Visit Date: 2025-12-8 There are not many red leaves left to see at Lingnan Red Leaf World; only a handful remain, and the rest are almost completely withered! However, the bald cypress trees at a certain scenic spot (I forgot the name) that we visited by sightseeing bus were quite beautiful, and there were also many photo opportunities along the lake.

Great value! Chimelong Safari Park is fun. Enter from the South Gate. There was a short queue for the cable car, but the train queue was shorter around noon. The white tiger diving was spectacular. There were many giraffes, cute koalas, and parrots along the paths. There were many different kinds of monkeys, elephants, zebras, hippos, flocks of flamingos, and so many animals! There were also enthusiastic performers. The creative ice cream was 35 yuan each. The restaurants in the park weren't very good and were quite expensive. Overall, the park has a lot of shade, so it wasn't very hot.

We entered from the South Gate. Although there were many people, it wasn't chaotic at all. The signs were very clear, and the staff were very responsible. It was a very enjoyable trip for the kids; Guangzhou is beautiful and delicious. It was our first time seeing a rhinoceros and our first time riding a cable car—a great experience!

Window of the World is a old theme park but it is definitely worth visiting for tourists who have been to many places around the world or who have seen many worldly sites through media or books. There are also ample food choices within the place. There are several rides too. Also, forget to visit Melania town either before or after to conclude your visit. One can spend a fully day, including the night too if you have the energy. Really great for family visit
