The world of water, where you can spend the whole day and not get tired of impressions. She throws you and caresses, excites and lulls you. This human-directed element can deliver a lot of pleasure and adrenaline at the same time.
Water park in numbers
The water kingdom, called Chimelong Water Park, spreads over an area of about 8 hectares. The park was opened in 2006. And already in 2007 he was awarded the honorary prize of the International Association of Amusement Parks in the nomination "Must-see Park". About 40,000 people can be accommodated here every day. This is not surprising because the scale of the park is enormous.
Record holders
In this abundance of rides that are breathtaking to look at, there is one that exists in a single copy in the whole world. The famous "lazy river" with a length of about 5 kilometers is still the longest artificial river. On a comfortable inflatable mattress with a capacity of your choice for two, three or four people, you will travel down the river through the park, overcoming the ice room, sudden waterfalls, storms and much more. The current will carry the raft, and you, bending around the entire park around the perimeter, will take in all the splendor with your gaze, if only possible with its size.
The next unusual action, which is not repeated anywhere else, is the "fall of a hippopotamus" attraction. On a small inflatable raft, the stream of water carries you from a height of 20 meters along a narrow translucent tunnel and suddenly it ends and at a tremendous speed of 10 meters per second you fall into a large bowl-funnel, where you continue to move in a circular motion, gradually slowing down, and only after that you get through the hole in the middle of the bowl along the gutter into the pool. Impressive! Only desperate daredevils agree to such a trip. For the safety of this structure, engineers even received a patent for an invention.
For kids
Water parks are perceived mainly as a place for family recreation. Therefore, no one will be bored here. For children who have not yet grown to 140 cm, there are special children's slides that are no different from the rest, except perhaps the height. There are one or two lifeguards near each of them. They will help the child to splash down, and, after making sure that everything is in order with him, they will prompt where else to go. Warm water gushes from the fountains and children enjoy swimming in these splashes. In the pools located in the children's corner of the park, the depth is very shallow for safety and there are lifeguards every 30 meters.
Steep slides
You can spend the whole day in the water park, as there are a lot of attractions here. In total, there are 15 slides of various heights with an angle of inclination up to 45 ° C. And each of them differs from the other in configuration, length and effects. Some of them are 15 meters high and about a kilometer long. Each slide is designed differently. There are closed tunnels and open slides, bowls and barrels of water pouring out on you. It is impossible to describe this splendor in words. You just need to come and experience all these feelings for yourself.
Are you tired and hungry
After violent emotions and water procedures, you need to refresh yourself and relax. For this, there are many cafes and restaurants. The food is varied and no one will be left hungry. For those who are tired and decided to take some rest, there are comfortable sun loungers on the shore. Nestled in the shade of palm trees, you can take a nap here.
Other entertainment
Several other emotions await visitors in the huge pool with artificial waves. On the stage, which is located in its center, the action is constantly taking place: sometimes beautiful girls dance, then gymnasts perform. And all this happens to the music that pours from huge speakers. And at the moment of the most violent emotions, water cannons turn on. Emotional outburst!
For your comfort
For a comfortable pastime, everything has been thought out to the smallest detail. It all starts with the entrance. When buying a ticket, you are given free plastic waterproof tubes for money and all kinds of trifles. If you do not want to carry around with money, then there is an option with an electronic bracelet, on which you can put a certain amount. Subsequently, on the territory of the park, you pay with them like a plastic card. The remaining funds will be returned to you at the exit.
You leave your belongings in a safe place, for which you take a number for your locker. The changing rooms are divided into men's and women's. You leave your things. Take with you only slippers and, if necessary, a towel. And go on a journey through the water paradise.
For your safety
Safety comes first here. Do not be surprised at the number of rescuers who, like special forces soldiers, stand literally every 50 meters. But they act very unobtrusively. For the same purpose, the descent on almost all slides is carried out on inflatable mattresses and small rugs, which can be purchased independently on the territory or received at the entrance to the attraction.
Important little things
A good organization of recreation is already half the battle. Before visiting the park, you need to be aware of the little things that may not be included in your plans. You do not need to carry food and drink with you. At the entrance to the park, you will definitely be asked about this. In order to maintain order, eating here is possible only in a cafe or restaurant, many of which are in the open air, surrounded by greenery.
If you are over 190 cm tall and weigh 100 kg, then very few attractions will be available to you.
The Chinese mostly do not know how to swim, so a life jacket will be a necessary attribute on some rides for your own safety.
The trip should be planned for either early spring or late autumn. It's too hot here from May to September.
How to get there on your own
You can get to Guangzhou by plane from almost any city. Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport is located 28 kilometers from the city.
You can get from the airport to the city by metro, taxi or bus. Everything is in close proximity to the airport terminal.
The third metro line runs to the park. You need to get off at Chimelong Station. From there there is a bus to the water park.
Enjoy your experience!
