    Safari park
    I like zoo and I like Animals. I visit this place because my daughter was looking forward to see the panda.in my opinion the park was fantastic and there are many exciting shows. However, no English translation or guide give us the show time. Also there are dance show. the opening hours from 8.30 Am to 6.0 pm when I came . 100 % worth visit .

    Close up with Pandas - also the best zoo in the world
    I think it would be hard to beat this place as The Best Zoo in the World. You can get very close to the Pandas as they do their thing. It has almost every animal imaginable. It has a cable car that flys over the African Savana. All the animals look well cared for, and displayed well. We are definitely returning on our next trip.

    Nice
    It was a very fun experience for our son (3 yrs old). Very up close and personal with the animals. Enjoyed watching the pandas. Cutest ever alive. Have some “fake” dinosaurs during the walk which my son enjoyed, since he is a fan of dinosaurs. So it a great combo for him. Walks were very cooling since it is during winter season. The only thing I have to comment for a dislike is the tram ride. The exhaust smokes kept coming to us. China is going into EV, perhaps safari can consider changing to EV for their tram ride.

There are lots of animals and many exhibits to check out. It will take a long time to see everything so do plan to spend the whole day there. It was a huge surprise to see all the animals here. We would recommend doing the "safari train" when the lineups are short as it is included with the ticket price and it is very cool seeing the animals out in the open.

The only downsides are the long line ups for the cable cars and the food quality is not that great in the park. Refreshments and ice cream is cheap.

Closest metro station is Hanxi Changlong.

Admission is a bit pricey, but once inside you will know it's worth it. This a large zoo with cable car and safari train included in the entry fee. Lots of animals, clean and nice forest scapes. The animal nursery was an unexpected but excellent experience. Saw the brown bears close up (almost too close), and it was awesome.

Food is very expensive, so it might be a good idea to BYO. Go on a weekday to avoid the queues

Had zero expectations going into it but came away very very impressed. The biggest thing is the sheer number of animals they have. Most zoo’s will have 2-3 of each type but there were literally tens of each type.

The other thing is the safari - you can drive in yourself ( or hire a taxi ) and see the animals up close. Great treat with kids!

The park was too big for my 2 and 4 yr olds so we will definitely be back some day

We went there on January 2020 with 2 children 2 and 5. (For being low season there was no queuing) You can go directly per metro and enter in the south entrance. All by all the experience was great! But my heart broken when we saw the pandas in such a poor condition and really placed as THE attraction of the safari. No respect for the animals, very noisy lots of shops before and after each area, and noisy music. By chance we ended the safari with the train and this part was beautiful. Then a big walk through dinosaurs (funny) monkeys reptiles exotic birds. All by all very nice and a must do with children’s in Guangzhou. But noisy and lots of plastics toys selling. It is more like a Disney world for animals rather than an ecological and respectful area for animals.

It's like a second rate zoo on steroids. Animals kept in poor conditions along with rather small enclosures.
There's a souvenir shop at every attraction so with two small children they get some of your coin eventually. We found it some what over crowded with alot of pushing and shoving however the children did not mind as they thought it was some kind of game and held their own.
I would not go again due to the above.

Visiting the zoo was a pleasant experience as it is spacious, new and well organized. But it is too crouded (maybe because we went there on Saturday). We had to queue for about an hour for the cable car and more than half an hour for safari. It was a bit annoying, but it is the problem of all similar parks.

Apparently one of the best in China and I can see why. Big enclosures, rare animals and lots of information on species and history. We spent most time with the koalas, pandas and tigers and spent nearly 6 hours there. Longest I've ever stayed in a zoo. Easy to get to by Didi. Only annoying thing was loud music (very Chinese and they promote merchandise everywhere) which must be somewhat disturbing also to the animals. Nite we were there during CNY so that was maybe the reason. All in all, great experience and worth the 350RMB price tag

Chimelong is an amazing place to enjoy and explore. The park is massive and there isn't enough time in the day to go through all the rides.. The fun doesn't stop here.. From 3d to 5d theatres and a variety of roller-coaster rides, your day at the park is filled with plenty of great features such as water features and dance party around the other end.. Truly phenomenal experience...
