Aside from the crowds and high prices, everything else is great. It's truly a lot of fun and an excellent choice for family trips. With a large group, you might not be able to see everything in one day and would need to go back a second time. If you have a generous budget, I recommend buying fast passes for the cable car and mini-train to save a lot of time.
Overall, it was good, and the service was excellent. The mini-train experience was great; we queued for an hour and a half, but thankfully it wasn't too sunny. The mini-train ride was 20 minutes long, and the scenery was beautiful. However, I felt the price of 89 yuan for the photos was too high, and the 65 yuan senior citizen ticket wasn't suitable either, as most people are 60 or older, and military personnel weren't exempt from the fee.
Worth buying, saves a lot of time, and the route planning is reasonable. Definitely buy this if you have children; it costs over 200 inside the park, this is a great deal, and there's no need to queue at the entrance.
The Chimelong Zoo is so large that you can’t finish walking around it even if you spend a whole day there. Fortunately, I bought a room package with the Chimelong Hotel in the scenic area, which allows me to enter the zoo multiple times. There are so many animals in various numbers and species, including many national treasures, both from our country and other countries, such as koalas, Malayan tapirs, Brazilian tapirs, etc. There are many street performances in the park, especially the big parade at 17:00 in the afternoon. It is very large and has many actors from various countries. The performances and interactions with tourists are great and very fun! I was tired from walking, and there were a lot of delicious food and drinks in the park, which tasted great. I had a lot of fun and happiness after playing for 2 days. I will come again next time!

Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park - Paradise of Endangered Species One day, I came to Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park, a park known as the "wildlife paradise". As a person who loves nature and pays attention to the protection of rare and endangered species, I am full of expectations and curiosity about this place. When you enter the park, you can feel the strong atmosphere of popular science and conservation here. Guide signs and popular science plaques can be seen everywhere, vividly introducing the ecological habits and protection status of various rare animals. For example, I saw the lovely triplets of giant pandas "Meng Meng", "Shuai Shuai" and "Ku Ku" in the Giant Panda Pavilion, and learned that this is the seventh generation of koala population bred by Chimelong Safari Park. In other exhibition areas, I also saw endangered species such as clouded leopards, white bears, black leaf monkeys, etc. These are rare animals carefully protected by the park. In addition to the wonderful animal exhibitions, Chimelong Safari Park pays more attention to popular science education. There are 3 popular science lecture halls and 13 popular science stations in the park, and various forms of natural education activities are carried out throughout the year, such as "World Wildlife Day" and "Bird Love Week". I attended an interactive lecture on giant panda protection, which not only taught me about the ecological characteristics of giant pandas, but also gave me a deeper understanding of the various threats they face. I was impressed that Chimelong Safari Park joined the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA) in 2019 and obtained the qualification of "Guangdong Provincial Doctoral Workstation". This shows that this is not only a place to display animals, but also an important platform dedicated to endangered species protection and scientific research. The rich popular science resources and professional research team in the park make it an important base for wildlife protection and popular science education in Guangdong Province and even the whole country. In general, Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park has made outstanding contributions to animal protection, breeding and popular science education. As an "animal paradise" dedicated to protecting rare and endangered species, it not only allows people to experience the charm of nature firsthand, but also arouses more people's attention and participation in conservation actions. This is undoubtedly a good place worth visiting for each of us.
