Location & Accessibility

Caribbean Water Park sits on the lush slopes of Nanshan (South Mountain) in Chongqing’s Nan’an District. The park is nestled near the Nanshan Botanical Garden, making it a perfect stop if you’re already exploring that area. To get there, take Metro Line 3 to Huayuan Road Station, then grab a taxi or ride-hailing app—it’s about a 15-minute drive. If you’re driving, punch “Chongqing Haichang Caribbean Water Park” (No. 35, Changcongwen Rd) into your GPS. The winding roads up the mountain are part of the adventure, and the cool mountain air will greet you as soon as you step outside!

Natural Scenery

Nanshan is famous for its cool summer weather, thanks to its higher elevation. At Caribbean Water Park, you’ll find plenty of shady spots under trees and palm-lined paths. The park blends into the green hills, so even when you’re splashing around, you’ll spot forests and mountain views in the distance. It’s a refreshing escape from the city’s humidity, especially during Chongqing’s hot summers.

Cultural Themes

This isn’t just any water park—it’s a Caribbean-meets-Mayan wonderland! As you walk through Caribbean Water Park, you’ll spot colorful totems, brightly painted statues, and walls covered in Mayan-inspired carvings. Think fake palm trees, tribal patterns, and towering pyramids that make you feel like you’re in a jungle. The best part? Photo ops are everywhere—perfect for Instagram!

Rides & Attractions

Caribbean Water Park has over 20 imported rides that cater to all thrill levels. For adrenaline junkies, try the Dragon Roll Big Trumpet (a giant funnel slide) or the Vertical Drop, where you plump straight down. Families with kids will love the Wave Pool, Lazy River, and Splash Fortress, which features bucket dumps and water cannons. My favorite? The Mammoth Waterslide, where you race friends on parallel tubes—so much fun!

Dining & Extras

After getting soaked, head to the food court for classic Chinese street snacks like spicy noodles or grilled skewers. There’s also a BBQ area where you can rent a grill. Want to relax? Rent a cabana or grab a drink at the poolside bar. Tip: Bring cash for lockers (or use your phone to pay) and don’t forget sunscreen—the mountain sun can still burn!

Tips for Visiting

  • Best Time: Visit on a weekday to avoid crowds. Weekends get packed, especially in peak summer.
  • What to Bring: Swimsuit, towel, waterproof phone case, and flip-flops (the ground gets hot!).
  • Opening Hours: Typically 10 AM–6 PM, but check seasonal changes online.
  • Tickets: Buy ahead online for discounts. Some rides require extra wristbands, so budget accordingly.

Why It’s Worth It

Caribbean Water Park isn’t just a place to cool off—it’s a full-day adventure with themes, rides, and food that feel like a mini-vacation. Whether you’re traveling with kids, friends, or solo, the mix of culture, thrills, and relaxation makes it a standout spot in Chongqing. Pro tip: Stay till sunset! The park lights up, and the mountain breeze feels even better after a long day of splashing.
