Updating the weather…

Chimelong Safari Park reflects Guangzhou's growing family tourism and leisure industry. Its extensive grounds and varied wildlife make it a major family destination, best explored through a combination of drive-through and walking areas.

Themed attractions, performances and interactive activities have broadened Guangzhou's appeal beyond traditional sightseeing. Their development is closely linked to improved transport and major tourism projects in outer districts such as Panyu and Huadu.

Chimelong Safari Park reflects changes in how Guangzhou spends its leisure time. It offers families and younger travelers a different experience from the city's historic monuments and old streets.
