📸Hey kids👋, if you want to take life photos at Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, as a photographer who has been shooting at Zhuhai Chimelong for years, today I’m sharing some tips with you. Save this for later use🎉.
⬇️⬇️Here’s a little guide for your reference, come and copy it‼️
There are four hotels in the park:
1⃣️ Penguin Hotel: Closest to Ocean Kingdom
2⃣️ Spaceship Hotel: Above the Spaceship Park, take the elevator down directly to the park, but you need to take a shuttle bus to Ocean Kingdom
3⃣️ Circus Hotel: Closest to Chimelong Show Theater
4⃣️ Hengqin Bay Hotel: Has a water park
My personal suggestion is either Penguin or Spaceship! We chose the Spaceship Hotel; the rooms are small but decorated cutely, kids love it. Shopping inside the hotel is 15% off, don’t buy at full price in the park!!

10:00 Check in at the hotel and store luggage, then head straight to Ocean Kingdom ➡️ Whale Shark Aquarium ➡️ Beluga Theater ➡️ Polar Bear Pavilion ➡️ Penguin Pavilion ➡️ Walrus Pavilion ➡️ Afternoon rides
✅ Whale Shark Aquarium is a must! Seeing whale sharks live is amazing, and you can take the same transition shots as Crayon Shin-chan
✅ The glowing clownfish cave is super popular with long lines
✅ Check the Beluga show times in advance
✅ Bring a jacket inside the aquarium, it’s very cold indoors!
✅ It’s better to do outdoor rides after 3 or 4 pm when it’s cooler
