Qingyuan | First Time at Chimelong Forest Kingdom

|First time at Chimelong Forest Kingdom. Qingyuan Chimelong just opened, so my friends and I went to check it out. It was freezing in the winter at this remote place. The theme of this Chimelong is forest and African savanna. I think it would be better to wait a while before visiting, as there are still many things to improve. 🚗Transportation: It's quite remote, so I recommend driving. When we went, the parking guidance was not good, so everyone parked on the side of the road. After parking, we were confused about where the entrance was 😅. After a day of playing, the parking fee was over 20 yuan. 🎫Tickets: Adult tickets are 260 yuan. Now there's a discount, and women's tickets are 195 yuan in March 🙃. I can't laugh. 🍜Dining in the park: There are giraffe, lion, bug, and castle restaurants. Most set meals are 50–70 yuan. We went to the giraffe restaurant and ordered braised pork rice and beef rice sets with a bottle of Sprite. It was just okay, edible, but there were too many people indoors, so we had to eat outside in the cold wind. It was a bit miserable ⚠️. My friends and I thought the grilled sausage was not tasty. 🚂Steam train: See the last picture. You have to go around the giraffe area and pass the Ferris wheel to reach the train queue. There are a lot of people on holidays, and the wait is at least an hour, sometimes up to 2 hours. So if you go on a holiday, head straight to the train. We were freezing while waiting in line in winter 😭. If possible, sit on the left side at the front, as most large animals are on the left. 🦓Great Migration: Don't expect too much. It's very small, but the scene of a flock of large birds flying by is impressive. ✨Pros: ① The animals have a lot of space, which looks more comfortable; ② You can see the animals up close; ③ The Qingyuan chicken on the train is a highlight, very funny. ❌Cons: ① The park guidance is poor, and many people cut in line for the steam train; ② There aren't many animal species, and there are a lot of parrots.
