The Guangzhou Chimelong Panda Ice Bed Scene is So Healing!

Pandas Beating the Heat? The Guangzhou Chimelong Ice Bed Scene is Pure Bliss

While humans are still relying on air conditioning to survive the summer, the pandas at Guangzhou Chimelong have already mastered the art of "ice bed lounging"—their round bodies sinking into custom-made ice beds emitting cool mist, paws clutching frosty bamboo shoots, occasionally shaking their heads as ice crystals cling to their black fur like scattered diamonds. This summer-exclusive "panda cooling show" has melted away the heat-induced stress of countless visitors. Here’s your guide to fully immersing yourself in the adorable, cool antics of these animals!

🌟 Must-See Healing Moments

1. **The Panda Triplets’ "Ice Bed Routine"**
The best viewing times are 9:00–10:00 and 16:00–17:00. The indoor panda habitat maintains a steady 26°C, and through the glass, you can observe the triplets’ cooling tactics: the eldest, "Meng Shuai," loves pushing ice blocks onto the floor to play with; the second sister, "Ku Ku," enjoys digging a small dent in the ice bed to use as a pillow; and the youngest, "Shuai Shuai," is the laziest, sprawled on his back, barely lifting his head to munch on bamboo shoots. When keepers toss frozen apples, the trio’s playful scramble for food is guaranteed to make you laugh—and cool down.

2. **The Animal Kingdom’s "Summer Chill Competition"**
It’s not just the pandas living their best life: in the koala exhibit, ice bricks hang from tree branches, and the little koalas curl up into fuzzy balls, napping while hugging the ice like they’re "applying an ice mask." Over at the golden monkey island, the shallow water area turns into a "water park," with monkeys splashing each other and visitors’ laughter blending into a refreshing melody. At the giraffe plaza’s misting zone, giraffes lower their heads to catch droplets, their eyelashes glistening with water—so tender it feels like you could squeeze out the sweetness.

📍 Cool Itinerary

**Morning (9:30–12:00): Panda Early Show**
- Head straight to the panda exhibit for their "ice bed morning routine." Bring a notebook to count how many times they roll over (super therapeutic!) → Walk 10 minutes to the koala exhibit to see them cuddling ice bricks → Hop on the shaded park train to the African savanna, where elephants spray water on their calves, creating a refreshing mist.

**Afternoon (15:00–18:00): Beat the Heat + Capture Cuteness**
- 15:00: Duck into the "Rainforest Wonder" indoor exhibit (24°C) to watch butterflies flit among flowers and recharge your phone → 16:30: Return to the panda exhibit for the afternoon "ice bed lounge." The soft lighting is perfect for close-up shots of pandas gnawing on icy bamboo shoots → 17:30: Grab a "bamboo charcoal slushie" (¥38) at the Panda Restaurant and watch pandas stroll by—double the sweetness, double the healing.
