    Been to Guanghzou many times. But never had the time to do any activities. This time we searched and it was recommended. It is not very far and price is ok. Place is very nicely managed , a lot of kids , some school trip. Who were really friendly and for them we are as foreigners something really interesting. Watching all the animals, including rare monkeys, snakes, kamodo dragon, pandas was a treat. Washrooms and food was available. Only thing was park ends at a place which is on the other side of the park where you parked. So you have to wait for a buss for almost half hr to an hour to go to your parking. Other than that it was day well spent.

    This was my second visit to Shenzhen Safari Park in over ten years. Firstly, there seemed to be fewer visitors, and secondly, the park seemed smaller (though actually the same size, perhaps not as captivating as my first visit). The animals weren't particularly special; I quickly walked through, fed the pelicans and zebras, and only briefly toured the predator enclosure. The only difference this time was the addition of some entertainment shows (they might have existed before, but I hadn't noticed). There was a circus performance, half an hour long, not spectacular but not boring either; the African dances were quite energetic. The mermaid show was crowded due to the limited and small viewing windows, and couldn't compare to similar shows at Mission Hills Ocean World. I expected the animal extravaganza to be grand, with many animals, especially predators. However, there were few predators, and even fewer mammals; it mainly consisted of various birds taking turns soaring around. Overall, it was okay for children.

    Jingshan Park, located at No. 44 Jingshan West Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, offers the best panoramic view of the Forbidden City and Beijing's central axis.

    Amazing and huge aquarium with rare species of fishes. We love the mermaid show at the end of the area. Good for those who love undersea water creatures. Need to spend at least 2-4 hours, if u have small kids, do catch the mermaid show in time.

    Chikan Ancient Town boasts beautiful scenery and is perfect for taking photos, making it ideal for a day trip. Recommended attractions include the iron flower performance and the "Modern Times" show. The iron flower performance is quite impressive and I'd definitely watch it again.
