Tips & Tricks from Real Parents
Book the drive-through cable car as it is included in your ticket and gives the best views without the walking.
The panda house is most active 9-10am during morning feeding.
Pack a lunch because park food is expensive at over $15 per meal and queues are long.

A Real Parent's Story
Our daughter fed a giraffe and it was the trip highlight
“She was terrified at first. Now she tells everyone she made a giraffe friend in China.”
Read full story
Chimelong surprised us. We expected a typical zoo but got a real safari. The highlight was the giraffe feeding platform where you buy branches for 20 yuan and a giraffe will eat right from your child's hand. Our 4-year-old was shaking at first but by the third branch she was reaching out on her own. The panda exhibit was incredible too with three pandas in a climate-controlled habitat.
