Travel Notes|Sixth Stop—Guangzhou (1.5 days)

Because I have lived in Guangzhou for several years, I didn’t need to go to many of the famous attractions I had visited. I only went to Chimelong Wildlife Park. Tickets need to be purchased on the platform one day in advance. I compared Ctrip and the official website and purchased tickets on Meituan for 238 yuan/person, which is relatively cheaper by 5 yuan.

My sister and I made several trips from our childhood memories to the hotel we booked near Wanda Plaza in Panyu, Guangzhou. The three of us set off to Chimelong Wildlife Park around nine in the morning, and it cost about ten yuan to take a taxi. As soon as I went out, I realized that it had suddenly started raining heavily. I saw many pedestrians without umbrellas, and I felt a little relieved. It turned out that we were not the only ones who were unlucky enough to not bring umbrellas.

The rain had stopped when we arrived at Chimelong Wildlife Park. Under the guidance of the staff, we first scanned the code to register and receive the QR code for entering the park, then showed the health code to queue up to enter the park, and swiped the QR code at the gate to enter the park. I suggest that when you want to go to Chimelong Wildlife Park, you must take a group photo at the main entrance, because it is not necessarily the main entrance when you come out, and only the main entrance has mascots that you can take pictures with. After entering the park, you will see many signs and maps, as well as performance times and locations. You can watch the performances according to the time. We went to see the flamingos first. The clear lake water revealed shallow clear waves among the tropical rainforest vegetation. A group of flamingos looked like students in a self-study class. Following the one-way street, we arrived at the surrounding stores. I originally wanted to buy some souvenirs, but I took a picture and went to Taobao to find it with a lucky mentality, but I couldn't find it when I went home. Another small regret left.

When we passed by the cable car station, the staff told us that it was free. As soon as we heard the word free, we jumped in line to get on the cable car. We who are hard-working and frugal must save money when we can, but when it’s time to have fun and spend time, we can’t save money. For example, after getting off the cable car, it was time for lunch, so I went to have lunch. After seeing the discount, we bought the set meal for 46 per portion. It's a bit expensive, but you still need to eat, and there are performances to watch.

Chimelong Wildlife Park is really suitable for children to visit. We just went to make up for our childhood regrets. After all, we never went to such a big zoo when we were young!

Chimelong Wildlife Park is indeed the largest zoo in Asia. After visiting a few attractions, everyone couldn't walk anymore and could only sit on the chairs in Swan Lake to rest their breath. We took a bag of bread from the refrigerator nearby, followed the prompts and consciously scanned the QR code to pay ten yuan. The fish and the black and white swans really like to eat these slices of bread. Seeing them eating it so sweetly makes us a little greedy. However, we held back and let others do such a shameful thing! .

Finally, we set out to see monkeys, white tiger performances, and giraffes. Speaking of giraffes, there are small branches that giraffes love to eat in the scenic area that can be fed for 30 yuan/twig. Children will definitely want to feed giraffes. Haha, it’s so easy to make money from children. When my sister and classmates were exhausted and about to go home, I asked to see snakes, so we slept on the tables and chairs in the square and then set off again to the Jurassic Forest to see snakes for excitement.

Jurassic Forest is the scenic spot that I feel has the best experience in Chimelong Wildlife Park. Friends who go to Chimelong Wildlife Park must go, because there are not only rare animals, colorful birds, pythons, golden monkeys, etc., but also The important thing is that the dinosaurs inside are very realistic, just like the resurrected dinosaurs.

After visiting Jurassic Age, you can take a small train directly into the ecological park to see various precious animals, such as Northeastern white tigers, rhinos, giraffes, kangaroos, etc. I saw this ecological park while sitting on the cable car when I first entered the park. It looks like a primeval forest, a small train and a sightseeing cable car. They are all free to ride. After half an hour of playing, you will return to the starting point. However, the small train runs every half an hour. We just happened to catch it when we went there, so we didn’t have to wait, hehe! ! The staff on the small train introduce each scenic spot and animal in detail, which is very interesting. Especially for people like us who are exhausted from shopping, it is suitable to sit on the small train and watch the scenery. After enough rest, we get off at the station.

There is an exit from the bridge over Swan Lake, and there is a parking lot after exiting. If you want to take a taxi, you have to be there. It is recommended to take a taxi when you go out, otherwise you will have to queue up later. There are quite a lot of people going to Chimelong Wildlife Park. Yes, there are also many people taking taxis.

My trip to Guangzhou ended at the Chimelong Wildlife Park. When I lived in Guangzhou a few years ago, I visited all the famous scenic spots, such as Baiyun Mountain, Shamian, Xiaomanyao, Haixinsha, Dafushan Forest Park, Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street, etc., these places are all worth visiting. Looking back now, I still think it was quite fun. But my biggest regret now is that I didn’t take the light rail. I had longed for it a few years ago, but this trip to Guangzhou However, my sister and her classmates were too tired to go anywhere after a day of visiting the safari park, so they left it at that. It’s also a beautiful thing to save regrets and make up for it the next time you go out for fun.
