    The first-class interactive seats were totally worth it!! The actors walked right past us. We were in the front row, and the kids had a blast, clapping and interacting with actors from different countries. They were especially happy when groups of small animals ran past.

    Beautiful scenery with detailed replicas of various famous landmarks. The park is divided into different zones by continent. The entrance fee isn’t expensive. The rides don’t have many people, but the waiting times are still quite long. Overall, it was fun

    Nice way to experience the beautiful night scene of pearl river. The only minor complaint is that the seating arrangement can't be selected during booking.

    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!!!

    Nan'ao Island is a vital stop and transit point for trade along China's southeast coast, a major channel for maritime trade between mainland China and Taiwan, and an important node on the Maritime Silk Road. As one of the 12 island counties (districts) of mainland China with an entire island area designated as a national 4A-level tourist attraction, Nan'ao Island boasts abundant island resources and is an oasis on the Tropic of Cancer. Nan'ao Island's tourism resources are characterized by a unique combination of sea, history, mountains, and temples. Many scenic spots, such as Song Well, the General's Mansion, Jin Yin Island, Qing'ao Bay, and the Island National Forest Park, have always been popular. It also boasts the Guangdong Nanpeng Islands National Nature Reserve, the "International Migratory Bird Paradise"—the Guangdong Nan'ao Migratory Bird Provincial Nature Reserve, and numerous other accolades including "China's Most Beautiful Coastline," "Guangdong Provincial All-for-One Tourism Demonstration Zone," "Guangdong Provincial-Level Tourist Resort," "Guangdong Provincial Strong Tourism County," "Guangdong Provincial Coastal Tourism Demonstration Scenic Area," "Guangdong Provincial Coastal Tourism Industrial Park," and "One of Guangdong's Top Ten Beautiful Islands."

    Checked in! Shenzhen's tallest building lives up to its name. The elevator is incredibly fast and stable, seating many people while remaining steady. The ladies there are all very beautiful. From here, you can overlook the entire city of Shenzhen. If you prefer not to be disturbed, you can scan a QR code to listen to the guided tour. It truly is a fantastic sightseeing elevator.

    This is the most worthwhile museum to visit in the entire Lingnan region, bar none. All 195 prohibited cultural relics from leaving Guangdong are housed here, making it exceptional. The only regret is that we can no longer access the tombs; however, this is unavoidable for preservation purposes.

    Today, my whole family visited the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall. The guide was booked on the spur of the moment, but the experience was surprisingly wonderful! She was friendly and approachable throughout, and her explanations were incredibly detailed. From the "three carvings, two sculptures, one casting, and one painting" of the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, to the historical stories on the brick carvings and the auspicious meanings in the pottery sculptures, everything was explained vividly and easily. She even proactively pointed out the exquisite craftsmanship hidden in the details. She patiently answered the children's questions and shared many family stories behind the construction of the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall. Highly recommended! (^.^)

    You absolutely must walk across the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge at least once; it's truly amazing! Thumbs up for China's infrastructure! 👍 The visit was a bit short; after taking photos, there wasn't enough time to learn more about the entire construction process and technology – a small regret!
