- Craig CSan Francisco, California4 contributionsGreat way to apend the day!This is an excellent theme park. The quality rivals many I have found in the US, including Disney. Excellent animal displays, roller coasters and other rides, entertaining animal shows were all well done. There is a children’s theme introduced at the 5D theater that pulls everything together. The final show at 7:30 should not be missed. Spectacular fireworks, lights, and aerial displays. Like I said I would expect to find similar quality only in the West, but they have achieved it here. The only, and I mean only, thing that wasn’t #1 was the food. They tried to do amusement park burgers, hot dogs, drinks, and candy, but it wasn’t the same. Good but not great. Still, I would highly recommend for a fun family day.Visited April 2023Traveled with friendsWritten April 22, 2023

- Lester GencianeoMacau, China188 contributionsAmazing!!!The world's largest ocean theme park. Close to Hengqin Port and just a few minutes ride from Gongbei Port. The park has its own chain of hotels nearby, such as the major Chimelong Hotel, the Penguin Hotel, the newly opened Spaceship Hotel, etc. The park has lots of shows and fun activities. There are different kinds of animals. Tip: Come before the park opens at 10 a.m., and be sure to plan your visit on weekdays to avoid the massive crowds.Visited December 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten December 21, 2023

Met my match here - a terrifying roller coaster that has kept me on terra firma ever since. The kids couldn’t get enough of it though! Very impressive aquarium. Though we went during a holiday, we never felt that we were waiting too long for anything. Bring your own snacks!

This place is worth the visit as you can spend the whole day there and enjoy the exhibits , aquarium and the various shows. Also you can enjoy all the rides as well as the 5D theater. Compared to the Chimelong Safari park the Ocean Kingdom is taking second place but still worth a visit.

I visited this "Ocean Kingdom" last summer and it was awfully disappointing. By the end of the trip I had lost faith in the human race and it absolutely disgusts me to see how highly rated this establishment is rated on Trip Advisor.
As I mentioned before, I went during summer. It was a sweltering, unbelievably humid, 30 degree Celsius day. The polar bear "habitat" was nothing but rooms with what looked like plastic fake snow. The animals were understandably, and unsurprisingly, laid out and lifeless. Chimelong's widely boasted about "largest glass aquarium"? An absolute farce. The coral is made out of cement. There was actually a scuba diver scrubbing fish excrement off the fake, dull, grey corals. The fish in the tank were no better. It was pretty much your typical Chinese restaurant fish tank, only supersized with a few baby whale sharks thrown in.
If you're hoping to learn anything about the captive animals you've seen; bad luck. Apart from a signs with large, childish fonts with general knowledge like "Jellyfish are made up of 95% water!", there are no English descriptions. And the Chinese signage fairs no better.
The most aggravating part of the trip was the outdoor brown bear torture enclosure. Adapted to icy, cool climates, these bears were left out in the humid ZhuHai summer with no means of cooling themselves. Not even an ice block. The poor animals were even showing signs of decaying mental health and stereotypy. A man passing by laughed at one of the bear's repetitive head-shaking and told his young daughter in chinese "Ha ha, that bear keeps saying no!". It seemed to me only the uneducated could enjoy this "kingdom". Not to mention this place is advertised as an ocean themed park, the Brown Bears are absolutely unnecessary to this theme, and there wasn't even adequate facilities to house these creatures.
We spent the whole day at Chimelong, and only went on one of the rides due to the outrageous lines. We spent 30 min in line for a rocking boat ride.
Although Chimelong may be big, and have six Guinness world records, it all means nothing when the establishment itself lacks care, passion, and genuine interest towards to animals that they exhibit. And unfortunately, Chimelong lacks just that. They treat their animals like inanimate money magnets. It works, but it also shows.

3. buy your ONE WAY ticket to Chimelong Hengqin (30 MOP), select your desired time
4. board the bus in front of Hotel Beverly
5. bus ride towards Lotus Border Gate will take approx 20 minutes including STOPOVER at Taipa Ferry Terminal.

This is for all theme park lovers out there. I would suggest to spend the whole day here. Most rides requires a min height of 1.2m. There are a few rides for kids below the height limit. Best time to visit is in November. September is scorching hot and you might not enjoy the heat.

i got lots to write but it will just make things confusing.. i did a lot of prep work, spoke nor read no chinese..
in short.. this place is a must go place.. the thing is transportation to this place sucks.. either u take a car, a tour or a few public buses.. i doubt taxis are going to be a two way option or its going to be cheap.. the location is kinda remote and tucked in a quiet area.
my wife, my 4yr daugther and myself used the public bus and it was not that difficult as long u do your homework.. there are a few ways to go from hongkong, macau and china..
we came from guangzhou, using the highspeed intercity railway, we stopped at the last stop, zhuhai station. Zhuhai station is also beside the gongbei port which leads to macau.
Infront of gongbei port towards china, there is an underground port plaza which has an underground bus stop. We took the K10 bus and headed towards the last stop, changlong bus station. The correct direction is when u ask the bus driver. Just say Chang Long. The other opposite wrong direction is Ji Da as its last stop. ChimeLong Ocean Kingdom is a.k.a ChangLong Ocean Kingdom.
The last stop stops exactly inside the Chimelong Ocean Kingdom. No need to walk far. We went during off peak season because I read the bus can get crazy loaded with people.
The next tip is to go early and leave early to avoid huge crowd. Go early to get the early shows as well, dolphin show and beluga shows are good. We cant bring water/food in, but try to avoid the restaurants, we tried them, the food are not that great and they are really expensive. I would suggest to get the chicken burgers selling from the stalls all around the place. Avoid the ice cones as they are too sweet. Water bottles are not expensive from the stalls, you can also get ice creams and soft drinks.
You will need to walk alot. Bring a hat/cap if you fear the heat or a tan. Wear light. Be prepared for tour groups rushing around. We got really tired and skipped the last exhibit. We took the bus back around 4.30 and got a seating seat. Its about an hour back as well to the gongbei port.
There were polar bears, walruses, dolphin, brown bears, belugas, whale sharks, rays.. etc.. all well kept clean and happy.
good luck

The entrance of the park is impressive with a huge screen overhead. However once you keep on walking through the park its less impressive. The stingray space was tiny. The largest glass aquarium was impressive but then you see the bears which is awful. The brown bears had a tiny space right in front of the polar bears behind glass. As said not to go if you love animals

We went to the Ocean Kingdom by taxi. The park was amazing and we enjoyed. However, the nightmare was coming when we left. After the firework at 8:30, we walked with the thousands crowds for an hour before we reached the bus stop. When the bus came, hundreds of people rushed to stop the bus before it reached the bus stop. The mob squeezed into the bus, pushed each other, screamed.... one even climbed through the window. The bus was overloaded, the door was blocked but people did not get off..... We waited... but we were afraid that we were left in that remote area, therefore we took a deep breath and followed the mob to squeezed into the bus. Our bodies were pressed and we could not breath. The bus took 1.5 hour to reach the city centre as there were so many cars on the road. We arrived the hotel after 12:00. Felt like a survior of a disaster. Goodness me! The joy was covered with the nightmare.
Tips: Either join the tour or drive your car. Don't wish a luck for catching a taxi or a bus. Or you may come to Hong Kong Ocean Park instead. It's smaller but the transportation is good.

After hearing so much about Chimelong we decided to go and check it out. There were many many problems.
1. The amount of people. We had to wait in line for hours just to go on a ride (regardless if it was small or big) and also for the animal exhibits.
2. The poor, poor animals. Those animals were living in concrete painted to look like its habitat rooms. No ice/snow for the arctic animals. All the animals were going crazy walking back and forth because their enclosures were tiny. Their nails were over grown and because of the concrete floors they had trouble walking. All animals looked malnourished. Just disgusting treatment for the beautiful creatures.
3. The park isn’t big. There aren’t a lot of rides for a price similar to a bigger amusement park like Ocean Park or Disney Land.
If you want to have fun and not feel bad about the animals go to Hong Kong’s Disney Land or Ocean park. Worth the money and time.
Chimelong is generating so much money, they just choose to not take care of their animals.

Hey there,
Anyone know if there is a shuttle bus or public bus from Chimelong Ocean Kingdom to Zhuhai Railway Station or Gongbei area? And what time is the last bus?
Thank you in advance!
I am coming from Macau international airport . Do we need to go through customs if we go by car via Hengqin? I read that there is no need to clear customs if we enter via Hengqin and it is the quickest way to chimelong from Macau airport

As I know, is still needed to cross the border from Macau to enter Hengqin / Chimelong.
Do I need a Chinese visa if I visit Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai from Macau? Just one day then back to Macau.

I'm visiting the park next month, arriving to Zhuhai Jiuzhou port from Hong Kong. Is there a shuttle from the port to the park? And if so, what are the shuttle times? I'll be arriving to the port around 08:45. Thanks in advance!

Maybe too late to reply, but the information may be useful for others. There are various bus routes for this park, depending on where you are traveling from in Zhuhai. However, you will need to seek help from locals for catching a bus, since all are written in Chinese only (even the phone app: baidu map). The bus ticket price is RMB 1 or 2 Yuan (around USD 15 cents or 30 cents). However, you may consider taking a taxi if you want to avoid the crowded environment on the bus. The taxi fare in China is quite cheap compared with that in western countries.
How can I travel to chimelong aquarium (whale tank) from Shenzhen?

You may travel from Shenzhen to Zhuhai via ferry or train, which are the most convenient public transport approaches, and then take local transport to the Chimelong ocean kingdom.
