When you visit Chimelong, you can see the koalas up close, watch them leisurely munch on eucalyptus leaves and snooze contentedly, and even take in their laid‑back philosophy of life for a refreshing sense of calm and reflection. Come celebrate this special anniversary with our lovable koalas and make memories to cherish
