Ocean kingdom, spaceship theme park, safari with panda triplets, circus & more in Guangzhou & Zhuhai that you can check out

China has levelled up its tourism game as cities, like Guangzhou, are seeing a surge in visitors, including from Singapore, thanks to its accessibility, vibrant food scene, and first-timer-friendly vibe.

And if you are looking at ways to make the most of your holiday in one place, because no one has time for commuting, check out the Chimelong Resorts in Guangzhou and Zhuhai. 

All it takes is a four-hour flight to Guangzhou, and you are done with travelling, as you can find all you need in the resorts.

Chimelong is a leading entertainment and hospitality brand in China. These massive resorts by Chimelong offer everything – from an edutainment space-themed attraction to an amusement park and even a safari.

While Chimelong Guangzhou has a bigger focus on amusement parks and safaris, Zhuhai Hengqin Chimelong International Ocean Resort, as its name suggests, is more focused on aquariums and water park attractions.

Together, these attractions make Chimelong Resort a one-stop destination for a diverse experience, ranging from thrill rides to getting up close with wildlife.

Here’s what you can look forward to at either of these resorts.

For the adrenaline junkies

Kick off your holiday with some fun and adrenaline-filled rides!

Chimelong Paradise in Guangzhou Chimelong Tourist Resort is one of China’s largest amusement parks with over 60 attractions, including thrilling rides such as a 10-loop roller coaster and a giant drop tower.

You can also take the “Polar Explorer”, bringing you through the ‘frosty mountains’ in the Ocean Kingdom of Zhuhai Hengqin Chimelong International Ocean Resort.

Join the “Battle of the Pirates” at the Ocean Kingdom and fight off 'pirates' with your water guns.

Definitely the kind of summer fun that you’d be looking for. 

For those who love marine life

Besides the fun rides, get ready to be awed by the magnificent and beautiful marine creatures that you can see in the Ocean Kingdom, behind this enormous glass panel that’s 8.3m tall and 39.6m wide. 

Another attraction that has both marine creatures and adventurous rides is the Chimelong Spaceship, a spaceship-themed indoor marine science park in Zhuhai’s Chimelong resort. 

Enter this huge ‘spaceship’ to see the world’s largest aquarium complex and hop on to more rides such as the Bermuda Storm motion simulator and Deep Sea Submarine.

There are also zones that educate visitors about over 100 types and shapes of corals, freshwater ecosystems, and water in different forms.

At the Chimelong Safari Park in Guangzhou, visitors can see the world’s only surviving giant panda triplets — Mengmeng (Cute), Shuaishuai (Handsome), and Kuku (Cool) — a historic milestone in panda conservation.

Meng Meng, the eldest of the trio, became a mother in late 2024 after giving birth to panda Mei Zhu.

Birds and other animals can also be found at the Chimelong Bird Park in Guangzhou, where visitors can look forward to seeing over 300 bird species from all around the world.

Though birds are the main focus of the park, visitors will also be able to spot other animals, including hippos, snakes, and tarantulas.
