Origin: A Joyful Dream on the Land of Southern Guangdong

Furong Ancient Town

The Brand Name – Chimelong's Ambitious Tourism Empire
The name "Chimelong" originates from its creator, the Chimelong Group. Starting in the aquaculture industry in the 1990s and later establishing Xiangjiang Safari Park (now Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park), the Chimelong Group astutely recognized the Chinese families' desire for high-quality leisure and entertainment. With rising national income and upgraded tourism consumption, creating a comprehensive theme park that rivals top international parks, blending thrills, fantasy, and family fun, became an inevitable extension of the group's strategy. The birth of Chimelong Paradise marks a crucial leap for Chimelong from an animal-themed park to a diversified entertainment empire.

The Road to Dreams: From an Empty Plot to a Landmark of Joy
The establishment of Chimelong Paradise is a modern cultural tourism legend created with an international vision and high standards.
- Dream Takes Flight (Early 2000s): Building on the successful customer base of Chimelong Safari Park, Chimelong Group decided to develop a comprehensive tourist resort in Panyu. With Chimelong Paradise as its core engine, its initial planning aimed to be comparable to world-class theme parks.
- Meticulous Craftsmanship (2003-2006): This project brought together top global amusement equipment manufacturers (such as B&M from Switzerland and MACK from Germany) and theme design teams, investing heavily in introducing the world's best roller coasters and amusement rides at the time. The park's themed zones, landscape design, and performance planning were carried out simultaneously, aiming to create a comprehensive and immersive experience.
- A Stunning Debut (2006-Present): In 2006, Chimelong Paradise grandly opened and became an instant sensation. Its signature attractions, such as the "Vertical Roller Coaster" and the "Ten-Loop Roller Coaster," quickly became the talk of the town. Since then, the park has continuously updated and upgraded, adding new attractions such as the "Free Fall" and "Rocket Roller Coaster," upgrading its shows, and hosting seasonal themed events (such as the Spring Festival celebration and Halloween spooky parties), maintaining its strong vitality and market appeal, and becoming the undisputed theme park leader in South China.

Must-see wonders: A symphony of mechanical behemoths and dreamlike wonderlands

Furong Ancient Town Furong Ancient Town Furong Ancient Town Furong Ancient Town

The charm of Chimelong Paradise lies in its offering of two extreme parallel worlds: one is a heart-pounding extreme challenge zone, and the other is a warm and romantic fairytale dream zone. The two coexist harmoniously, fulfilling the fantasies of all ages.

Ultimate Challenge – The Speed ​​and Passion of Steel Behemoths
This is a paradise for thrill-seekers, where every mechanical behemoth is a stunning work of engineering art.
Vertical Roller Coaster (Scream Zone): The park's original "crown jewel". The train first slowly lifts you to the top of 80 meters high. Just when you think you are about to move forward, it suddenly plunges down at a near 90-degree angle. The extreme screaming experience brought by the instant weightlessness is a "test of courage" for countless tourists.
The 10-loop roller coaster (Cyclone Island): Once a Guinness World Record holder, it features ten consecutive loops. Like being swept into a giant steel "washing tub," you're spinning and tumbling rapidly, experiencing an unprecedented centrifugal force frenzy. Afterwards, it often takes time to regain your sense of direction.
Rocket Roller Coaster (Scream Zone): Representing a new generation of speed and passion. Utilizing the LSM catapult system, it accelerates from a standstill to over 100 km/h in 2 seconds, launching you like a rocket. This is followed by a powerful U-shaped skateboard descent, perfectly combining speed and weightlessness.
Freefall (Scream Zone): A 65-meter-high drop tower. In an instant without warning, you plummet from the top of the tower, the intense feeling of weightlessness making your heart feel like it's going to jump out of your chest. It's one of the ultimate challenges for those with the courage to try something new.

Fantasy Wonderland – A Romantic Blend of Themed Performances and Family Fun
Beyond the hardcore thrills, the park uses color, music, and stories to create a gentle, dreamlike world.
Super International Stunt Theater (Crisis Island 2): This is a visual feast not to be missed. Real explosions, high-diving, motorcycle stunts, gunfights... production quality comparable to Hollywood blockbusters, professional stunt performers stage a massive real-life stage to depict a battle between good and evil, creating a breathtaking spectacle that will elicit constant applause and gasps.
Phantom Magic (Central Performance Plaza): Large-scale themed parades are the heart of the park's joy. The "Fantasy Magic Parade" is colorful during the day, while the "Starlight Dream Parade" is dazzling at night (during certain seasons). Performers in gorgeous costumes, giant themed floats, and enthusiastic interactive dances transform the entire park into a moving ocean of joy.
Happy Kingdom and Water World: An area designed specifically for children and families. It features a gentle carousel, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, bumper cars, and water play areas perfect for family fun. Summer at Water World allows the whole family to enjoy cool splashes and quality time together.
4D Cinema and Star-Studded Performances: In the 4D cinema, watch a dynamic short film where the seats will spray water and vibrate in sync with the storyline, delivering a comprehensive sensory experience. In addition, interactive street performances and band shows throughout the park will also bring you unexpected surprises.

> Travel Tips:
The experience of the first and last rows of a vertical roller coaster is completely different, and brave adventurers can try it multiple times;
When capturing dynamic moments of a roller coaster, it is recommended to use burst mode in a safe area outside the ride.
Be sure to check the schedule for the day in advance and arrive at least 20 minutes early to secure a front-row seat;
Using the "Quick Wristband" can significantly reduce queue times for popular attractions; it is highly recommended to purchase one during peak season.

Core Experience: An Immersive and Joyful Adventure Guide

Five things you must do to unlock the complete joyful journey
1. At the top of the vertical roller coaster, take a deep breath and then plummet.
Experience: Muster your courage and ride the vertical roller coaster. The moment you reach the highest point and have the entire park spread out before you is the beginning of the test of your courage. Close your eyes, feel the ultimate pull of gravity, and that scream will become the most unforgettable memory of your journey.
2. Watch "Island of the Storm 2" and experience a live action blockbuster.
Key point: This is the park's trump card! Arrive early and choose a spot with a clear panoramic and close-up view. When flames rise before your eyes and motorcycles soar overhead, you'll forget you're in a theater, and your adrenaline will surge again.
3. Join a grand themed parade and high-five the performers!
Experience: Whether it's a daytime or nighttime parade, wait by the parade route in advance. As the cheerful music plays, wave to the princesses, heroes, or clowns on the floats, high-five them, and immerse yourself in this borderless joy.
4. Take your children on a magical carousel ride in Happy Kingdom.
Fun Experience: Choose your favorite horse with your child on a colorful carousel. As it slowly spins to music and lights twinkle, it feels like stepping into a fairytale world—a classic scene for creating heartwarming family memories.
5. Challenge the "Ten-Loop Roller Coaster" and experience ten dizzying flips.
Cultural Interaction: If you consider yourself a seasoned roller coaster rider, then the 10-loop roller coaster is a must-do "graduation project." Get ready for ten consecutive tumbles in different directions, and then share the unique feeling of "dizziness mixed with joy" with your friends.

Suggested tour routes
One-day "Thriller Adventurer" High-Efficiency Tour (Suitable for young and adventurous travelers):

Complete Travel Guide: Transportation, Accommodation, and Seasons

Furong Ancient Town

How to get there: Convenient transportation hub within the resort
Chimelong Paradise is located in the heart of the Chimelong Tourist Resort, and its transportation network has been specially optimized, making it very convenient.
Subway (highly recommended): Take Guangzhou Metro Line 3 or Line 7 to Hanxi Changlong Station, exit from Exit D or E to reach the free shuttle bus stop for the resort, and take the bus directly to the South Gate of Happy World.
By car/taxi: Navigate to "Chimelong Paradise". There is a large parking lot in the resort, but parking is limited and expensive during holidays.
Resort shuttle bus: Guests staying at hotels under the Chimelong Group (Chimelong Hotel, Panda Hotel, etc.) can ride the shuttle bus between the various parks and hotels for free.

Best time to visit
Autumn (October to December) and spring (March to May) are the best times to visit, but the park is open year-round and offers different themes each time.
Spring and autumn are the best seasons for amusement rides because the weather is cool and pleasant, making it comfortable to queue and play outdoors.
Summer (June-September): Hot and rainy, but coinciding with summer vacation, "Happy Water World" is fully open, making it a great time for water activities and cooling off. Be sure to take precautions against sunburn and heatstroke, and bring rain gear. This is also peak tourist season.
Winter (January-February): Relatively warm with fewer tourists. Grand Spring Festival-themed events are held around the Lunar New Year, creating a festive atmosphere, but some water activities may be closed.

Tickets and accommodation
Ticketing Tips: It's recommended to buy tickets online in advance, as they are often cheaper than buying them on-site. Keep an eye out for "multi-entry tickets" or combo tickets with the Wildlife World and the Grand Circus on the official website; these offer better value.
For accommodation, Chimelong Hotels are highly recommended: We strongly suggest staying at Chimelong Hotels or Guangzhou Chimelong Panda Hotel. Not only do they offer unique themes and complimentary shuttle service, but you can also purchase multi-day, multi-park packages to comfortably explore multiple parks and experience the ultimate vacation.
Accommodation in the surrounding area: There are also many budget hotels and apartments around the resort area, which are relatively affordable, but you will need to arrange your own transportation.

Shopping on Nanjing Road in Shanghai was just amazing! It's truly the "First Commercial Street of China", where tradition and modernity blend perfectly. You can find awesome souvenirs and experience the trendy vibes in cool stores. The neon lights at night are just spectacular, shining bright like Times Square in New York. The food here is incredible too. I had a feast for my taste buds. Shanghai, I'll definitely be back!

As a solo traveler from Canada, I was nervous about navigating China alone—but this 11-day tour was PERFECT! From hiking the Great Wall at sunrise (Day 3) to gasping at the Terracotta Army (Day 5), every day delivered ‘pinch-me’ moments. The real showstopper? Zhangjiajie’s Avatar Mountains (Day 7)! Our guide made the stone pillars come alive with stories. Massive thanks for handling all logistics—bullet train tickets, entry passes, car! And the 4-star hotels surprised me.

Our 2-day Zhangjiajie tour was beyond spectacular! As someone who’s visited Beijing and Shanghai for work, this trip revealed China’s wild, magical heart. Day 1 in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park felt like stepping onto Pandora—I’m a huge Avatar fan, and Yuanjiajie’s floating peaks left me breathless. The misty pillars and lush valleys like pure movie magic! Then came Fenghuang Ancient Town, we eat dinner beside the thundering waterfall. It seems Unreal! The night views of stilt houses glowing over the river were straight from a fairy tale. For fellow Avatar lovers and adventure seekers: Don’t miss this bucket-list experience! 10/10 would return.
