GUANGZHOU, CHINA: The last day of visit by the Sarawak media group in Guangzhou city, China was fully spent in visiting the Chimelong Safari Park. The Chimelong Safari Park near Guangzhou is truly a great place to spend the day with the kids.
Also known as the Xiangjiang Safari Park, it consists of an amazing selection of beautiful and exotic animals including the world’s largest collection of white tigers, a first-class Giant Panda Centre, and many protected species like the Giant Salamander. There are two parts to this park: the “Safari on Wheels” and the walk-through animal exhibits. The Safari on Wheels portion of the park is the “drive-thru” experience.
There are trams that will take you around the savannahs, plains, lakes and all the different habitats where the animals roam around freely. Some of the animals get amazingly close and the surroundings are beautifully landscaped and quite remarkable.
There is also a self-drive option and the entire loop takes about an hour, depending on how much you stop for photographs.
The trams will also stop at several points, but not enough if you really want to stick around and watch the animals and photograph them. The walk-through or “zoo” part of the park is where all the different habitats and exhibits are.
This is where you find the Giant Panda Centre and the different theme areas like the African Savannah with the rhinos, hippos, zebras, giraffes, and others, the Australian Outback, where the koalas and kangaroos are, the tropical jungles, and many more.
The visitors can spend their whole day to visit this huge safari whereby, there is also a theme park for the kids to play and many others souvenir shops.
