About This Place
Chimelong Safari Park is Asia's largest wildlife theme park, renowned for its free-roaming animal habitats and drive-through safari experience. It is home to over 500 rare species, including China's iconic giant pandas. Visitors can board a mini-train to venture into simulated jungles and grasslands. Plan for a full day and arrive early to beat the crowds.

Best Time to Visit
April-May, September-October
Visit on weekdays outside of public holidays and weekends for fewer crowds. Arrive right at opening time (09:30) and enter from the North Gate to board the safari train first, avoiding long queues later.
Avoid Chinese Holidays
Strongly avoid Golden Week (Oct 1-7), Chinese New Year (late Jan/Feb), and Labor Day (May 1-5). Crowds are extreme and tickets often sell out weeks in advance.

Advance Booking Required
