🎢 Kids Play + Adventure Guide
▫️ Qingyuan Chimelong is really better to explore than you think! The zoo area is huge, the little train lets you get up close to giraffes and zebras, the rides include a carousel for kids and roller coasters for adults, one whole day is just not enough
▫️ Huangteng Gorge Rafting is perfect for family rafting! The water flow isn’t too fast, kids can paddle by themselves, and you can have water fights along the way. Remember to bring a change of clothes and waterproof bags
.
💡 Tips
❶ For rafting, wear quick-dry clothes and if you wear glasses, bring a strap to prevent slipping
❷ Chimelong park is large, renting a stroller at the entrance saves effort
❸ Many restaurants stay open late, so you can have a late-night snack after exploring
.
No need to travel far this summer, come to Qingyuan for an all-in-one experience of eating, drinking, and playing, fun for both adults and kids that you won’t want to leave~
