Qingyuan Chimelong Giraffe Castle Hotel

This trip was great! Even though it rained all three days, we still had a lot of fun. The animals at the zoo were well cared for and beautiful. The most memorable were the giraffes and a critically endangered rhino; they were truly stunning, and I really wanted to reach out and touch them. My 2-year-old daughter also had a wonderful time, feeding the giraffes vegetables and not wanting to leave. The steam train and cable car are must-dos. The cable car offers views of a very green lake, and the scenery is quite nice. The hotel room was clean, but when I tried to call customer service from the in-room phone, it said it was AI-only, yet it always transferred directly to a human agent. I found the breakfast to be quite unappetizing and expensive, so I spent $20 on a taxi to go out for rice noodle rolls instead. The breakfast experience scared me away from trying the dinner buffet, so we took a taxi to some highly-rated restaurants, and the claypot chicken was absolutely delicious. Overall, this trip was worth it; seeing my child have so much fun made it all worthwhile.

During the summer vacation, we went to the hotel right when a Typhoon Signal No. 8 hit. Luckily, it was an all-inclusive package. We arrived quite late for check-in and even got a free upgrade to a giraffe-themed room, which was spacious, new, and very comfortable. After checking in, we paid extra for the buffet dinner, which had a good variety and tasted great! After a short rest, we headed to the hot spring park, which was perfect for both adults and children, with many different pools. It was quite relaxing after soaking. The next day, we went to the Forest Kingdom. We got in early, so there weren't many people. The weather was still good in the morning. When you enter the park, around 10:30 AM, remember to book the mini-train first. You can see many animals from the train. There are also various paid animal feeding activities, like feeding giraffes and monkeys, which are very interesting. We didn't have to queue much for the rides, and the kids played many times! There were also different shows to watch, such as the 'Mabao Theater,' which had a lot of interactive elements and was very thoughtfully put together. The staff were also very polite! However, it rained a lot, so even with a 3-day all-inclusive pass, we couldn't visit all the places. We look forward to more areas opening up in the future so we can come back and play! Overall, the package was excellent value for money!

The hotel room has two queen-size beds, and also features a children's sink and stool, showing thoughtful room design. The only downside is that the pillows are very flat. The Forest Kingdom wasn't too crowded during the summer vacation, and there weren't long queues for the facilities. The steam train starts reservations at 10:30 AM and is highly recommended. The Wild Truck allows for close-up feeding of five different animals, including giraffes, toucans, zebras, and elephants, which is a truly spectacular experience. The Divine Tree Paradise playroom costs 78 RMB per day for hotel guests, which is a great value, and the facilities are well-designed, keeping the children very happy. The breakfast buffet offers a wide selection, and it's less crowded before 8:30 AM. The hot spring park slides are also excellent, and children aged five to ten had a wonderful time.

With the summer vacation starting and my husband's birthday, our family of three decided to visit Chimelong Qingyuan! The park's design is new, and the overall experience was great. We purchased a package through Klook for a three-day, two-night stay with unlimited access to both parks; it was the most affordable option compared to other platforms. We also added an extra day of breakfast at the hotel through Klook. The buffet breakfast at the Castle Hotel was excellent, with many different food choices and good flavors. It's worth noting that the Hot Spring Water Park is perfect for those who enjoy hot springs, and the Forest Park has many African animals to see. However, the park might still be under expansion, as there aren't many large, thrilling rides or traditional Chimelong shows yet; it's more suitable for young children. If the park expands further in the future, we will definitely come back to visit, as there are also many facilities within the hotel, such as a large playhouse. We will visit again!

I personally enjoy hot springs, so I found it quite good, and the children also loved the zoo. There are also rides suitable for kids inside. It's very convenient to stay and play within the hotel premises. The only downside is that there aren't many dining options; the buffet is generally the most appealing, with many choices and good food. The zoo closes at 6 PM, while the hotel's hot springs, games, and restaurants are open until 10 PM. Breakfast and Dinner: The buffet offers a wide variety of food. Lunch is eaten within the park area. Hotel Location: Chimelong Hotel Qingyuan / Hot Springs / Chimelong Safari Park Qingyuan Cleanliness: Five stars Transportation Convenience: Point-to-point shuttle bus service. Service: Four stars. It's quite inconvenient at night, as even the convenience store closes at 10 PM.

That was an amazing trip! The zoo was huge with lots of animals! You could feed the animals by paying at the counter next to each area! I like the steam train most as you could sit and view many animals without walking!

The Cross-Boundary Coach provides direct bus service to the hotel entrance, making travel much more convenient. The hotel is large and new, and the staff are very warm and polite. It happened to be the Buddha's Birthday holiday, so about 80-90% of the guests were from Hong Kong. Meituan delivery usually requires a minimum order of 100 or a 20 delivery fee, and takes an hour to arrive. The hotel itself has restaurants and a food court, but the prices are high, the taste is average, and there aren't many options. The Forest Kingdom is huge, so much so that your feet will hurt from walking; you can rent an electric sightseeing cart. There aren't many rides, but you can see many animals of all sizes. The Hot Spring Park has many outdoor hot spring pools, most of which are shaded. The water play pools, however, are exposed to the sun all day long. There's a giant ball pit in the hotel's basement, which costs an additional 78 for a full day of play. Overall, the three-day trip was excellent and suitable for families, especially children under 12 who will have the most fun.

This time, we stayed at the Giraffe Castle Hotel for two days and one night with our children. The family room was spacious, and the unique bus bunk beds were a big hit with the kids. However, the room walls were a bit dirty with some stains. The room offered animal views, but we checked in at 12 PM and didn't get our room until almost 5 PM, so we missed seeing the giraffes. The next day, at checkout, we only saw zebras. The family room also included access to the hot spring park, but the hot spring and pool area didn't open until 10 AM. Since checkout was at 11 AM, there wasn't enough time to swim and then return to the room to get ready, making it quite inconvenient to carry luggage in and out. Nevertheless, both the hot spring and pool areas were clean, tidy, and fun. As for the Forest Kingdom park, most areas are outdoors, and the exhibits are small and scattered, making it a bit challenging to visit in the summer. We recommend renting an electric car for getting around. The steam train experience was unique and special; we saw various wild animals along the way, and the guide's commentary was lively and engaging. This was the highlight of our trip, and the children absolutely loved it.

We went for the Easter holiday, staying for three days and two nights. The package included two nights at the hotel and three-day passes to the zoo, hot springs, and amusement park for a family of three, all for less than $2000... a great deal. As soon as we arrived, we dropped off our luggage and headed to the zoo, where we saw many animals up close. There were also amusement rides, a mini-train to see animals, and more. After watching the parade, we returned to the hotel to check into our room. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. We had a room facing the pool, which was very convenient for accessing it. Since we opted out of daily housekeeping, we received a complimentary dish from the restaurant. We chose the Thai restaurant, and they provided a children's meal, which our daughter loved. The food was delicious. On the second day, we played at the zoo for a bit longer, then went swimming in the pool. The pool area was large with many different pools, so even with a lot of people, it didn't feel crowded. There were warm pools and splash pools... and the hot springs park also had animals. In the evening, we took a car out for dinner and had sauna chicken, which was also very tasty. On the third day, after checking out, we went back to the zoo to take photos and feed the animals. Our daughter was very happy, and our whole family had a wonderful three days. The zoo is huge, with many animals to see and lots of rides, which will definitely satisfy children. The pool is also very large. The only downside is that Meituan delivery isn't available, so you have to pick up food from outside. This means you either eat at the hotel restaurants or take a car out for meals, as the surrounding area is quite remote. The hotel facilities and park close quite early, including the gym, which closes at 10 PM. Basically, after enjoying the hot springs park, there's no chance to use the gym. It would be great if the gym could stay open longer.

We are extremely satisfied with this hotel, it's especially suitable for families! The hotel is large and new, with plenty of space. Besides the themed zoo, there's also a hot spring park, a large water park, a large indoor children's play area, and an arcade (Klook orders include 5 game tokens). Both kids and adults had so much fun they forgot to leave... In fact, two nights and three days weren't enough time to experience everything! Unlike other zoos, the best part was being able to feed adorable animals like giraffes, alpacas, Australian kangaroos, and capybaras up close! After entering the park, remember to book the mini-train online to see various large animals! Chimelong Qingyuan is truly outstanding and well worth a visit... Highly recommended! 👍👍😍😍
