Location & How to Get There

Guangzhou's Chimelong Safari Park, home to the Golden Monkey Kingdom, is nestled in Panyu District along Xiangjiang Avenue. It’s about a 40-minute drive south of downtown Guangzhou, near the iconic Lianhua Mountain. To reach it:

  • By metro: Take Metro Line 3 to Hanxi Changyu Station, then transfer to a taxi or the free shuttle bus.
  • By car: Drive along South沙洲 Road (Nansha Highway) and exit at the “Chimelong” sign. Parking is plentiful.
  • Stress-free option: Many hotels offer direct tours—perfect if you’re short on time!

Wild Adventures in Nature

The Golden Monkey Kingdom isn’t just a zoo—it’s a jungle playground for primates! Here, monkeys roam free in lush, tropical habitats that mimic their natural homes. You’ll spot mischievous macaques swinging from trees, golden snub-nosed monkeys (the rarer ones!) clambering over rocks, and playful lemurs lounging in sunbeams. The best part? Most exhibits are open-air, so you feel like you’re stepping into their world. Don’t forget to visit the monkey feeding zone—kids (and adults!) love watching them scamper for treats.

Shows & Cultural Snapshots

Beyond animals, the park blends entertainment with education. At the Monkey Magic Show, trainers showcase how clever these creatures are—think monkeys riding tricycles or solving puzzles. For culture buffs, the “Legends of the Forest” performance combines traditional Chinese music with acrobatic monkey stunts. It’s a fun way to learn about conservation without feeling preachy.

Practical Perks for Visitors

The park nails convenience:

  • Food: Snack stands serve everything from dumplings to ice cream. The Rainforest Café even lets you eat surrounded by (harmless) monkey statues.
  • Rest: Shaded lounge areas and rental strollers/wheelchairs make it family-friendly.
  • Shopping: Buy cute monkey-themed souvenirs—think plush toys, keychains, or even monkey-print T-shirts.
    Pro tip: Visit on weekdays to avoid crowds, and download the Chimelong app for real-time wait times!

An Unforgettable Day Out

At Golden Monkey Kingdom, expect lots of “Wow!” moments. Whether it’s a baby monkey clinging to its mother’s back or a troop grooming each other, the interactions are heartwarming. Bring your camera—every corner is picture-perfect. Just remember: while the monkeys are habituated, keep your distance and avoid eye contact (staff will remind you!). Finish your day at the Sunset Pavilion, where you can watch the sky turn pink while monkeys settle in for the night. It’s a perfect ending to a wild adventure!
