Things to do in Guangzhou

We had a fantastic day at Chimelong Safari Park! The park is beautiful, with amazing scenery and a huge variety of animals. It's enormous, so I strongly recommend arriving early to have enough time to explore everything without rushing.We expected to see more giant pandas, but there were only two, although they were incredibly cute! We also hoped to see red pandas, which were listed as being at the park, but unfortunately, there were none.The animal show was excellent and entertaining, even though it was entirely in Chinese. We also hired a wonderful guide who was friendly, helpful and made a real effort to ensure we enjoyed our visit. We appreciated her efforts so much that we gave her an extra tip, even though she initially refused it.Overall, a great experience and well worth visiting in Guangzhou. Just arrive early and check which animals are available to see before your visit!

We entered from the South Gate. Although there were many people, it wasn't chaotic at all. The signs were very clear, and the staff were very responsible. It was a very enjoyable trip for the kids; Guangzhou is beautiful and delicious. It was our first time seeing a rhinoceros and our first time riding a cable car—a great experience!

ดีมาก ขึ้นตอนเย็นบรรยากาศดี ต่อคิวบับเบิ้ลนานแต่รอได้ โดยรวมขี้นไปข้างบนไม่ต้องขึ้นบับเบิ้ลก็ว้าวแล้ว

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 Nanyue King Museum's Royal Tomb Exhibition Area is a rare original site of a Han Dynasty royal tomb, and the ancient relics of the Nanyue Kingdom, over two thousand years old, are remarkably well-preserved. I leisurely explored it on my own for three hours. The tomb's structure was breathtaking, and the unearthed jade and bronze artifacts were exquisitely crafted, providing a direct understanding of the early history of Lingnan. The venue is quiet and comfortable, the guided tours are comprehensive, and it offers excellent value for money. It's definitely worth a visit when in Guangzhou.

The Pearl River Cruise was pretty good. Easy to buy tickets off Trip; buy the tickets, get a QR code within seconds, scan QR code at pier - easy entry. Ship was pretty good. Booked 3rd level seats for the unobstructed views and was pretty surprised that I was booking a table on the 3rd level. That was great as we could sit down if we wanted to. The weather was perfect. No rain, clear skies, a bit of a breeze. It is a great family activity and I would highly recommend it to everyone.

I went with my wife to experience Chimelong's Halloween theme. I think I've only been to Chimelong's Halloween a few times before, this was my third. It was alright, though. There were more tourists dressed in cosplay than before, which added a lot to the festive atmosphere. The NPCs in the park were also quite helpful, and the parade was very nice. However, the park seemed smaller than before; some rides appeared to have been removed. Last time I was here, the 10-loop roller coaster was still there, but then I saw online that it had reached the end of its service life and was sold to India? This time it had become a catapult roller coaster. So many roller coasters, including the Vertical YYDS (it's been renamed, I think it's called the Circus Roller Coaster? I forget exactly). The haunted house was just so-so; it didn't feel as thrilling as before, and I felt like I could never go back to the old days. 🤔

A truly beautiful sight! The twinkling lights and bustling crowds create a lively atmosphere. The various lanterns, adorned with different shapes and designs, depict plant landscapes, small animals, and other cultural elements, leaving a particularly deep impression.

In the afternoon, we visited the provincial museum and happened to catch a free guided tour. The guide's explanation was very professional and detailed, demonstrating a true depth of Van Gogh studies. He shared many touching stories, which were very inspiring. Finally, there was a movie to watch, which the children found very rewarding.

Across two thousand years, they witnessed a dialogue of civilizations alongside the King of Nanyue. All cultural artifacts are silent testimonies of the Lingnan civilization, the Central Plains, and international exchanges.
