Taking the kids to Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park was an amazing experience! The drive-through area offered stunning close-up views of giraffes and lions, while the walking area featured adorable panda triplets and a fantastic white tiger show. The staff was friendly and professional, and the park was well-planned with no detours. We had a blast the entire day! Highly recommended!
We encountered a rainstorm halfway through the game, but it did not dampen our enthusiasm for playing in the water. We had exciting double-shot cannons, surfboards, leisurely rafting, and a wave pool that we couldn't get enough of. Adults and children had a great time, and we look forward to visiting again.

Good sunset view on 17:00pm if u come with ur boyfriend but i came alone🫶🏻
When I was on a business trip to Guangzhou, I couldn't miss the Canton Tower. My colleagues and I climbed to the highest platform that evening. Since we didn't have much time, we didn't purchase any other attractions. From the top, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of Guangzhou's nightscape. At the base of the tower, there's also an exhibition of antique painted pottery and other artwork.

Originally didn't plan to visit, as from the pictures I thought it wouldn't be that cool. I was absolutely wrong. We went to see it and this is awesome, everything is a lot bigger than it looks in the pictures. But also, it has upto maybe 100 different things to see from all over the world.
Kids must be 150cm and above then you will all other rides. Toddlers are good at the Jurassic world especially either water play. Most attractions need to pay again. So tickets is just the entrance fee.

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!

The Chimelong Show is a super show that blends light, music, dance, acrobatics, and other art forms! 💃🏻🎨
The lights are dazzling, the music is rousing, the dance is passionate, and the acrobatics are thrilling—every moment is thrilling! 🔥
I remember that night, I felt like I was in a dream world. The lights intertwined beautiful scenes before my eyes, the music stirred waves of excitement in my ears, the dancers danced gracefully, and the acrobats' skills were breathtaking!
The Chimelong Show is more than just a performance; it's a cultural exchange and an artistic experience. 🌍🎭
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.

Highly recommended. We drove, and crossing the Nan'ao Bridge cost 96 RMB. We stayed at the Jingdelou B&B on Nan'ao Island. As you can see from the pictures, it was a very clean family room. There are three rooms. The host upgraded us for free, so kudos to the owner! 👍 We then dined at the restaurant across from the hotel, Islander Home Cooking. The seafood was fresh, generous, and affordable, and the cost for six of us was 408 RMB. That night, we rented an electric sled for a ride around the island. It was so cool and affordable. You can rent an electric sled downstairs from the hotel for 60 RMB for 24 hours, and the owner gave us a brand new one. We also had delicious pickled vegetables. I was worried I'd be ripped off before I went, but after I visited, I found the island vendors to be very kind! It was a truly wonderful experience. I highly recommend it to everyone.
The Cape Beach Camp on Nan'ao Island is worth a visit. The following is its highlights: - Beautiful natural scenery: The beach where the camp is located is quiet, the sand is delicate and soft, and the sea is crystal clear. The camp is facing the Moon Bay to the east. Sometimes you can see blue tears. In the evening, you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sun sinking into the sea and the sunset staining the sky. In the morning, it is suitable for watching the sunrise and the romantic atmosphere is full. - Rich entertainment facilities: The camp has a beach swing area, indoor camping area, lawn camping area, etc., and is also equipped with KTV, projection screen, outdoor bonfire and other facilities. Beach volleyball, Frisbee, sea-catching activities, suitable for company team building, private customization, marriage proposal, birthday party, Family gatherings and other activities. - Featured catering services: camping barbecue service, 188 yuan per person, rich dishes, seafood and meat such as abalone, salmon, beef stew, fresh shrimp, fresh ingredients, and barbecue with the sea breeze at the beach, very pleasant. - Strong island style: There are colored fishing boats parked at the pier around the camp, and there are fish dried by fishermen on the shore. You can take a photo of the "fishing village life" and feel the authentic island style. In addition, there are also check-in points such as the "❤️ South Australia" word wall and the giant "Tropic of Cancer" word wall nearby. The only Tropic of Cancer sign tower in China built on the island is not far away. It is suitable for taking children with science and geography knowledge while playing and taking pictures.

Bring your kids there and get a discounted ticket for the Gaokao admission ticket or admission notice, plus a cloth bag as a souvenir. The elevator takes you to the 116th floor in just 55 seconds. The view is great, and it's worthy of being the fifth tallest building in the world. Highly recommended!
The experience is very strong. There is a strong cultural atmosphere when you go up. You can also watch street dance performances. It is super value. You can see Shenzhen and Hong Kong from a distance. The damper is particularly good and free to watch. You need to buy extra tickets to see the damper at the Shanghai Center.

The Chen Family Ancestral Hall embodies the pinnacle of Lingnan architectural decorative craftsmanship. Nearly every hall, courtyard, corridor, hallway, door, window, railing, wall, roof ridge, and beam showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Lingnan architecture's "three carvings, two sculptures, one casting, and one painting," encompassing wood carving, brick carving, stone carving, pottery sculpture, plaster sculpture, copper and iron casting, and painted murals.
It is one of the largest surviving traditional Cantonese architectures and the largest, best-preserved, and most exquisitely decorated ancestral hall-style building in China. It is hailed as the "Pearl of Lingnan Architectural Art."
It is very necessary to hire a tour guide. The guide is very nice. He contacted me as soon as I received the order to confirm the travel information. The whole explanation process was very detailed and eloquent. We benefited a lot.

From a distance, you can see Macau's famous casinos and entertainment hotels, including Grand Lisboa, MGM, Wynn, and Luxury. You can also see the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, but if you want to truly experience the bridge, it is recommended to take a car tour on the bridge.
The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge tour is a stunning experience that combines the natural landscape perfectly. As the world's longest sea-crossing bridge, its spectacular bridge, island and tunnel design is breathtaking, especially the three profoundly navigable holes (Chinese knot, dolphin tower, sail tower) and the unique feeling of crossing the undersea tunnel. The sea view along the way is magnificent, and the encounter with Chinese white dolphins is even more surprising. However, some tourists reported higher tolls and slightly cumbersome procedures. The new high passenger flow during the Spring Festival shows its potential as a Greater Bay Area tourism hub. Overall, this is a recommended trip, especially for engineering and photography enthusiasts.

The Tomb of the Nanyue King in Guangzhou is truly stunning! The tomb's exquisite artifacts, including the "Emperor Wen's Seal," bear witness to history, and the carved jade pendants showcase exquisite craftsmanship. It bears witness to the intertwining cultures of Lingnan and serves as a living historical record of the Han Dynasty. A visit here leaves you feeling deeply moved and deeply rewarded, a truly memorable experience worth savoring!
As a place with very specialized exhibition content, the viewing experience is actually very comfortable. On each floor, you can see the historical footprints of the exhibits slowly laid out. I prefer this kind of place to a large museum where you just rush through it. Come early and watch quietly. There is no noise or crowds, and the guides are also very attentive.
