trip, from day to night, was absolutely amazing!
Entering the park during the day, it's like opening a portal to the world. The miniature landscapes are incredibly exquisite. Strolling through the park, you're sometimes "under" the Eiffel Tower, sometimes in front of the Arc de Triomphe. You can't stop snapping photos, and every one of them is a masterpiece, instantly earning countless likes when you post them on WeChat Moments. There are also many interactive performances, and the performers are incredibly enthusiastic, creating a lively atmosphere and a sense of participation.
In the evening, the beer festival officially kicked off. The lights shone brightly, and the sound of music and laughter mingled. The performances on stage were incredible, the rock bands' passionate performances had you swaying to the beat, and the passionate dancing instantly ignited the crowd.
The beer stalls were even more dazzling, offering a wide variety of fragrant and rich craft beers. Paired with skewers and snacks, it was a true feast for the taste buds. Enjoying a beer with friends and a performance melted away all my worries.
From the cultural exploration during the day to the carnival feast at night, the Shenzhen Window of the World Beer Festival was truly an amazing experience. I highly recommend it to everyone!
It was cool, was only there for 2 hours and I saw everything but I didn’t ride and rides

If you are visiting Guangzhou, going on the Pearl River Night cruise is one of the items you can add to your itinerary. We booked the 3rd floor and appreciated the cool breeze while looking at the beautiful scenery and enjoying the company of family.
For tourists coming to Guangzhou, I think the place that must be visited is the Pearl River Night Cruise. I am a local myself, and I brought my family to see it. The night view on both sides of the Pearl River is very beautiful. What I am most looking forward to is seeing the Little Guangzhou Waist. I recommend taking photos as a souvenir. You can appreciate the customs of Guangzhou along the way and enjoy the dazzling scenery of this city. It is a must-see attraction in Guangzhou, five stars!

I took my kids to Chimelong this summer. The layout is well-organized, with animals and attractions. Downloading the app made it easy to manage the time. One day is tight, but two days might be more spacious, allowing for both activities without getting tired. The food at the restaurant was average, and the prices were average. My only complaint was the evening fireworks. I had to wait in line on the steps, but the view was blocked by people standing in front of me. As the crowds grew, I couldn't see the fireworks. There were no park staff to maintain order, which was a stark contrast to the Gods. It also made for frequent disputes, which is why I give it a bad review.
The combination of Ocean Kingdom and amusement park. I don't like amusement park things, so I don't think it's worth it. If you like it, it should be good. You can play roller coasters and rapids without changing places.

I like the ancient banyan trees, the earthen buildings, the mountains and rivers here, and the people here are very friendly. The only thing I don’t like here is the business. The villagers come out to set up their own stalls, which is too monotonous! It lacks fun!
It's okay, it's just an ancient town, the lights are okay at night, and you can set off fireworks on the river. It's about 800 meters from Yunshuiyao Ancient Town to Huaiyuan Tower. Because the weather was too hot, we went out at night. After purchasing the ticket, you can enter and exit unlimitedly within 2 days. Overall, this trip is okay!

We drove from Dongguan to stay at Chimelong Hotel with one child and three adults. The experience was amazing! The hotel itself is like a tropical rainforest kingdom, and the kids were so excited to see the white tiger in the lobby. The room was spacious and comfortable, with children's bathrobes and slippers, and the cartoon elements were a big hit with the kids. The best thing was Mr. Yao from the concierge. When he learned that it was our first time, he took the initiative to give us a detailed introduction to the Safari World tour route and show times. He also efficiently helped us with the shuttle bus schedule for the park, which was worry-free and effortless! The hotel has a direct access to the zoo, so we could take the kids back to the room quickly to rest when we were tired. It's a perfect combination of convenience, childlike fun, and professional service. I will definitely choose this hotel again when I visit Guangzhou Chimelong next time! Five-star recommendation for families with children
A great place for families! Suitable for children over 1.4 meters tall, they can enjoy the attractions on their own without a parent. We visited on a Sunday during summer vacation and spent eight hours there, doing all eight attractions without a Kuaiquda. You can queue for whatever you want to do; the longest line was about an hour. For the whitewater rafting, it's best to bring your own raincoat and shoe covers; they sell them for 20 yuan. Also, bring plenty of water; drinking water isn't available here and can only be purchased within the park. We went to the restaurant around 11:00 AM, which was quite busy and made for a comfortable lunch. You can also ask for warm water.
