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.

Chimelong Safari Park has become a benchmark in China for its grand scale, diverse species, and immersive tour experience, making it particularly suitable for families. However, compared to top international zoos like Singapore, there is still room for improvement in management refinement, visitor quality guidance, and cost-effectiveness. It is recommended to visit during non-holidays and plan your itinerary appropriately to maximize the value of the experience.
We went on a self-driving tour. The parking instructions and directions to the scenic spots were very good. It was quite crowded during the summer. The lines for the train and cable car were quite long. I saw the girl who was always looking for confidence.

To the management of Zhuhai Chimelong Ocean Kingdom: Hello! During this visit to your attraction, I (we) would like to express our sincere gratitude for the enthusiastic assistance of the staff. Before and after the beluga whale show, my family accidentally lost their cell phone. We tried every possible way (including tracking and calling) to no avail. Just as we were about to give up and return to search for it, the staff we encountered were incredibly proactive and helpful. Ms. Ye Huiyu was very enthusiastic and actively used the intercom to assist us with our inquiries throughout the various departments. Ms. Zhao Jiamin enthusiastically guided us to the location where we were looking for our phone. Ms. Liang Zhongyi from the Service Center was attentive and responsible for verifying our information at the Service Center. Mr. Su Peiming from the Service Center was very polite and professional in handling our issue. Mr. Chen Kaiwei found our lost phone and promptly returned it to the Service Center. The successful recovery of our lost item was entirely due to the collaborative efforts of each of the aforementioned staff members. We were deeply impressed by their service attitude and professionalism. It would be wonderful if management recognized our efforts and expressed their gratitude to Mr. Chen Kaiwei! We would like to express our sincerest gratitude and recommend that Ms. Ye Huiyu, Ms. Zhao Jiamin, Ms. Liang Zhongyi, Mr. Su Peiming, and Mr. Chen Kaiwei be publicly recognized for their contributions to the Visitor Service Center. We wish Zhuhai Chimelong continued success!
There are a wide variety of dishes, and you can satisfy your taste buds with noodles or rice. There are also various snacks, which taste very good. The floats that come with the drinks are very attractive to kids, and the service attitude is also very good.

Gulangyu Island
We've arrived! A must-see for couples. It lives up to its name, the Qin Island. This beautiful, rich, and artistic island blends European and Southern Fujian culture. Transportation is convenient, and the boat ride from Xiamen Port takes only ten minutes. Highly recommended!
A visit to Xiamen is a must-do on Gulangyu Island. There are no cars on the island. After taking the morning ferry from Dongdu to Sanqiutian Wharf, you can stroll through a variety of buildings and private residences, surrounded by azure sea and sky. After visiting the attractions included in your combined ticket, you'll essentially complete your island tour before leaving by taking the evening ferry from Neicuo'ao Wharf. Gulangyu is also known as the Piano Island, and the Organ Art Center offers regular organ performances and exhibitions of various pianos and organs, offering a truly immersive artistic experience.

Xiamen Botanical Garden, a must-see attraction in Xiamen
🌳 Families, when visiting Xiamen, you can't miss the Botanical Garden! It's truly a green treasure in the city!
📍 Recommended check-in spots:
Succulent Plant Area: The giant cacti are stunning, like stepping into a desert world. The light and shadows are stunning from 3-4 pm.
Rainforest World: The misting period is from 9:30 am to 11:30 am and from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, creating a fairyland-like experience.
Araucaria Lawn: The lawn, accented by tall Araucaria pines, is incredibly photogenic and perfect for a picnic.
🚫 Tips to avoid:
Avoid entering the park through the East Gate or North Mountain Gate. They are far from the main area and require an hour's walk. Rainforest World can be crowded during misting hours, so arrive early to secure a spot if you want to take photos.
🚗 Transportation within the park:
We strongly recommend buying the 10-yuan sightseeing bus pass. The park is large, and the bus allows you to easily explore the highlights. The first sightseeing bus departs at 8:00 AM and the last at 5:00 PM (winter) or 5:20 PM (summer).
🎈Recommended Itinerary:
Enter through the West Gate → Araucaria Lawn (photos and rest) → Rainforest World (see the sprays) → Succulent Area (photos) → Flower Garden (view seasonal flowers) → Exit through the West Gate. The entire tour takes 3-4 hours, allowing you to take in all the beautiful scenery without backtracking!
Xiamen Botanical Garden is well worth a visit. The mist spray in the rainforest area is very stylish, and combined with the changing light, it's easy to capture stunning Tyndall-effect photos. The downsides are that there are too many people taking photos, the rainforest trails are narrow, and mosquitoes are rampant. The succulent area is mainly populated by various cacti, which are overly exposed to the sun in summer and can easily cause stings. Overall, the service in the park is very smooth, and the staff are very knowledgeable in providing directions and instructions.

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.

It's a good hike, with beautiful views. The round trip takes 40 minutes, and aside from being a bit hot in the summer, there aren't any other issues.
The waiting time is about 30 minutes (at 10 AM on a summer weekend).
We booked it in advance on Ctrip, which was very convenient. We waited in line for a short while before we got on. The cable car is quite long and offers a great view overlooking the botanical gardens. The other side is the ocean, which is a lovely view. It's air-conditioned and quite comfortable.

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!
