Chimelong Water Park – Guangzhou’s Splashy Superstar

Spread across Panyu’s sprawling resort, Chimelong Water Park holds the Guinness title of the world’s busiest and most-visited waterpark since 2013, drawing record-setting annual attendance . Its bold, ship-like architecture conceals a dizzying array of zones—from adrenaline-charged thrill rides to gentle lazy rivers. Three headline-grabbing attractions lead the charge: the Storm Double Cannon (twin 18 m trumpet slides linked by a giant clear tube), the Sky Double Surfboard, and the groundbreaking HydroMAGNETIC (Magnetic Cannon) Water Coaster, China’s—and the world’s—first launched water coaster that rockets riders from zero to 48 km/h across a 440 m track using magnetic propulsion . Beyond the thrill rides, the park caters to all ages: from the massive wave pool and interconnected “Family Raft Ride,” to gentle kids’ zones such as HUGE Kiddie Play Area, splash pads, fountains, and thematic lazy rivers . With over 25 water attractions, including bowls, tube slides, racing slides, and surf zones, it’s a complete waterworld adventure . Open from late April through November atop the heated autumn water season, Chimelong Water Park comes alive nightly with EDM parties and lights shows in summer . It’s conveniently accessed via Panyu’s Higher Education Mega Center, within a mega-resort that includes theme parks, hotels, zoo, and a circus . Pack swimsuits, sunscreen, and your appetite—the day here is a splashy feast of fun. #gzonbudget
