If you’re ready to trade city streets for savannah vibes, Chimelong Safari Park (广州香江野生动物世界) is your ticket to a full-blown wildlife adventure—without leaving Guangzhou. Located in Panyu District and easily accessible via Metro Line 3 (Hanxi Changlong Station, Exit E), this park is one of China’s largest and most immersive safari experiences.
