Location & Accessibility

Chimelong Safari Park Giant Panda Center sits inside the sprawling Chimelong Wildlife World complex in Panyu District, Guangzhou. It’s easy to reach: hop on Metro Line 3 or 7 to Hanxi Changlong Station, and a short shuttle ride drops you right at the park’s entrance. If driving, punch “299 East Hanxi Avenue, Panyu” into your GPS—ample parking makes it stress-free. Bonus: it’s near other Chimelong parks (like the water park), so you can combine visits!

Natural Scenery: A Jungle for Pandas

The center mimics a mist-filled bamboo forest, complete with hills, streams, and rocky nooks. Giant pandas like Liang Liang, Qian Qian, and their cubs lounge in spaces designed to feel wild. You’ll spot them munching bamboo, splashing in pools, or napping on logs—all against a backdrop of lush greenery. The air smells fresh, and birdcalls add to the immersive vibe.

Cultural Charm: Pandas with a Story

This isn’t just a zoo—it’s a panda conservation hub. Staff share heartwarming tales: how rescued pandas thrive here, or how cubs learn survival skills. Daily “Panda Talks” let you ask questions, while interactive screens show panda habits. There’s even a mural celebrating China’s panda obsession—perfect for a quirky photo!

Family-Friendly Extras

Strollers? Check. Shaded benches? Everywhere. The Panda Cafe serves dumplings and bubble tea, while gift shops stock plushies and panda-themed socks. Kids love the mini play area with slides, and parents appreciate the clean restrooms. Pro tip: Rent a locker for bags—it’s handy for exploring hands-free!

The Ultimate Panda Encounter

Visit early to catch pandas at their peak activity. Watch them clamber onto branches during feeding time (11 AM and 3 PM are prime). For a unique view, walk through the “Panda Tunnel”—a glass-walled path where bears roam overhead. End your day at the nursery, where tiny cubs wrestle in a giant bed—it’s pure, fluffy chaos!
