Guangzhou Chimelong: An Unforgettable Family Weekend with Wildlife Herds

Itinerary: October 20, 2023 (Friday) - October 22 (Sunday) Day 1: (Took Friday afternoon off to create a precious 2.5-day mini vacation). Took the high-speed train🚄 Xiamen North → Guangzhou East D3123 (14:17-19:00), then checked into🏨 Ji Hotel (Canton Tower Branch) Deluxe King Room (¥564). Arriving near nightfall, we quickly had dinner before admiring the dazzling night view of Canton Tower. A light drizzle fell as the October evening breeze carried a slight chill. Day 2: (Saturday! Main event: Chimelong Safari Park 🦒🦓🦁🐯🦛🐨) We set out early for🏨 Chimelong Xiangjiang Hotel (near Safari Park), having booked a Family Room (¥1980) with a package including unlimited two-day access for two to three parks (Safari Park + Happy World + Birds Park). After swift check-in and luggage storage, we eagerly headed to the park! Though shuttle buses🚌 run from hotel to park entrance, we chose to walk the short distance. First stop: the safari train! The unforgettable sight of animal herds🦓🦒 roaming freely (not just isolated specimens) makes Guangzhou Chimelong a must-visit for land animal lovers. (Note: Zhuhai Chimelong specializes in marine life with fantastic beluga shows.) 📍📍📍 Safari Park Guide (Classic North Gate Route) 🚂1️⃣ Enter North Gate → Head straight for safari train (core experience!) Rush to the train station at park opening! This signature open-air ride simulates crossing "five continents" wilderness without cages for maximum immersion. ⛰️ 2️⃣ Explore Qinglong Mountain (immersive themed trail) Near train exit begins this one-way trail featuring: • Jurassic Forest:🌿🦕 Realistic animatronic dinosaurs (some moving/roaring) in misty jungle - kids' favorite (might be scary!) • Rainforest Wonder:🦜🌴 Colorful birds (parrots, toucans) and primates in canopy habitats • Golden Snake Realm:🐍💎 360° glass tunnels showcasing rare snakes, frogs, and reptiles 🐅 3️⃣ Tiger Mountain (feel their majesty) Home to multiple tiger subspecies including rare white/golden/snow tigers. Don't miss: • Tiger Leaping Show: 🐯Hourly/half-hourly demonstration of tigers' power and agility as they jump for food 🦒 4️⃣ Giraffe Plaza (interaction time) Feed these graceful giants as they extend their long necks and tongues. 🚡 5️⃣ Cable Car (aerial views + return trip) Board at Panda Paradise Station (often glass-bottom cabins) for unique perspectives: • Spot hard-to-see ground activities • Marvel at free-roaming herds beneath you • Enjoy panoramic park views Day 3: (Sunday - half day) We wisely chose Birds Park (last three photos). The "Hundred Birds Flight" performance was breathtaking! After checkout and lunch, we returned via🚄 Guangzhou South → Xiamen North G1607 (14:55-18:58), arriving safely home🏠. Now our child has conquered both Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park and Zhuhai Chimelong Ocean Kingdom. May these laughter-filled adventures become treasured memories in his heart~[Heart]
