Guangzhou Chimelong Tourist Resort features Chimelong Safari Park, Chimelong Happy World, Guangzhou Chimelong International Circus, Chimelong Water Park, Chimelong Birds Park andChimelong Hotel, Chimelong Panda HotelAnd multiple theme parks and premium resort hotels. Chimelong Safari Park is home to the giant panda triplets "Meng, Shuai, Ku," and has successfully bred 10 surviving pandas across 7 litters to date. It also houses a koala population second only to that in Australia, as well as nearly 500 species and over 20,000 rare animals from around the world, including white tigers that account for more than half of the global population. Chimelong Happy World and Chimelong Water Park have been in operation for over 10 years, and Chimelong Water Park has received the TEA "Outstanding Achievement Award" for its innovative "Rocking Tug" ride. Chimelong Happy World and Chimelong Water Park have cultivated several well-known entertainment brands such as "Happy Halloween" and "Water Electronic Music Festival," becoming trendy landmarks for young people's leisure and entertainment. After 20 years of continuous innovation, Guangzhou Chimelong International Circus, together with Zhuhai Hengqin Chimelong International Circus, has welcomed nearly 500 circus artists from over 20 countries to perform in Guangzhou and Zhuhai, creating a "world circus stage that never stops." Chimelong Birds Park is a theme park integrating bird watching, science education, and precious wetland plants—"a place to truly see birds fly"—featuring hundreds of species and tens of thousands of rare birds and amphibians. The resort is vast in scale, with a single park typically requiring half a day to a full day to explore. For those wanting to visit multiple parks, staying at an on-site themed hotel eliminates the need for round-trip travel.

Guangzhou Tower, a landmark of Guangzhou, stands at a towering 600 meters including its antenna, making it one of the most famous towers in China. From its top, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of Guangzhou. Its slender and elegant shape has earned it the nickname "Slim Waist." At night, the tower lights up, making it a perfect spot for photography, even if you don't go inside. The tower is divided into five functional zones from A to E. Zone A at the base showcases Guangzhou's history, culture, economy, and tourist attractions, along with providing tourist services. Zone E at the top offers dining, entertainment, and an observation deck. It's recommended to arrive at the tower by 3:30 PM, queue for security and tickets, and reach the top by 4:30-5:00 PM to catch the sunset. This schedule allows you to experience Guangzhou's panorama during the day, at dusk, and at night. In summer, adjust your visit by two hours later due to longer daylight. Visiting between 7-8 PM is ideal as the tower is less crowded. ▲Pearl River Photography Viewing Platform:Located on the 2nd floor, this platform offers a broad view along the river, perfect for capturing the city's central axis and memorable shots with the tower ▲Landmark α: Features three main thrilling activities—Cloud Walk, Sky Drop, and Alpha Exploration ▲Baiyun/Starry Sky Sightseeing Hall:Situated at 428m and 433m, these themed halls offer stunning views of Guangzhou's new central axis and the Pearl River under blue skies and starry nights ▲Science Exploration Hall: On the 109th and 110th floors, this hall reveals how the 600-meter tower withstands strong winds and earthquakes ▲460m Bubble Tram:With 16 transparent cabins, each holding six visitors, a full rotation takes about 20 minutes.

Nanyue King Museum-The Site of King's Tomb

4.6/5

The Museum of the Nanyue King (Royal Tomb Exhibition Area) was originally the Museum of the Western Han Dynasty Nanyue King, which opened in 1988. After the two museums merged to form the Museum of the Nanyue King in 2021, this area became the exhibition area themed around the royal tomb. It was built around the original site of the tomb of Zhao Mo, the second king of the Nanyue Kingdom of the Western Han Dynasty. This royal tomb was discovered in 1983 during construction on Xianggang Mountain on the west side of Yuexiu Mountain. It was carved into the mountain and buried deep inside the mountain. The tomb is shaped like the Chinese character "士" (shi), and is divided into seven burial chambers according to the "front court and rear palace" layout. It has been undisturbed by tomb robbers for more than two thousand years and is well preserved. The entire exhibition area consists of three parts: the ancient tomb protection area, the comprehensive exhibition building, and the main exhibition building. The original site of the tomb is preserved within the ancient tomb protection area. You can enter the original tomb site: the upper walkway offers an overhead view of the stone chamber structure. To descend to the lower level for a closer look, advance booking is usually required, with limited slots available. Even if you can't secure a spot, it won't diminish your experience of this mountain-carved royal mausoleum. Among the unearthed artifacts, the jade burial suit stands out as the signature piece. Composed of over 2,000 jade pieces threaded together with silk, it measures more than 1.7 m in length and is one of the earliest and most complete jade suits discovered in Chinese archaeology. The dragon-knobbed gold seal inscribed "Seal of Emperor Wen" found near the tomb owner's chest directly confirmed his identity. The main exhibition, "Treasures of the Nanyue Kingdom: Artifacts Unearthed from the Nanyue King Museum-The Site of King's Tomb of the Western Han Dynasty," is divided into five sections: the gold seal of Emperor Wen, treasures from the main chamber, sacrificial victims, imperial storage, and ritual bronzes. Beyond the jade suit and gold seal, you can also see the rhino horn-shaped jade cup carved from a single piece of green jade (now listed among China's prohibited overseas exhibition relics), the high-stemmed cup combining jade, gold, silver, bronze, and wood materials, as well as over ten sets of jade pendants and dozens of jade sword ornaments from the Han dynasty. The double-ring jade pendant with openwork dragon and phoenix designs was found covering the tomb owner's right eye. Its inner ring features an openwork swimming dragon, while the outer ring depicts a phoenix—this very motif became the source of the museum's emblem. The visit usually follows the order of the comprehensive exhibition building, the ancient tomb protection area, and the main exhibition building. The comprehensive exhibition building also features a special exhibition titled "Ceramic pillows donated by Mr. and Mrs. Yang Yongde," where the diverse shapes and glazes of porcelain pillows from various dynasties are easily overlooked but worth taking a few minutes to appreciate. The tomb also contains over ten sacrificial burials, corresponding to the "Sacrificial burials in the tomb" unit, offering a direct insight into the unique burial customs of the Nanyue Kingdom. If you're interested in Han Dynasty jade artifacts or the history of the Nanyue Kingdom, it's recommended to hold two to three hours for a thorough exploration.Guangzhou · 6.5 km from downtown

Yuexiu Park boasts beautiful natural scenery, making it perfect for strolling and exercising. The park's most iconic feature is Guangzhou's symbol - the Five Rams sculpture, which visitors can photograph as a souvenir. The park is lush with flowers and plants, featuring beautiful landscapes. It attracts many locals who come for hiking and exercise. Being a public park, there's no specific route to follow - most visitors come for hiking, lake viewing, taking photos at the five-goat statue, and seeing the ancient city wall. Families with children can enjoy the Golden Seal amusement park and Yuexiu Park - Dongxiu children's play area, where each attraction has a per-use charge. It consists of the main peak Yuejing Hill and surrounding hills such as Guihua Hill, Muke Hill, and Liyu Hill, along with three artificial lakes: North Xiu, South Xiu, and East Xiu. All three lakes offer cruise rides. The differences between the lakes are as follows: East Xiu Lake offers a distant view of the TV tower and features bumper boats, with a children's play area by the shore. South Xiu Lake provides a scenic overlook of Zhenhai Tower and has a large lawn by the shore, making it an ideal spot for painting and sketching. North Xiu Lake is shaded by lush greenery and features attractions like the Flower Pavilion, Lake Center Island, and Jin Garden. In addition to its natural scenery, the park is filled with numerous historical sites, including monuments, the ancient city wall of Guangzhou, and the old square fort. You can come here to savor history. If you bring your children along, you can share some historical knowledge with them while exploring.Guangzhou · 6.1 km from downtown

I really enjoyed it. The animals seemed very free and roamed around, allowing for close-up observation. My daughter fed the giraffes and flamingos, which was a wonderful experience. I also loved the spider monkeys. The zookeeper was lovely and very patient in explaining things. I would definitely go again if I had the chance.

I think 300 yuan per person is great value for money. It includes a free cable car ride for a panoramic view of the entire park, and a free mini-train ride for a close-up look at the animals on the African savanna – you get to see everything from different angles. We also spent 300 yuan to drive through the park and get a more intimate look at the animals – a very immersive experience. It wasn't the weekend, so it wasn't too crowded. The park staff were very responsible in their explanations. We also ordered a three-person set meal inside the park, which was a bit pricey, but reasonable for the park's price.

I took my two kids to Chimelong Circus and had a great time there. The tickets are not cheap and totally worth it. The performance combined excellent aerobatic, ans circus performance with fantastic lighting and stage design. We enjoyed the whole show and felt the time flying by. If you only had once chance to visit Chimelong, I strongly recommended you to watch the show.

"The Gift of the Nile" was almost missed; originally scheduled to close on October 11th, it has now been postponed to November 1st, seemingly leaving a final, gentle respite for those who couldn't make it. Upon entering the exhibition hall, a dynamic projection immediately catches the eye. Warm golden light spills across the walls, and the Sphinx sits serenely in the interplay of light and shadow, while the cat-headed goddess slowly emerges from the sacred pool. The temple from thousands of years ago seems to have been transported to the banks of the Pearl River, making even breathing unconsciously quiet. What truly captivates is the three complete mummies and the painted coffins. The mummy of Ta Har lies quietly in its display case, the colors on the coffin still vibrant after millennia. The patterns of deities and the hieroglyphic incantations—every stroke reflects the ancient Egyptians' solemn hopes for the afterlife.

We went for a VIP ticket and it was nice as the VIP section has less people in it. You also get priority boarding, some snacks and a bottle of water included. Photographer comes round and tales photos and costs are reasonable. I would recommend.
