Guangzhou Chimelong Wildlife Park Travel Notes

On the second day of the National Day holiday, I looked at the still red highway on the map and told me: It is not a good time to go out today and it is better to stay at home. So I settled down and continued to stay at home. I can't go out to play, but fortunately I can reminisce about the past travels. Today I will share my trip to Guangzhou Chimelong Wildlife Park.

I took over a special package at the Panda Hotel from a friend: 1,198 yuan including one night at the Panda Hotel + one buffet breakfast for three people + three safari park tickets + three water park tickets. Since booking the date to go, my daughter has started counting down every day, full of anticipation.

Finally the day came to go to the Panda Hotel. It happened to be a rainy day, but we had no problem. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon after checking in. I had something to eat and took a nap. I got up at around four o'clock and put on my swimsuit and went to the water park.

On the way to the water park, my daughter was very excited and kept saying that she would play in the water and play on water slides and so on. So, the good dad also put on his swimsuit and prepared to make a splash in the water with his daughter.

Who would have thought that after entering the water park, we would ask every time we passed a pool: Do you want to go down and play? Every time, the little guy answered very firmly: "No!" Once, twice, three times... After a while, the entire water park was completed. It started to rain heavily. The band was singing hard on the stage next to the big pool. The whole park seemed to be filled with excitement. Completely unaffected by the weather and full of energy... Dad Xin, who had walked around the park with his daughter in a swimsuit, started to get a little impatient: "Daughter! You don't play here or that, what on earth are you doing here?! If you had said earlier that you don't want to play in the water, your parents wouldn't have to spend the money to come here. It would be better to just stay at home..."

My daughter was also very unhappy and depressed after hearing this, but she was still determined not to get into the water. Aggrieved and weak retort: ​​"Dad always said that I..." Mom thought to herself: You really can't blame dad for this. Dad really drove you here with joy, and was looking forward to playing with you in the water. As a result, after walking around for a while, apart from getting my shoes wet, I didn’t even know whether the water in the water park was cold or warm...

Faced with my father’s accusations and my daughter’s gloominess, I thought: Is this trip to the water park going to end so unpleasantly? Not only did it cost money, but it also made the father and daughter unhappy, so it was really not worth the gain.

As he talked, he walked toward the exit of the park. At this time, his daughter saw a piece of sand next to her, and she immediately became interested and said, "I want to play in the sand!"

The unconvinced Dad Xin said: "You came to the water park just to play with the sand?! You might as well play in the sand pool opposite the home community!" You can imagine that Dad Xin was still unhappy.

Seeing this scene, I thought, since I have come here, why not let my daughter play in the sand for a while. If you don't want to go into the water, don't go into it. After all, true happiness is determined by yourself. At the same time, he also advised his father: "It's okay. Since the tickets have been bought and the money has been spent, there is no way to get it back. If you are all so unhappy, wouldn't it be a big loss if you lose your wife and lose your troops? Even if you don't go into the water, "As long as my daughter feels like she's having fun, it's worth it. Happiness doesn't necessarily mean playing in the water. It's okay if she has fun playing in the sand."

Dad Xin is a reasonable and sensible father. He can change his mind immediately and no longer worries about whether his daughter should play in the water. Seeing my daughter playing attentively on the sand, I asked my father to play some water sports by himself.

An hour later, Dad was very happy to share with us the thrill and excitement of playing on the high-altitude water slide, and my daughter happily told her Dad that she had completed the jungle climbing challenge on the sand. In order to reward her with courage, her mother took the first place. For this challenge, I decided to have the buffet dinner at the Panda Hotel for dinner... It was getting late, and the family of three walked to the hotel... The water park trip finally had a happy ending~~

I really tried the Panda Hotel’s buffet for dinner, and I really appreciate the hotel’s humanity: Originally, I was ready to buy tickets for three people, but the front desk staff saw that my daughter was just over one meter tall. , my daughter’s child ticket was automatically exempted, and in the end I only bought tickets for the two of us adults. In addition, the hotel provided a children's ticket for the safari park as a discount, and finally bought the hotel's buffet at a very low price, which was an unexpected surprise. As for the buffet dishes, they were very rich. What made my daughter happy the most was the marshmallows and ice cream~~

The second day is mainly about visiting the wildlife park. Entering from the north gate, the first thing you see is the entrance to the cable car and small train. The queue for the small train was too long, so we chose to take the cable car first. While waiting in line, I kept confirming with my daughter: You can take the cable car, right? My daughter firmly told me: Yes, I can sit. In fact, my worry is: the small cable car is so high, will this little girl who has always been a bit slow and timid be brave enough to sit on it?

When we arrived, the little guy walked into the cable car without hesitation. This really surprised me, but I was also secretly happy: This little girl is really getting braver. Yesterday she climbed the jungle climbing by herself, and today she took the cable car The small cable car is not timid either. On the cable car, Dad Xin said: I feel a little dizzy looking down. After hearing this, my daughter specifically lowered her head to look down and said, "I'm not dizzy." On the cable car, every time she saw an animal, the two children accompanying her yelled excitedly.

My daughter's performance from yesterday's jungle climbing challenge to today's dare to ride a high-altitude cable car tells me: The child is growing up and changing day by day. I really can no longer look at her with the same eyes as before.

I took the cable car to Panda Square Station for the first time, and then continued to take the small cable car for a tour around the park. After the cable car around the park, we took the small train back to Swan Lake Station and then took the cable car from Panda Square Station back to Swan Lake Station. We spent the first three hours in the safari park on the cable car. Our play concept is: as long as the children have fun, it doesn’t matter if they take the cable car three times in a row?

Fortunately, when I took the small train later, I didn't have to queue at all, I just got on the train directly at the station. Because we were riding the cable car earlier, it was already three o'clock after we finished lunch, and we planned to see the koalas again before leaving the park and returning to Zhuhai. Unexpectedly, while looking for the koala park, I visited the panda park and saw three adorable panda triplets. After coming out of the Panda Park, we played two children's entertainment projects, including high-altitude spinning. After spinning down from a high altitude, Dad Xin said that he was a little dizzy, but his daughter said very proudly: "Dad was dizzy, but I was not dizzy, so I took the initiative to take care of Dad!" Well, you can already take care of Dad in the amusement park project. Yeah, awesome!

In fact, it was already around three o'clock in the afternoon and almost four o'clock in the afternoon. The little guy's eyes looked very sleepy, but for the sake of fun, she still cheered up and went to look for the "Flower and Fruit Mountain", saying that the Monkey King was her good friend ( The result of listening to "Journey to the West" every day is that he calls himself a friend of the Monkey King). Watching tourists feeding monkeys in Huaguoshan, it was the first time I saw monkeys not only swimming but also diving! Learned a lot! I just kept watching the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain that refused to leave. I unexpectedly encountered the staff performing a fancy performance of blowing bubbles. This is a performance that no child can refuse! The happiest moment at the zoo is chasing bubbles. The bubble blowing performance ended at 4:30, the time for the zoo tour.

After watching the tour, we walked towards the north gate. I kept saying that I didn't want to go all the way and followed my parents. When he arrived at the door, the little guy's steps were already vague, but he still persisted. Dad Xin couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to carry her to the parking lot.

Later, when I got home, I asked her: When you were at the zoo, you were obviously tired and sleepy, why didn't you ask dad to hold you? My daughter said: "Because I have grown up. When I grow up, I have to learn to persevere, and I have to persevere even when I am tired!" It turns out that every time she wanted to hug her when she was tired, I told her She listened to what she said, "You must learn to persevere even when you are tired." So now, even if I am very tired, I am trying to persevere.

It turns out that parenting has never had immediate results, but over time and imperceptibly, everything you teach your child will slowly be imprinted into her body and mind, and become her behavior. For example, slowly become brave and learn to persevere. Therefore, believe in the power of time and the energy of growth.

Postscript: What is the meaning of travel? What is worth it? Is it worth it to play all the activities inside after buying a ticket? When I used to travel by myself, I was keen on checking in all the popular attractions. Nowadays, when traveling with children, they are less likely to check in at various attractions. What I value more is that children can play at their own pace, leave with joy, and return with a lot of fun. This is worthwhile. Just like, my daughter can happily wear a swimsuit and play in the sand in the water park, just like in the safari park, we can accompany our daughter to ride the cable car back and forth regardless of time, even if we don't have time to visit the koala pavilion in the end... Travel is a personal experience, and happiness is a personal feeling. If you and your family can feel happy, it is worth it.
