Overall feeling: Because it was the May 1 holiday, there were so many people, so it was empty in the morning. Special pavilions: Koala Pavilion, Snake Pavilion (the largest snake pavilion I have ever been to in so many zoos, with a lot of species). We are guests of the Panda Hotel, and we took the express lane of the cable car to save 2-3 hours of queuing! The staff in the park are friendly and the consumption is high. A meal of beef brisket rice in the White Tiger Restaurant costs 78 yuan.

By Qin |

There are north and south gates. You can take a taxi to the north gate, but the road is under construction. You can take the subway to the south gate, but you have to walk a distance. You can take the train and cable car to the north gate, but there is only a cable car to the south gate. The train has a fixed route. You can return from where you got on. Remember to sit on the right side of the train because many animals come from the right. This route is very cost-effective and the animals you see are the best! You can see tigers, lions, leopards, hippos, Asian elephants, etc. If you take the cable car, you can take a triangular route in the scenic area and then get off the cable car at the station.

The park is very large and you can visit it all, but you have to get up early and come when the park opens. I recommend going to the north gate and taking the train first and then the cable car. For animals, I highly recommend the white tiger and giant panda bases as well as the animals along the train route. I wish you a happy time.

Also, please note that you cannot bring in physical objects, and each person is limited to one bottle of water. But when I went there that day, I went in with a lot of students from a middle school organization, and it turned out that they didn't seem to take away the students' physical objects.

Chimelong Safari Park is located at 59 Xiangjiang Avenue, Panyu District, Guangzhou

No. 3, the ticket price is 300 yuan, which is not very cheap! There are two

There are two tour routes, one is a self-driving tour and the other is a walking tour.

You can fully appreciate and experience the environment in the zoo.

Animals are freer and more natural, not like being locked in a cage.

Now people and nature live in harmony!

By Fat man who eats and walks around |

When we arrived at Chimelong Resort, our first destination was Chimelong Safari Park. We bought the combined ticket for the Safari Park and the Circus online. The Circus did not offer any discounts for children, so we calculated that it was more cost-effective to buy online.

Chimelong Safari Park is a big paradise where children will never want to leave.

The pandas, cute koalas, domineering white tigers, mysterious and thrilling Golden Snake Secret Realm and Dinosaur Park all left a deep impression. When taking the small train in the self-driving area, you can get close to giraffes and other herbivores. Having said that, I think it is better to take the small train in the scenic area than to drive in the self-driving area. Driving by yourself is also very congested, and if there is no skylight, the view is also limited. It is better to take the small train with openness and explanations by staff.

I also want to focus on the animal performances. As the time was not arranged well, I mainly watched the African Discovery, which was amazing. The small animals came in batches like an army, and the children screamed excitedly. The climax was especially when the trainer released an African eagle, which flew over the audience and plundered the meat (the meat thrown into the air by the trainer).

It's just the length of the queue that drives people crazy!

By Xiao Dong |

The second stop of this Guangzhou trip, here are my sister's comments: The ticket to Chimelong is 300, it's cheaper to buy it online, and it's even cheaper to buy it in advance. This zoo is really the largest and most luxurious zoo I've ever seen. It is recommended that tourists go early in the morning. It seems to open at 9:30. After entering from the north gate, quickly take a small train to Africa, play first, and then come back, because Africa can only be entered by train, and it stops operating at 4:30. I missed it, which is a pity. After you come out of Africa, you can happily tour the rest of the park. It's basically a one-way street, don't worry about missing it, you can basically walk to it. When you walk to the mall, it means that this area ends. You have to go through the store and come out. I thought there was no way before. There are a lot of people on non-holidays. Try not to go on holidays, it's estimated to be crowded.

We went in as soon as the park opened at 9:30, from the north gate. When we arrived, we went straight to the train. We were the first group to take the train. At this time, there were relatively few private cars, so it would not prevent you from seeing the animals on both sides. After that, there were more private cars, and your view on the train would be blocked.

The cable car and Jurassic are not open until 10:30. You can stroll around after playing with the train. Line up for the cable car about ten minutes in advance and get off at the transfer station at Panda Park. Please note that the cable car will pass by the aerial pandas, so look carefully, or you will miss them!

After getting off the cable car, those with children can go to the Mengkushuai Park first, where there are 4D movies every half an hour and a small playground. Some projects have height restrictions. Go early as there will be fewer people queuing, and then see the animals after playing.

You can watch the show and then see the animals according to the schedule at the door. At noon, some animals are eating and some are taking a nap, and they are all very lazy. It would be better to watch them in the afternoon.

You can enter from the north gate and exit from the north gate, or you can enter from the north gate and exit from the south gate. There is a shuttle bus at the gate to the subway station. Of course, if you have good stamina, there is a shuttle bus from the Animal World to the Bird Park, which takes only 10 minutes, so you can visit both parks in one day.

The fast track in the Animal World is reserved for tourists staying at Chimelong Hotel. If you are traveling with children or want to visit the major theme parks in Chimelong, it is recommended to stay at Chimelong Hotel. The fast track can still save a lot of queuing time.

We went there from Nanhai and set off at 7 o'clock. The electronic ticket office was not open yet. We waited until 9 o'clock to get the ticket, but the zoo opened at 9:30. We played until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. We had lunch at the Panda Restaurant. The two children had a great time. We took the train twice to see the animals, so we didn't have to walk too hard. It is really cost-effective to buy tickets at China-TravelNote. Our family of four can save more than 100 yuan by buying a package.

1. For more than 10,000 people, the fast pass wristband for any project is sold for 50 yuan, and the fast pass wristband for the whole venue is sold for 150 yuan. It is sold at the entrance of the aerial cable car, the entrance of the small train and the queue entrance of popular games. It can be used for the small train, aerial cable car and 4D cinema, etc.

2. Small train: From Swan Lake, you can cross the bamboo bridge to the small train boarding point. There are various antelopes, wolves, bears, kangaroos, elephants, rhinos, tigers, giraffes, etc. in the small train area. The small train runs very fast and takes 20 minutes. There are guides. You must grab a seat on the right side.

3. Aerial Cable Car: There are 3 boarding points, Swan Lake Station (North Gate), African Grassland Station, and Panda Park Station. Each section takes about 20 minutes. There are voice guides inside the cable car. The cable cars are divided into glass-bottom and stainless steel-bottom models. Each cable car can carry up to 8 people.

4. Walking tour area: You can see the popular three panda brothers, koalas, mongooses, pygmy hippos, chimpanzees, flamingos, etc. There is also a children's paradise near the south gate, which is an area for children to get close to small animals, such as lambs, ponies, and rabbits.

The train was not a good experience. It was very fast, obviously to deal with people. I couldn't see the animals properly. There were private cars on the right. There were many animals on the right. Should I see the cars or the animals? It was not comparable to the Shanghai Wild Animal Park. We went there once for a special price and there were many people, but we didn't get on until after 4 o'clock. We didn't feel we had to deal with it. We drove slowly, at least we could see the animals carefully. However, the buses in Shanghai had to be seen through the glass. Chiang Mai Night Zoo was better. It was also this kind of train. It was divided into two lines, each line was at least 20 minutes, and you could feed while watching. Chimelong Safari Park was more fun than Happy World. The two animal performances I saw were very good. The aerial cable car was relatively fresh. It felt very different to see the animals from a high altitude.

By Little Grass |

Chimelong Safari Park is very large and has rich content. It took us a whole day to basically finish the tour. The overall feeling is very good, clean and orderly. Many animals can be viewed up close, such as giraffes. There are many places to eat and rest, and there are enough toilets, so tourists have a good experience. Visitors cannot bring food into the park, which avoids tourists feeding animals with various inappropriate foods, which is very good. Of course, it also increases the income from dining in the park and selling animal feeding activities. There are many staff members who are responsible for maintaining order and explaining. You can tell at a glance that the staff are all trained and will take the initiative to introduce animal species and habits to tourists. Animal explanation signs can be seen everywhere, which are concise and clear, with rich pictures, and are very suitable for children. The animal behavior display is also very good, very interesting, and you can learn a lot. There are also many interactions between animals and the audience, which is worth seeing.

Sea, land and air, let you understand animals from all angles.

I am traveling with the elderly and children, so I have been worried about the itinerary.

Enter through the South Gate and buy a fast-track ticket for 150 per person. You can queue directly at the boarding area for the train and aerial cable car.



route

1. Go to the cable car from the South Gate, tour the park, and then take the cable car under Swan Lake.

When taking the cable car, you must make sure whether it is a change line or a one-way line.

2. Take the train to see grassland animals and then return to the boarding point.

3. Take a route down Qinglong Mountain.

4. The animal kindergarten and the white tiger walked out together.

I gave up the trip to see the water birds at Swan Lake and the panda area. I visited so many places in the whole day and didn't even have to queue.

Feed the tiger, 50 yuan for a box of meat. The children loved feeding it and did it many times.

The road to Qinglong Mountain is a one-way loop once you enter it, and you have to complete it before you can get out.

The service at the zoo is very good. There are staff members at every section to remind everyone of things to note or introduce the origins of the animals' names, etc.



After returning to Chimelong, I won’t visit the zoo anymore...

By One-half Linda |

The whole day was spent at Chimelong Safari Park. Although I have been to many zoos, big and small, I never get tired of going to theme parks like this one. After entering the park, cute cartoon dolls came to greet me, wearing headdresses that matched the atmosphere of the park. Looking at the brightest smiles of every staff and volunteer in the park, I always maintained a relaxed mood despite the huge crowds during the Spring Festival.

It is recommended to enter the park from the north gate, because the train and cable car boarding points are at the north gate entrance. Take the subway to [Dashi Station], and then walk or ride about 2km to reach the entrance. Here is our itinerary. We first queued up to take the train, which passed through the wildlife area, where we could see alpacas, giraffes, zebras, antelopes and other animals.

After that, you will enter the pedestrian area and follow the signs to visit. You will pass by Jurassic Adventure, Rainforest Wonderland, Golden Snake Secret Realm, Baihu Mountain, Koala House, Asian Elephant House, Panda House, and finally walk to the South Gate to see Flamingo Island.

We entered the park at 9:30, so it was about 4pm when we walked from the north gate to the south gate. If you still have energy, you can take the cable car to the Panda Park station for another tour.

By Komorebi |

We visited the entire zoo in the order of monkeys - white tigers - giraffes - koalas - elephants - pandas - flamingos.

Enter from the pedestrian entrance on the left and first see the areas with various monkeys and gorillas.

After watching the monkeys, cross Swan Lake and go to Baihu Mountain to see various tigers.

We had lunch at Hushan, next to which was the white tiger diving performance. It was worth seeing and very exciting.

The animal kindergarten next to it, although small, is still very impressive.

By Xia Yan |

It's great to bring children here, and you don't have to wait in line for a long time like other amusement parks. The main purpose of this park is to see wild animals, and there will be no long waiting even if there are many people. We entered from the south gate and took the cable car to the Swan Lake at the north gate to take the train. The queue for the train was quite long, about 50 minutes. After taking the train, we had almost seen half of the content of the wildlife park. Then we hiked from the north gate to visit the rainforest, white tiger, koala, panda and other pavilions, returned to the south gate to take a circle of the circular line, and then watched the 4D movie again after returning to the original place. One day is enough, and it is still very fulfilling, and not much time is wasted.

By Cat_yoke |

To enter the zoo, you must first get a ticket, then go through security, and food is not allowed to be brought in. Then you can enter after checking your ticket again.

It has two entrances and exits, the South Gate and the North Gate. There are free shuttle buses to the South Gate from Metro Line 3 and Line 7 Hanxi Changlong Station; the North Gate can be reached by bus.

There are food courts around each museum, and the prices are quite expensive! But you still have to eat to fill your stomach.

The big sausage was 12 yuan each, it smelled good but tasted average, the price was relatively cheap in the park. The curry fish balls were 28 yuan each, which was the kind of fish balls you buy in the supermarket with some curry powder. I didn't eat the others, the pizza was 100+ as I remember, and the cheapest ordinary meal was 68.

We entered from the north gate this time because the train was on the right side of the north gate entrance. We went straight to the train as soon as we entered. ps. You must sit on the right side of the train. Basically all the animals are on the right side. Thanks to the big brother who was willing to change seats with us.

On the day we went, there were a lot of cars driving into the park. Because cars drive on the right in this area, many animals were blocked by them. If you have the opportunity to drive into this park, you must drive by yourself so that you can take your time to see it.

In addition to the small train, Chimelong also offers cable car tours, which is an experience not available in other zoos. There are three routes to choose from, but for adults, of course they will take the ring line.

You can see pandas in the sky, Swan Lake and the African grassland area on the cable car. It feels like taking aerial photos. The experience is great. If you are lucky, the bottom of the cable car is fully transparent.

It feels better to take the cable car to see elephants and giraffes. It really feels like I'm on the African grasslands.

After reading these, we just wandered around and started our Buddhist garden tour~

By Bazahei |

You can spend a whole day in the zoo. It is very, very large. You are not allowed to bring your own food. There is a restaurant in the zoo. The price is a little expensive, but it is acceptable. Because it was a rainy day, we brought raincoats and umbrellas. The subsequent showers proved the necessity of bringing raincoats. Guangzhou is not in the peak season, and there are not many people in the zoo. You can get on the train after queuing for a few minutes. There are 4 people in a row. It will stop in each animal area to let everyone take pictures, but you cannot get off. There are explanations on the train. Compared with other zoos, the best thing about Chimelong Safari Park is that it explains a lot of animal knowledge to tourists. The performances in all venues are also popular science, which is very suitable for bringing children.

By sienna_tam |

I bought an annual pass for two consecutive years and went there more than 20 times...

My son loves the train and cable car. It's very easy to take care of him. You don't have to walk. You can go in from the north gate and take the train. Then there is a cable car next to it to the Panda Park. You can play children's amusement rides. After lunch, you can take a nap in the restaurant. In the afternoon, you can play the cable car and train twice more when there are fewer people. Then you can leave~

Line 3 Feijia~

The North Gate is close. We took a small train for about 20 minutes to see the various free-range animals. The small train was not blocked by glass, and groups of animals were not seen in the Beijing Wildlife Park. After taking the small train, we followed the route to Qinglong Mountain, Golden Snake Secret Realm, etc. The next day we rented a car, 200 deposit, 100 rental, and we could return the car at the South Gate or the North Gate. The cable car was the favorite of the children, so we took the cable car for two days. There were not many people when we went, and there was no queue for the cable car.

By Miss Kaleidoscope |

We arrived around 8:40 and just kept hanging around the entrance. Luckily there were some decorations so I could take pictures with the kids. But it was really cold. We were shivering in the wind, with the Chimelong promotional song playing on loop in our ears...

I read in the guide that Chimelong security check requires bag inspection, and you are not allowed to bring food except drinking water, but you can quietly put it in your pocket, so I bought some snacks, including Snickers, which can quickly replenish energy, hahaha! Later, I was able to queue up at the gate before 9:30, and saw a few cute birds at the door

In fact, I think it’s okay to bring food. Just put it in an opaque bag. The staff will just check to see if there is any obvious food and will not ask you to open the bag.

After entering the park, we saw many people queuing up to take the train, so we thought we didn’t want to take it, it would be nice to just walk around. At that time, the staff also told us that those who wanted to take the train should line up here. We firmly said that we wanted to walk around, not take the train! Looking back, the staff’s expression at that time should be very contemptuous and incomprehensible. Later, when we rented a baby stroller and were ready to start visiting, we asked the staff where to go from. Only then did we know that taking the train can get close to the animals. This train is not a simple tour bus as we thought, so we hurried over to line up. . . . Sure enough, the most colorful thing in the wildlife world is taking the train. Seeing so many animals walking in a relatively free and spacious environment, so close to us, I feel so happy, and the picture is so spectacular! There are also staff members on the car to explain. Sitting on the train while watching the animals and listening to the explanation, it’s great!

By Mendy Yan |

The Animal World covers an area of more than 2,000 acres, which is similar to the Shanghai Wild Animal Park, but the map is more compact and you definitely cannot finish playing here in one day. There are all kinds of wonderful performances. Old banyan trees can be seen everywhere in the park, and even the green plants on the land are carefully cultivated. You can see the meticulousness of the scenic area. Open the door to the animals. This is a world where animals come first. It is not difficult to find that every animal here is full of vitality, living happily and healthily, unlike the animals in other zoos where they are all stupid and dull.

Tips:

A common problem in Chimelong attractions is that you can only bring mineral water and no other food. There will be strict security checks at the gate and there is a food storage area

In fact, the side pockets are not checked, so you can bring some food.



I highly recommend the free sightseeing train in the wild area. The best view is on the right side of the train, which is the side where you get on. Although it was Sunday, we took it twice and there was no queue. You can imagine what it's like on holidays...

Then we took the cable car to enjoy the panoramic view from the air. If we were lucky, we would take the glass floor car. The fully transparent glass floor made the world even better. The elephants here were very lively. Two elephants fought for food and performed various shows to please others. There are always regrets in life. In the end, we didn't have time to finish the tour because it was closing time.

As a senior animal lover, I have visited almost all the major zoos. Chimelong Safari Park is known as the No. 1 zoo in China. I must come to see the animals that I have never seen elsewhere. We bought the tickets on Meituan one day in advance. Compared with Dianping, Meituan is more affordable. Of course, if you stay in a hotel in Chimelong, you can buy a package directly on China-TravelNote. It is recommended for families. You don’t have to queue up for many projects. We picked up the physical tickets at the North Gate counter. Because it was the off-season, there were not many people in the zoo, so there was no queue for sightseeing buses and cable cars.



The entire Chimelong Zoo is really huge. For people like us who want to visit it in one day, we have to think about the route and strategy, which is basically - see the only animals there + our favorite animals. So I looked at the map and planned the route directly, and walked through more than 4 points to complete the target scene. For the specific itinerary, you can refer to my travel notes.

Chimelong Safari Park is a relatively large-scale wildlife park in China, with as many as 500 rare animals and various wonderful animal performances. There are too many choices, but the core of Chimelong is of course the wildlife park and the big circus! So, we only chose these two to experience, and leave the others for the next trip. I can only say that the animals living here are so happy. Giraffes, elephants, yaks, and antelopes can run in groups, and tigers, leopards, lions, and hippos are all well raised. Many uncommon animals also exist in groups here. Elephants, giraffes, zebras, ponies, lambs... All the animals that can be fed are fed, so hiyo In addition to animals in the park, there is a Qinglongshan Dinosaur World that travels through time and space. From time to time, dinosaurs can be found in the jungle, and they still move. Surprise? The monkeys in Chimelong Zoo can be raised outdoors in the woods. The birds here are also raised in the open air. There is no shed or net restraint. They don’t fly around. They are super cooperative and stop on the tree to accompany people to take pictures. I once suspected that they were fake birds. Chimelong Zoo is very big, and I rented a stroller because I was worried that Gege couldn't walk down. If you are bringing a baby to Chimelong, then don't worry about bringing a stroller. Every design here is thoughtful and very convenient.

We decided to walk around the pedestrian zone first, and then take the cable car or train to see the animals when we got tired.

I have only seen mongoose on TV before, and today I finally saw its true appearance. It is so cute. There are wonderful animal performances here. After watching the performances in the African Paradise, I took the cable car to see the animals. I haven't seen animals in the sky yet. Self-driving area: You can take a semi-open train to watch animals. Some of the animals on the train tour are cageless, and the viewing experience is particularly great! Take a car to the foot of Jinniu Mountain to visit the golden-haired antelope, one of the three major national animal treasures in my country. I have read a lot of guides, some of which say that you have to come early in the morning, take a taxi to the north gate after arriving at the south gate, and take the train directly from the north gate. I didn't try it and don't know how effective it is. If it is a holiday, you can consider it. We came on a weekday. We took the cable car to where we can take the train. We got on the train directly without queuing. Taking the train for a while not only tours but also rests, which is great! Warm reminder to everyone: It is best to sit on the right side of the driving direction, most animals are on the right! You can also drive this part by yourself. You can stop and watch at any time, but don't get off the car~ The next moment you will be in the South American rainforest to see llamas and sheep walking, and groups of animals running on the South African plateau. Here I would like to say that Chimelong's train and cable car are free, included in the ticket, and you can take them at will (a big thumbs up here). After watching the animals on the train, I went to the walking area to see the animals again. The Jurassic Forest saw the resurrection of dinosaurs in an unprecedented way, and played an exciting jungle adventure. It was an unprecedented experience, it was different! When the child saw this, he was actually afraid, but he didn't cry. He hugged us tightly, and when he came out, he said: I didn't cry, I'm very brave.

Don't rush for the white tiger show. Don't worry like I did about whether the white tiger babies would be exhausted. In fact, their performance is just "eating". It should be quite fun for them~haha! It's a good show~ After watching the pandas, we saw the animal carnival show. The "animal carnival" at 16:30 was very exciting for the children. "Tired but happy" was the final feeling of the one-day trip in Chimelong~

Chimelong Safari Park is the filming location for many variety shows. This time I came to Guangzhou, full of anticipation, and brought Yiyi to explore the magic of animals. Entering it was really like opening Pandora's box, which was fascinating. All kinds of rare animals completely filled our curious childish hearts.

After buying the "equipment", you can immediately see a large group of flamingos when you walk forward. The flamingo area is very spectacular, with deep red feathers and various colors contrasting with each other, which is very gorgeous. Not all flamingos are bright red, the underage babies are white with red, and pink and tender, which is also beautiful.

The biggest advantage of Chimelong Safari Park compared to other amusement parks is that the variety of green plants here is simply amazing, with more species and numbers than in many botanical gardens, and the trees are all very old. It feels like walking inside, surrounded by a green world. I highly recommend the Guangzhou season in late March and early April, which is neither cold nor hot, neither dry nor stuffy, especially after a light rain, the environment is lush and green.

We deliberately arranged our visit to the zoo on Monday, skipping the weekend. There were really very few people there, and we had a lot of fun there, without feeling crowded at all.

The zoo is divided into many small area themes according to different animal themes, from the panda theme to the time and space dinosaur tunnel, to the small train traveling through the park. In each area, there is a place suitable for children to play.

The aerial cable car in the zoo is very convenient. You can go directly from the south gate to the north gate where the train is located. You can see the whole park from the cable car, passing by Panda Park, Swan Lake, African World, etc. You can visit the whole park in a leisurely manner. It is especially suitable for taking children.

I really recommend you to go and have a look. The construction and maintenance are very good! It is very suitable for taking children. The surroundings are also very well done. Don't worry about not knowing how to get there. There will be various road signs when you get off the subway. Just follow the main group. On this way, you will pass by Happy World and Water Park in turn. Some people will be divided. The Wildlife Park is at the end. We bought the tickets in advance. There is an automatic ticket exchange machine at the door. It is very convenient. The tickets can be exchanged in minutes. After entering the park, go get a map first. There is a very detailed route map, and then start the hiking mode.

Flamingos are very strange. They raise their heads together and lower their heads together. It's very interesting. Monkeys are also cute. They will jump into the water from the shore and come over to eat, and they will also scoop water to drink. The parrots are really beautiful. The keeper said that they have working hours every day and get off work on time.

Every time you leave a theme park, there is a surrounding store filled with related toys. The zoo is well maintained, with no peculiar smell, which was unexpected. You can hardly smell the smell of giraffes and elephants. Thumbs up.

We went there on National Day. There were a lot of people in Chimelong, but it wasn't hot. There were tropical trees on both sides of the road, blocking out the sun. It was very comfortable to walk in. There was mist spraying from both sides from time to time. We walked relatively fast and didn't stay in one place for too long. We had a quick lunch. I looked up tips about Chimelong before going, and sure enough, just as everyone posted, a chicken leg and fries set meal for lunch cost 78 yuan::>_<:: I ordered one without hesitation because I was really hungry.

By Song Xiaoman |

In the afternoon we took a small train which was divided into several large areas along the way. We saw many animals moving around in their respective territories.

There are quite a lot of small trains (free, unlimited rides), we took it twice and didn't have to wait too long

There is a guide at the front of the car who will introduce the animals you see on the road. The car is half open, so we had to hold an umbrella to keep out the rain when it rained. Some people's seats were soaked and they could only stand to watch the whole way. There is a design in the zoo where you can feed the animals.

But you must buy special feed from Chimelong, please don’t feed it randomly!

Although the dinosaurs in the dinosaur park are all fake, the sound effects, body shapes, and fog are still very stimulating for a 2-year-old baby.

Here is a reminder that each section in Chimelong is a one-way journey. In other words, once you enter this pit, you have to finish it even if you don’t want to see it anymore. You can’t turn back. However, there are occasionally a few small paths designed along the way that can lead you out early (I remember the one in the Dinosaur Park the most clearly). So if you want to back out, pay more attention to the signs on the roadside, there may be a glimmer of "hope",

Finally, I took the cable car and finally experienced both land and air. The cable car takes a long time to wait, especially when we encountered heavy rain and it was temporarily suspended, so everyone should plan their time well.

We first took the shuttle bus from the subway station to the south gate of the zoo, then went through the hassles of getting tickets and taking photos, and finally took the 11 o'clock bus to the north gate. The shuttle bus to the north gate runs every half hour. After reading many travel notes, I still think it is more convenient to visit from the north gate to the south gate.

Take the train first after entering the gate. November is really the off-season. Even if there are students, you can get on the train almost without waiting. The experience summarized by countless predecessors tells us to sit on the right side and sit at the back. I have to say that the summary here is very correct.

By MayCatR |

There are two entrances to the Wildlife World. The north gate is suitable for self-driving friends to enter by car. One car seems to be 300 RMB. I haven't studied the other ticket purchase. Walking tourists enter from the south gate and pick up tickets at the self-service ticket machine at the entrance. The ticket code is in the text message. The most famous things in Chimelong Safari Park are ① the treasure of the park---the white tiger (there are only more than 300 left in the world, and half of the white tigers are in Chimelong, thanks to the heroic mother Kelly) ② the only panda triplets in the world---cool, handsome and cute, so the cartoon characters at the entrance of the park are the four of them.

The park is very large, well planned, and the area division is very clear. Each area is visited in order, and basically no backtracking is required. I think this is very good! The park is very large. If it is a parent-child day, it is very tiring. The two of us young people walked all the way down in one day and were tired! The biggest feature of the park tour is the aerial cable car and the small train. Although there were many people when I went, the cable car was diverted and queued for a while. The small train did not queue. It was probably crowded during the peak season! There are three aerial cable car stations, Panda Park Station, Swan Lake Station, and African Grassland Station. Among them, the African Grassland Station does not get on and off passengers, it is a transitional station; the Panda Park Station has 2 lines, one is a loop line that goes around the park, and the other is a round-trip single line to Swan Lake Station. When I went there, it was open after 11 noon. I entered from the South Gate, and first went all the way to the Panda Park Station. I took the circular cable car to see the Sky Animal World. There were more animals in the African Park, and I saw a giant panda eating leisurely in the Sky Panda Park. There was nothing much to see except the black and white swans in the Swan Lake. However, there was an event recently, and there was an animal parade in the African Park at 17:00, but I didn't go to see it. The starting and ending points of the train are both at Swan Lake Station. Try to sit on the right side when you get on the train. Most of the animals will appear on the right. I didn't watch all the performances in the park. I always feel that animals are cruel no matter what form of performance. Finally, I left the park from the South Gate.

The food in the park's restaurants and supply stations is very expensive, mineral water is 10-15 yuan, a sausage is 12 yuan, and a meal is over 60 yuan. But in order to prevent tourists from feeding the animals, bags are checked when entering the park, and no snacks are allowed. The animals are very strong and have a good living environment. White tigers, pandas, koalas, are all very cute~ You can buy snacks to feed them in Monkey Mountain, which is very spiritual. You can also buy bones to feed them in White Tiger Mountain. The most incredible thing is that I seem to like the golden python.

The Guangzhou Zoo is not as close as the Zhuhai Zoo, so you need to take a shuttle bus to the park. The hotel shuttle bus usually stops at the South Gate. You can enter from the South Gate and exit from the North Gate on the first day. As soon as you enter the park, someone will sell you a battery car for 90 yuan per person. You don't need to take it. It's better to stroll around by yourself. After entering the South Gate, first see the flamingos, bear forest, and chimpanzees, and then walk to the cable car boarding point, Panda Paradise Station. The cable car opens at 10 o'clock. You can show the hotel room card to take the fast lane. 12:30 Elephant Legend, after watching it, play bumper cars, carousels, and small trains in the children's park. You can take the cable car to go around the park first and overlook the entire zoo from a high altitude. About 30 minutes, return to the Panda Paradise Station. The sightseeing bus goes around the starting point and exits directly from the North Gate. After breakfast, continue the second day's wildlife exploration. Or take the circular bus to the South Gate, get off and walk directly to the Giant Panda Center, which contains introductions and pictures of giant pandas. After the show, we went to explore Huaguoshan to watch the show, which started at 10:45. After the show, we walked to see the three treasures of the day, the white tiger, the koala, and the panda. The white tiger diving was so exciting. It was unprecedented to see the moment when it pounced on me. The cute koalas were really lovable. They slept for 20 hours a day. Huanhuan and Lele in the koala house were the first two, and now they have multiplied to more than 50. The zoo spent a lot of money to store eucalyptus leaves as food for the koalas. It costs 100 yuan to stand on the steps at the back and take a photo with a koala. Even if it is a national treasure, don't do this. Let's take a photo from a distance. My son seems to prefer taking photos with fake koalas, saving money. Another 4D movie, which is shown every hour, check the time in advance and take the hotel door card to go through the fast lane. The plot of the movie is similar to Zhuhai, and the time is not long. Anyway, my son didn't see enough. After resting enough, we went to the Cute Cool Park to play for a while. There are mechanical toys for children. My son's favorite is the one that flies while lying on his stomach. I forgot what it is called and forgot to take pictures. Chaoyang Park requires queuing, but here there are not many people and there is no queue. We played twice. After leaving the Cute Cool Park, we went to the Panda Park Station and then took the cable car to the Swan Lake Station. Grandma didn't take enough sightseeing buses yesterday, so she took it again. I took my son to the Jurassic Forest to see realistic dinosaurs, the Rainforest Wonderland, and the Golden Snake Secret Realm. I didn't expect that this circle was really not close. I thought I could come back the same way, but I didn't expect to reach the Koala Pavilion in one go. After coming out, I changed my plan and went out from the South Gate. On the way, I also encountered a parade performance. After watching it for a while, I walked out of the South Gate like a defeated general.

Entered from the north gate, first took the train, not many people, the train was great, many animals walked on the road, felt within reach, every show will give small gifts, still have to sit in the front. After taking the train, went to the dinosaur park, it was a bit fake, the sound was scary, a good thing about the zoo is that there are people explaining in front of many animals, answering questions at any time, you can learn a lot, the south gate has a fast lane for hotel guests. 11 o'clock Huaguoshan, 11:30 Africa Discovery, 12:30 Elephant Legend can be watched in succession, not far away, then have a meal, 14 o'clock to see the Asian Forest

In the middle left front of the African Legend Theater, there is a place where birds can stand. Sit down and you can catch the dolls that fall from above. The basic feeding interaction is 30.

The feeling that Chimelong Safari Park gives me is really beautiful!

Just down the road, the flamingo trail, then the home of the orangutans and gorillas.

Speaking of tips, there is a cable car panda station near the South Gate. You can reach the panda station by passing the orangutan’s home.

Step 1: At Panda Station, take the "Circular Park Line" (the cable car has three stations in total, and does not stop at Swan Lake Station and African Grassland Station) to go around the park and return to Panda Station. You can enjoy the cable car and see the general scenery. Moreover, if you take the cable car early, you will not have to wait in line!

Step 2: Go back to Panda Station and take the "Swan Lake Line" and get off at Swan Lake Station. Swan Lake Station is located at the north gate, and the small train station is right outside the station. You can also see the animals in Swan Lake first, and then take the small train (the animals in Swan Lake are swans and other water birds, which can be seen on the cable car).

Step 3: Take the small train to the park. The small train is a wildlife viewing car. There are explanations, but it will not stop. You can stop at any time if you want, and you can drive in by yourself, but there is no explanation. Tip: There are 4 people in each row of the small train. You must sit on the right side of the car. Most animals are on the right~

Step 4: The train returns to Qinglong Mountain, where the Jurassic Era Exhibition is located. Then walk along the way! The Micro-animal Pavilion, various birds, White Tiger Mountain, Koala Park, Boonie Bears, Panda Pavilion, etc., in order from north to south, and finally you can walk back to the South Gate! Perfect!

You can overlook the animals from the cable car, but it is not easy to take pictures.

When riding a train to see animals, it’s better to sit on the right side!

Enter the gate of Jurassic World and feel the ancient fairyland. There are various dinosaur models inside that can move, roar and spray water!

Qinglongshan souvenir shop, there is a souvenir shop as a must-go when you come out of each area. The marketing is great, for tourists, it is integrated with the zoo, and you don’t feel bored at all. It is a feast for the eyes! And there are big dolls for photo taking in each area.

After leaving the Jurassic Exhibition (Qinglong Mountain), you will arrive at the rainforest, where birds are waiting for you! The parrots are real! Alive! Very beautiful~

Most guides say to enter from the north gate first and take the train first. Since everyone chose this, the queue for the train must be spectacular, so after checking many recent guides, I decided to go the other way and enter from the south gate. In theory, you can take the cable car to Swan Station to take the train, or take a circular tour back to Panda Station. However, the cable car was under maintenance that day and the opening time was uncertain. The staff kept guiding tourists to go forward, so let's continue walking.

I spent 10 yuan to buy feed (actually toast) by the Swan Lake, and let the children experience feeding the swans. In the koala house, except for those eating, everyone was sleeping, and occasionally one opened its eyes and stared blankly.

It was a little after four when we left the park. We had seen everything we wanted to see, which was earlier than expected. And we were not as exhausted as we had imagined, nor did we collapse from walking around Ocean Park.

Chimelong Safari Park is known as China's most international wildlife park. It is the world's largest wildlife theme park with the largest animal population. Most animals have formed large populations. Zebras, pandas, wildebeests, giraffes, sika deer, Asian black bears, macaques, Asian elephants, African lions, tigers and other animals have formed large populations of dozens or even hundreds of individuals, and are still growing and developing, which is rare in the world's zoos. The park features large-scale wild animal populations and self-driving viewing. It integrates the protection, research, tourism viewing and popular science education of animals and plants, and has a large area of original ecology of subtropical rainforest in South China.

I went to Guangzhou to visit my sister. My sister bought me a ticket. After entering the park, I took the small train first, and then slowly watched other animals. It was so fun to feel the animals eating and running around you at close range. There were zebras, giraffes, etc. It was more suitable for children to play. The food in the park was half as expensive as outside. Try not to buy anything inside. There are also rare animals such as koalas, leopards, and white tigers. Recommended

By Time Machine |

Chimelong Safari Park covers a total area of more than 2,000 acres, with three cable car stations and a small train tour area. The three treasures of the park are koalas, white tigers and giant pandas. The entire park has two entrances, the south and north. Although many people on the Internet recommend entering from the north gate to take the small train directly, I think there is no obvious difference between the two gates after the overall tour. We chose the south gate twice to enter the park. The shuttle bus from Chimelong Hotel to the Safari Park also only stops at the south gate. The shuttle bus from Bird Park to the hotel will stop at the north gate station when passing by the Safari Park.

After entering the park through the North Gate, on the right hand side (the khaki area on the left in the above picture) is the small train area. The entrance and exit of the small train are the same, both next to the Swan Lake Cable Car Station. After entering the park through the South Gate, you can go directly to the Panda Cable Car Station, and the giant pandas that guard the park are also near the Panda Cable Car Station. The Panda Cable Car Station can send out routes to the North Gate Swan Lake Cable Car Station and the circular route that passes through Swan Lake and the African Grassland Station on the lower left and stops at the Panda Cable Car Station. The Swan Lake Cable Car Station only has one route to the Panda Cable Car Station. The African Grassland Station is located in the small train area and is only a stopover station, and no passengers get on or off.

Therefore, whether you enter from the south gate or the north gate, you can visit the entire park in one day after a reasonable plan. By the way, there will be more people queuing in the train area in the morning and the waiting time will be longer. After 2 pm, you can basically get on the train at any time.

Chimelong Safari Park covers an area of more than 2,000 acres. It is a large original ecological zoo with more than 460 species and more than 20,000 rare animals. It also integrates three animal viewing modes: walking to see the animals, riding in a car to see the animals, and taking an aerial cable car to see the animals.

Tour route: North Gate - Small Train Sightseeing Area - Animal Kindergarten - Baihu Mountain - Swan River - Huaguo Mountain - Mengshuai Cool Paradise - Loop Trail - Asian Food - Panda Paradise - Golden Monkey Kingdom - Qinglong Mountain - Jungle Wild Fun Parade - Giraffe Square - Koala Park - Asian Elephant Park - South American Exploration - South Gate. We played two rides.

The whole itinerary was a bit circuitous, but we basically visited all the highlights of the scenic area.

By DESTINY |

Chimelong Safari Park is an old brand in Guangdong's zoo industry. It was opened in 1997, which means I was still in primary school at that time. I came here as a child, and then I came with my nephew. Now I bring my son here. It really spans several generations.



But its long history does not mean that its facilities are old. Good management and maintenance, original design and layout, novel ways of touring, and rich animal species have kept it timeless and invincible for many years.



【Tips】

⭐1. Not all scenic spots are open at 9:30, especially the central park which is open at 11:30. The official did not specify the specific scope, and the customer service did not explain it clearly. It should refer to the part from Baihu Mountain to Panda Park, but since we entered the park at nearly 11:00 on both days, it is impossible to verify. According to the above opening hours, if you enter the park at a certain time, you may only be able to visit the ride area and Qinglong Mountain first.

⭐2. It is recommended to visit the boarding area first and then the walking area, because even if you travel during off-peak hours, the boarding area is the only area where you have to queue up. The later you go, the more crowded it will be, and it is also the first area to close.

⭐3. You can choose to drive or take a small train in the boarding area, and you cannot get off the train during the journey. The advantage of driving is that you can control the speed and stop by yourself, but the disadvantage is that the driver cannot freely see the animals and needs to "buy tickets" for the vehicle (300 yuan on weekdays and 350 yuan on special days). Taking a small train allows everyone to watch freely and there are explanations throughout the journey, but the disadvantage is that you cannot control the progress.

⭐4. Due to the reason in point 2, it is recommended to enter from the North Gate (the hotel shuttle bus only goes to the South Gate, and you need to transfer to the North Gate), because the train boarding point is near the North Gate. However, since the cable car is open after 10:30 and can shuttle between the North and South Gates, it doesn’t matter which gate you enter after 10:30.

⭐5. Except for food and water for infants and young children, the park prohibits bringing in food and drinks from outside. You need to go through a "security check" when entering the park (how strict it is depends on your luck). You can only eat at the restaurants in the park. The average cost per person is 68 yuan, which is a bit expensive, but it's okay for the park.

⭐6. If you are taking young children to play, you must bring a stroller or a baby stroller, otherwise both adults and children will be exhausted. The entire park has barrier-free access, and the cable car can be pushed directly into the stroller. It only needs to be folded when riding the train, which is very convenient. The park also provides stroller rental services, joie, a big brand, the rental price is unknown.

⭐7. The park implements a "one-ticket-for-all" system. Tickets will no longer be checked after entering the park, but other additional expenses such as food, feeding animals, taking group photos, etc. are generally more expensive. It is recommended that everyone consume rationally.

⭐8. Except for the White Tiger Diving, other performances are less frequent and the parade is smaller in scale. It is recommended not to pursue them deliberately and just let nature take its course (we didn’t watch any performances because we were with the children).

⭐9. Don’t think you can take your time to see the animals after the park closes at 6:00. Basically, the animals will go back to the cages after 5:30 and you won’t be able to see them in the exhibition area anymore.

⭐10. If possible, it is recommended to travel during off-peak hours, otherwise the trip will be overcrowded and the travel experience will be greatly reduced.

Chimelong Safari Park has a magical number of animals and models placed in a not particularly large area without being crowded, and the route is very reasonable, so you don’t have to worry about missing anything (this is a comparison with the Safari Park in Daxing, Beijing)

The train is a must-take, and the queue is worth it. Of course, if you are traveling with three or four people, it is still recommended to drive in. Although the cost of the car = the ticket for one person, you can stay longer next to your favorite animals to take pictures or even touch them, which is still worth it. If you are alone, I still recommend the train.

After coming out, you can choose to take the cable car around, which is included in the ticket. You can also follow the road to Qinglong Mountain. The dinosaurs inside have swinging models and simulated sounds, which is a paradise for children. After that, there are small animals, monkeys, birds, tigers, koalas, pandas, and giraffes that you can feed yourself. It's a lot of fun.

The route will not let tourists miss the scenery, and there are enough rest stops/shops/restrooms, which is also very comfortable.

We bought a 2-day ticket for the hotel, which had an express entrance, which was awesome. On the first day, Friday, the weather was cloudy and very cool, and there were not many people. In fact, we basically saw everything in one day. On the second day, Saturday, the sun was very bright, and there were so many people that we just took the train and the cable car. It's very big inside, so you need to walk slowly. You can enter from the north gate first, take the train and walk to the south gate, and then take the cable car.

The best attraction in Guangzhou~ If you haven't been to Chimelong, you haven't been to Guangzhou. If you come to Guangzhou, you must go to Chimelong~~ It really feels like an animal world! Ordinary zoos can't compare~~

By Ning Xiaoxin |

As soon as you enter the north gate, you can see the cable car station and the train station. We made the mistake of taking the cable car. Friends who want to experience the cable car in all aspects are recommended to visit the Panda Station near the south gate first. From there, you can take the cable car around the park, which is basically a bird's eye view of the entire park. The first cable car we took was only one-third of the section, and there were still many people queuing. The most important thing is that if you want to take the train to visit the beast area, you have to walk back, so we walked back a lot. I always feel that the animals living in this zoo are really happy, especially those animals that can move freely, without worries, and take a leisurely walk every day to rest and wait for feeding.

The tickets are not cheap, but I had a good experience. There are many kinds of animals and various facilities. There were few people. The management method here is worth learning from many zoos.

Although the food is not cheap, it tastes good.

By A cabbage is sleeping |

Chimelong Safari Park (arrived at about 11am, entered from the north and exited from the south, took a small train from the north gate, and left around 3pm. The food in the park is expensive, and you can't bring food into the park, but it seems ok to bring some dry food)

It is recommended to take a small train to see the grassland area and wild animal area that are only accessible by car, and then hike to other areas.

[Highlight] The white tiger baby here is so cute! ~~~

Day 2 in Guangzhou Wildlife Park. After breakfast, get off at the south gate of the park shuttle bus.

After checking the ticket, we entered. The weather was very hot and humid. My wife and children were sweating profusely after walking a few steps. We first took the cable car from Panda Park Station to the North Gate to take the small train. Hotel guests can get a fast lane by showing their room cards to take the cable car, which saves a lot of time. It was a pity that we didn’t take the transparent cable car. After arriving at Swan Lake Station, we found that the queue for the small train was very long, and even buying fast tickets took a while. We gave up first and went to Qinglong Valley. The sound and some dinosaur models were good, so you can go shopping.

After coming out, I prepared for the walking route. Chimelong is well designed, with scenic spots one after another without wasting time. I walked all the places I should walk. The hot weather and the large number of people did affect the experience. In the afternoon, the sky was beautiful and the wind was rolling. Although the rain was negligible, it was obviously much cooler. After coming out of the elephant park, I took my child to the children's playground for a while. I was hungry and went to the Panda Restaurant to ask for a children's meal for my child. After eating, I felt sleepy and took him out quickly. I stopped an electric car when I went out. It was 30 yuan per child for children over 1 meter.

Get off the Beimen train. There are fewer people in line at this time. It took about 15 minutes to get to the front. A family of three sat in one row. It was a good experience. The train and the self-driving car were on the same route. There were explanations without stopping in the middle. The experience of about 25 minutes was not enough. You can stop and watch what you like when you drive, but the train is not conducive to taking pictures.

There was still enough time, so we went to experience the cable car line after the train. The hotel guests went directly to the front, but unfortunately there was no transparent carriage, which was sad. The main thing in the air was to see the wildlife area from different angles, and it was better to walk to the walking area to see pandas and koalas. Back at the Panda Park Station, we were exhausted and didn't wait for the shuttle bus. We took a taxi back to the hotel for 30 yuan, and we didn't bargain.

I went to the safari park in April 2016. It was very hot that day, and I was sweating profusely. I was able to walk around the safari park in half a day. I got nine of the ten stamps on the Animal Planet passport, and the remaining one needed to be stamped by car. Is it easy to be a mother?! (The child was very satisfied, and my hard work was not in vain.)

The white tiger, the treasure of the town, is worthy of its reputation; the little woolly monkey cub is so adorable; the world's only panda triplets live with their mother; the 2-year-old gorilla Liumao is still a child with no sense of security, and always holds the staff's hand... There are so many stories about animals.

The tigers in Chimelong are very strong and their fur is very beautiful. It reminds me of the poor paper-thin tigers in our zoo. They are definitely not as well fed as the tigers in Chimelong [pouting]. . . Chimelong Safari Park is worth taking your children to visit

By The shit cooker behind the scenes |

1. Guangdong Chimelong is divided into Guangzhou Chimelong and Zhuhai Chimelong. The zoo is in Guangzhou, very close to Guangzhou South Railway Station. Unfortunately, there are few direct trains from Xiamen to Guangzhou South. It is recommended to take Shenzhen for transfer, as there are many trains!

2. The Chimelong ticket purchased online is a one-time ticket for the day, which only allows one entry into the park. Chimelong's affiliated hotels have package tickets for purchase, which include 2 adult tickets for 2 days of unlimited entry and exit in the park, and include the VIP express channel for the aerial cable car. If you don't stay in the hotel and want to use this channel, you need to buy a bracelet for 150 yuan. If you stay in a Chimelong affiliated hotel that is not in the park, there is a shuttle bus. The shuttle bus has a departure time. Please ask the hotel for details. It is recommended to download the Chimelong official website app for the package. You don't need to go to the hotel to exchange tickets, you can pick up the tickets directly at the entrance of Chimelong!

3. Food is not allowed in the park! But you can bring it in private😏. The inspection at the entrance to the park only checks the largest compartment in the big bag. Children carrying small backpacks by themselves will not be checked. Even if they are checked, it doesn’t matter if there are snacks! Park sausages are 20 yuan, Chimelong juice is 35 yuan, and set rice is 80 yuan

4. You can bring water and drinks as long as you don't mind the weight. A bottle of mineral water in the park costs 10 yuan. I personally recommend that each soldier carry a bottle of mineral water + a bottle of Pulse + a bottle of Red Bull. Drinking water alone in summer cannot replenish the lost elements in the body, and sports drinks are needed to replenish them quickly.

5. It is recommended to enter from the north gate and exit from the north gate. The south gate is the passage from other parks to the zoo. Why is the north gate recommended? Because it just opens early in the morning, not all facilities are open, and the small train tour of the zoo is the first to open, you can take it first. There are few people at that time. When taking the small train, remember to sit on the right side, that is, when queuing to get on the train, the last one in line, and the right side when getting on the train. There is no good thing at the front row at this time! The small train does not have a VIP channel for hotel guests, so you have to queue up! After visiting the small train, get off and take the cable car. Swan Lake Station is the cable car station where the small train gets off, but it does not have a lake line. You need to take it to Panda Park Station to have a park line, so the hotel accommodation VIP channel shows its effect. If you are lucky, you can take a transparent glass-bottomed cable car! Don't wear a skirt 😁, Swan Lake has a telescope, and you can see your face clearly on the cable car!

6. After taking the train, it takes almost half a day like taking the cable car. You can arrange a walking tour of the park in the afternoon. Driving into the park will cost 300 yuan more per car, but you just don’t have to queue up to take the train. You still have to drive your car to the parking lot to enter the park on foot, that’s all.

7. Walking tour: You can basically reach the cable car at Panda Park Station from the north gate. You can take a break and take the cable car back to Swan Lake Station to take another route. Because you are tired after walking, take a break on the cable car! The wind is strong at high altitude, very comfortable!

8. It is recommended to bring children over 3 years old and under 100cm in height, because there is no entrance fee, but some of the park's amusement projects for children cannot be played, but not many. One day is really not enough to play. There are some children's amusement facilities in the park. If there are many people, you need to queue up, and there are opening hours. It is not open when the park opens. It is recommended to have one weekday + one holiday, because there are fewer people on weekdays and you can experience the projects that require queuing first, while there are more people on holidays, so you can enjoy the lively park and many performances! There is a word limit here

As a tourist and employee, I have experienced that the attitude towards employees is too casual, and the treatment is poor. They rarely look at things from the perspective of employees and tourists. They don't love animals very much. When tourists ask questions, the lower-level employees basically don't know or don't answer. As for tourists, I went to its predecessor, Xiangjiang Zoo, in the early 2000s, and then went there again in my freshman year after the college entrance examination.

Attractions Review Series:

Surrounding infrastructure

Transportation: Four stars

Because it is a newly developed area, the roads are wide and traffic is smooth, and I did not see any large-scale congestion during the three days I stayed there.

The subway station [Hanxi Changlong] can be reached directly. There is a shuttle bus available when you exit the subway station.

I deducted one star because when we came out of the subway station and entered the shuttle bus area, there were a lot of people blocking us and kept asking us if we wanted to go to Chimelong, take us to Chimelong, buy tickets for us, etc. As a result, we missed the opportunity to enter the shuttle bus station in order to avoid these people and had to walk to the park gate. On the way back, we took the shuttle bus at the gate and realized that the place we avoided was the shuttle bus station.



Accommodation: Samsung

There are many new buildings nearby, and most of them are small two-story duplexes with children's rooms.

The houses are relatively new and the decoration is very modern.

We chose a mid-priced B&B.

Although it is a homestay, it is actually managed by a hosting company. When we entered the door, the cleaning lady was cleaning.

In the subsequent accommodation experience, this house revealed its two weaknesses. It had neither the detailed treatment of a hotel's unified management (hotels of the same price range definitely have better details), nor the intimate and warm feeling of an ordinary B&B. The provision of daily necessities was very simple, and the hygiene and bedding were very sloppy.

However, there are not many cost-effective accommodation options around, so I can only give it three stars.



Please refer to my travel notes for more information.

This zoo is very inexpensive and not worth the 300 RMB price. The service is not bad, but the information is not clear and the directions are confusing. The facilities are closed at 5 o'clock. There are few animal species. Apart from the white tiger, there is nothing new. It is better to go to a foreign zoo, even in Southeast Asia, it is not worth it.



It's completely marketing.

By Linda MM |

It is the best wildlife park in China. The Chimelong Group is really amazing.

By China-TravelNote users |

It's so beautiful. It's really beautiful. It's super fun. I will come back next time.

By Small vegetable garden |

It's fun, the little animals are cute, the koalas are super cute

By Shuangyue Bay-Hao |

Snorkeling on the tourist islands that must be visited in Shuangyue Bay is worth appreciating and worth experiencing the new feeling on the sea (see picture number)

By Blue Moon V Sorrow |

There are so many people, it is bigger than Guangzhou Zoo, and there are more species. In Chimelong Animal World, you can get close to many animals, which is a great experience~

By orchid |

Enter the park at 11 am and leave at 5:30. Basically, I went around ~ it's worth it to bring children.

By 🌻 Yao |

Compared with Zhuhai Chimelong, Guangzhou's Chimelong facilities are not outstanding, but this does not hinder the viewing. Whether it is Zhuhai or Guangzhou Chimelong, the service is really very satisfactory. The staff always answer questions with a smile. The toilet smoking area can be seen everywhere. If you bring your children, you can basically solve the hygiene problems within a 3-minute walk. There are also classroom activities for little caregivers, which need to be booked in advance on the official website. It is about 468 per person. Only children can participate. You can get close contact with animals such as little tigers and koalas. I personally think that this experience is precious for children. After all, there are not many opportunities to get close to these rare animals. In addition, there are teachers explaining animal classes, so that children can learn about animals in practice. Knowledge ~ Very good! Thank you Chimelong, whether in Zhuhai or Guangzhou, has left us precious memories~

Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park has a variety of interesting facilities suitable for children, such as the Super Monster Bowl, the "Giant Python" slide, the Wonderful Parent-Child Water City, etc. Children can play. The small animals in Chimelong Safari Park, and the animal island surrounding the atrium in Chimelong Hotel, snow tigers, flamingos and other rare animals are definitely worth seeing for children. You can also take your children to see the Chimelong Circus, which will definitely keep your children's eyes fixed.

Tickets can be booked online first, and it is very convenient to pick up tickets on site. There are many kinds of animals, and you can see almost all of them according to the recommended tour route. My personal favorite is the giant panda!!!

By The Invisible Wind |

The park is very large and it takes a whole day to visit it carefully. It is a whole day of non-stop! The difference between this zoo and other zoos is the white tiger, the pandas that don't sleep, and the baby animals! Super cute!

By Xinyuan |

The wildlife park is worth visiting. I took three elderly people in their seventies to play there for a day. Although it was tiring, the experience was very good. We saw many animals we had never seen before. I think it was worth the ticket price!

By Cats and dogs |

The first choice for family outings, there are many animals and it is very lively

By When I was flying, I had a light dream. |

Chimelong Safari Park is the largest wildlife park in Asia. There are many kinds of animals in the park. It is divided into two parts: the self-driving tour area and the walking tour area. It doesn't matter if you don't drive yourself. There is a small train in the park for tourists to take, so you can watch the wild animals up close.

By The sky is big and the earth is big |

It is indeed a zoo worth visiting, although the price is still expensive. There are so many people on holidays.

By wangye421 |

The expectations for Chimelong were high, which resulted in the experience not meeting expectations. There are three main problems. There are too many people, and there is nothing to see. You have to queue for hundreds of meters to take the cable car. When you see animals in three layers, it is impossible to stop and take a closer look. Second, there are too many businesses, and the ratio is one to one with the animals. I wish I could go into a business every time I see an animal. I feel that the efficiency of the tour is very low. Third, the map is not clearly marked, resulting in many detours. For example, each small unit is composed of animals + shopping + catering. It seems that you have arrived, but you can only enter by finding the entrance. However, the catering target is often large, and the entrance target is small. After finding the catering, you have to go around left and right to find the animals, and you have to walk a lot more invisibly. Let me talk about a few more advantages. There are many animals, and you can often see groups of animals. Moreover, the animals are very lively, and you can see the animals in a more all-round way, looking down, looking straight, looking up, etc. It is worth going when there are fewer people.

There are a lot of people during holidays. There are koalas, which are only found in Chimelong in China. There are also many white tigers, etc. It is worth seeing.

By Soap is slippery |

The most important thing is to put it first. If you come here during holidays when there are many people, there are aerial cable cars and small trains to visit instead of walking. If you enter the park and plan to take it, then after the park opens at 9 am, take the map at the door and go directly to buy the fast track ticket, 1 person/50 yuan, one time use. The location is at the aerial cable car Swan Lake station. If you see my words today and buy and use them, you will thank me for the rest of your life. I came at the beginning of the year so there are a lot of people, the queue is very crowded, and I queued for an hour and a half to take a ten-minute train. He 🐴 wanted to curse. There is also a train that costs 188 yuan per person, no queue, and that can take you to see it slowly, a total of 40 minutes.



I don’t know if the comments above are written by elementary school students, they are written by ghostwriters in Chimelong, they are full of exaggerated nonsense, without any useful information!!!



I can only give this trip three stars. First, the overall feeling I got was that there were really a lot of Chinese people, and there was nothing special about the rest. Second, it was perfunctory. I've taken the train to the Shanghai Zoo before, and there the staff would stop the car to feed the animals, so you could watch them up close, and the car would drive slowly, but this was just a formality.



Finally, I would like to add that it is the fourth day of the first lunar month and the temperature outside is 25 degrees during the day. Please remember to check the temperature here before you come and bring your clothes. Guangzhou is relatively hotter than other places.

How should I put it? It was actually pretty good, but I couldn't help but follow a boring person, and the whole trip became boring.

By D'Artagnan began another chaotic life. |

Fun ~ It's perfect for a family trip. You can play it in one day or two days.

By rabbit tiger beast |

I went there before the winter vacation officially started, so there weren't too many people. The experience was good and worth a visit. The kids didn't want to go back after having fun. I didn't write about it in the guide before. The cable car doesn't start until 10:30, so it's useless to go early.

By Don't mess with the baby |

The most fun zoo in China is Chimelong. I've been there twice and I want to go again. The biggest feature of the animals there is that they are very happy. You can see that the animals are happy from the bottom of their hearts, haha, you will know when you go there.

By Yary's Travels |

It is really a must-visit in Guangzhou. I especially like the design of taking an open train to visit the park, which allows you to have direct contact with the animals without having to go through various glass.

By Royal Treasure Forest |

You must take the train, otherwise you won’t be able to see some animals…

The animal feed is in the form of small biscuits, super yummy!

You can bring in selfie sticks and delicious food if you hide them yourself.

25,000 steps. Under the guidance of Xie Da, we entered and exited the north gate. We visited almost all the attractions in the zoo in 7 hours, and finally went to the Panda Hotel to sleep. [Puppy]
