Chimelong Safari Park, Safari park and zoo in Guangzhou, China
Chimelong Safari Park is a large wildlife facility in Guangzhou combining traditional zoo areas with extensive open habitats for hundreds of animal species. The space divides into themed zones, each designed to recreate different ecosystems and natural environments.
The facility opened in 1997 and became a major conservation and research center in southern China. Since its beginning, the park has expanded its animal collections and strengthened its role in wildlife education and protection work.
The park blends local approaches to animal displays with global conservation methods through visitor education programs. Guests witness how modern zoos balance entertainment with serious wildlife protection work.
The park is open during daylight hours and accessible by public transport or personal vehicle from central Guangzhou. Visitors should wear comfortable clothing and allow several hours to explore both the walking zones and the drive-through areas at a relaxed pace.
Visitors can watch animals both on foot and from a moving vehicle, creating two distinct experiences within one location. The drive-through safari sections let guests approach larger animals in spacious enclosures while keeping them calm and undisturbed.
