Chimelong Tourist Resort Guangzhou

Dear friends from afar, welcome to Chimelong Tourist Resort Guangzhou, known as the "Joy Card of South China"! Covering an area of over 10,000 mu (about 667 hectares), this wonderland of joy has grown from its founding in 1997 into a world-class tourist destination integrating wildlife conservation, theme park rides, and resort hotels. It attracts over 10 million visitors annually to explore its wonders. Below is a detailed introduction to its five core attractions, unlocking the stories and unique charms behind each.

I. Chimelong Safari Park: A Close Dialogue with "Earth’s Neighbors"

As Asia’s largest wildlife-themed park, it is home to over 20,000 rare animals of more than 500 species, and serves as a "warm home" for wildlife conservation. Its "Panda Paradise" gained fame for housing "Meng, Shuai, Ku"—the world’s only surviving giant panda triplets. When the three siblings were born in 2014, the survival of triplets was hailed as a "miracle of life," given that the probability of giant panda twins is already less than 1%. Today, their cute daily routine of munching on bamboo shoots has become a heartwarming memory for countless visitors.

The "Koala House" is China’s largest koala conservation base. The first batch of koalas, "Kaka" and "Lele," imported from Australia, have reproduced over ten generations here. Staff pick fresh eucalyptus leaves every dawn to ensure these "sleep lovers" get 18 hours of sleep in a constant 22°C environment, upholding this cross-continental "life promise."

The park’s "Self-Driving Tour Area" recreates natural habitats like African savannas and Asian forests. When groups of giraffes wander by, observant visitors will notice that each giraffe’s pattern is as unique as a human fingerprint. The park specially designed curved fences to prevent giraffes from bumping into right angles when bending down to eat—this detail embodies respect for animals. In "Golden Monkey Kingdom," a family of golden snub-nosed monkeys once participated in primate social behavior research; their ancestors helped scientists unravel the mysteries of "monkey group hierarchy." Now, they leap and forage freely in this paradise, enjoying a carefree life.

II. Chimelong Paradise: An Adrenaline-Fueled "Time Machine"

This dynamic theme park, with world-class rides and immersive storylines, is a "paradise for the brave." Its signature "Vertical Roller Coaster" draws inspiration from European medieval "knight spirit," with a track peak of 80 meters (equivalent to a 27-story building). When the train plunges vertically at 90 degrees, it feels as if the battle cries of knights echo in your ears. To enhance immersion, designers placed medieval knight sculptures along the track, creating the illusion of traveling back to ancient battlefields.

Another record-holder, the "Ten-Loop Roller Coaster," holds the title of "the roller coaster with the most loops in the world" with 10 consecutive loops. These loops are not just a technical breakthrough, but also a symbol of the good wish for "perfection." At night, colorful light strips along the track light up, making the ride feel like soaring through a starry tunnel—romantic yet thrilling.

"Jurassic Forest" is a must-visit for parent-child travelers, recreating the dinosaur world of 200 million years ago. The moving Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops models are 1:1 replicas based on fossil discoveries, with skin textures and tooth shapes highly consistent with fossil details. The park also invited paleontologists to participate in the design, ensuring the dinosaurs’ calls and movements align with scientific research: the T. rex’s call is a low-frequency sound simulated from its skeletal structure, deep and powerful; the Triceratops sways its body when walking, reproducing the movement characteristics of herbivorous dinosaurs. Additionally, the "4D Theater" screens the short film Panda Roller Coaster daily, telling the adventure story of Panda "A Bao" traveling through a magical world. Special effects like wind, mist, and vibrations make the audience feel as if they are journeying alongside "A Bao," delivering a fully immersive experience.

III. Chimelong Water Park: A Summer "Carnival Sanctuary"

As the world’s most visited water park for consecutive years, every design here embodies the "integration of nature and joy." Its iconic "Giant Flood Gorge" takes inspiration from the Amazon River floods, simulating a realistic "flood scenario"—every 90 minutes, 3-meter-high waves surge down from the top of the gorge, carrying foam as they rush forward, making visitors feel like they are in the rapids of a primeval rainforest. Designers also added tropical plants and rock landscapes on both sides of the gorge to enhance immersion.

The "Vertical Drop Slide" is a challenge for the brave: plunging from a 28-meter-high platform at a speed of 90 km/h, it draws inspiration from cliff diving in the U.S. Grand Canyon. However, designers made extreme safety upgrades: the slide’s inner wall uses a special non-slip material, and a buffer pool is installed at the bottom, ensuring visitors enjoy the thrill safely.

The "Kids’ Water City," designed specifically for children, is full of playfulness and cultural charm: the "mini slides" are shaped like "carps leaping over the dragon’s gate," which not only caters to children’s aesthetics but also carries the traditional Chinese meaning of "making steady progress." The walls of the "water maze" are painted with cartoon zodiac signs, allowing parents to play with their children while teaching them about traditional Chinese cultural symbols.

Every summer, the park hosts a "Water Electronic Music Festival," inviting internationally renowned DJs to perform live. With stage lights interweaving with splashes, visitors can dance to the rhythm in the water, making it the most lively summer carnival in Guangzhou. Notably, the park’s water quality testing standards far exceed international levels—water samples are tested every hour to ensure the water meets drinking water standards, allowing everyone to enjoy splashing with peace of mind.

IV. Chimelong International Circus: A Cross-Border "Art Feast"

This circus show, running for over 20 years, is Chimelong’s "cultural card," bringing together over 300 performers from more than 20 countries. Each act holds touching stories and dedication. The "Flying Trapeze" act originates from classic Canadian circus skills—performers swing on trapezes 10 meters above the ground, and the most thrilling "four consecutive flights" require two performers to connect accurately in mid-air. The performers who master this move undergo an average of over 5 years of training: 8 hours of trapeze practice and high-altitude balance training every day, all for a 10-second spectacular performance. The rapport between them is not just technical coordination, but also cross-linguistic trust: Nikolai from Russia and Carlos from Brazil, despite not sharing a common language, coordinate perfectly through eye contact and gestures, becoming the "golden partners" on stage.

The "Animal Taming Show" breaks the traditional model of "command and obedience"—trainers and lions/tigers interact as "friends": trainers comb the lions’ fur with their own hands, and tigers nudge the trainers’ hands to act coquettishly. During the show, lions roll and salute according to the trainers’ gestures, like well-behaved "big cats." Most of these animals have been with their trainers since they were cubs, building a deep bond. For example, the male lion "Leo" was rescued by his trainer after being injured as a cub; now, after every show, he takes the initiative to walk to his trainer and nudge his head gently to show affection.

The "Clown Interaction" segment is a "borderless transmission of joy." The clown team from France uses exaggerated movements and humorous expressions to make visitors of all languages and nationalities laugh. The veteran clown Pierre has performed here for 15 years. He says, "I don’t need to speak much—one funny face, one exaggerated fall, and I can make kids laugh and adults recall their childhood." Many visitors return to Chimelong years later just to find Pierre—this cross-time "joy promise" adds warmth to the circus.

V. Chimelong Bird Park: A Wetland "Bird Paradise"

As another practice of Chimelong’s "ecological conservation" concept, the Bird Park boasts over 200 mu of wetland landscapes and is home to over 10,000 rare birds of more than 300 species. It is one of Asia’s largest wetland bird conservation bases and a "living textbook" for the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature.

The most striking "Crested Ibis Island" houses the crested ibis—a national first-class protected animal once on the brink of extinction. In 2010, Chimelong imported the first batch of 6 crested ibises from Shaanxi. By simulating their original wetland environment and scientifically preparing feed, it has successfully bred over 50 offspring. The sight of these "Oriental Red Gems" skimming the water surface every day is the most vivid scenery in the park. Staff also regularly hold "Crested Ibis Conservation Classes," letting visitors observe the texture of crested ibis feathers under microscopes and telling the story of their journey from "endangered" to "rebirth," conveying the importance of ecological conservation.

The "Swan Lake" area is a gathering place for "bird families." Black swans, mute swans, and whooper swans swim in groups on the lake. The most special among them are the "black-necked swans," native to the Amazon Basin in South America and famous for their "loyalty"—they choose only one partner for life. It is common to see pairs of black-necked swans preening each other’s feathers, creating a warm scene.

The park also offers a "Bird-Watching Boat Ride"—visitors take boats through reed marshes, getting up close to see grey herons and little egrets nesting on branches, and cormorants diving into the water to catch fish. It feels like being in a primeval wetland, with bird calls and the sound of water filling the air, extremely soothing.

The "Birds’ Grand Choir" performance is the park’s signature show. The spectacular "bird migration" scene staged regularly every day is breathtaking: hundreds of flamingos, red-crowned cranes, and demoiselle cranes fly across the sky, forming a magnificent "wave of birds." Most of these birds were born and raised in the park, yet they still retain their migratory instincts. After the show, visitors can participate in "feeding interactions," feeding flamingos with special feed—these pink "cuties" peck gently at the food in visitors’ hands, and their soft touch delights both children and adults.

Notably, the park’s wetland landscape adopts a complete "ecological cycle" design: rainwater is filtered before flowing into Swan Lake to nourish aquatic plants, which in turn provide food and habitats for birds, forming a complete ecological chain. This allows visitors to intuitively appreciate the ecological wisdom of "lucid waters and lush mountains" while enjoying the scenery.

VI. Collecting Joyful Memories and a Promise of Reunion

Dear friends, as the sunset paints the roller coasters in gentle gold and the last beam of light from the circus slowly fades, our joyful journey is coming to a temporary end. Do you remember? At the Safari Park, we chuckled at the panda triplets’ cuteness and paused to admire the uniqueness of giraffes’ patterns; at Chimelong Paradise, we gripped the handrails, shouting out our excitement at the top of the Vertical Roller Coaster and "communicating across time" with "prehistoric giants" in Jurassic Forest; at the Water Park, we laughed side by side with strangers in the waves of Giant Flood Gorge and helped our children explore the fun of "carps leaping over the dragon’s gate" in Kids’ Water City; at the International Circus, we held our breath at the trapeze artists’ rapport and laughed until our eyes crinkled at Clown Pierre’s humor; at the Bird Park, we were moved by the crested ibises’ rebirth and watched swans trace gentle arcs on the lake.

These shining moments are like "happy blind boxes" carefully packaged by Chimelong, each holding a unique story—cross-border trust, gentle respect for life, courage to challenge oneself, and pure joy beyond language. Since the first scream of joy echoed here in 1997, Chimelong has always been a "collector of memories," and today, your figures are added to this collection.

Perhaps one day in the future, when you recall a time filled with laughter far away, you can return here. By then, the panda triplets may have new companions, the Ten-Loop Roller Coaster’s lights may have added new colors, Old Clown Pierre may still be making exaggerated faces on stage, and the crested ibis family in the Bird Park may have more cute chicks. Chimelong will always be here, with unchanging enthusiasm, waiting to start a new joyful journey with you. Finally, may this "Chimelong-style happiness" accompany every step of your travels, and may we meet again at the next feast
