In late April, since Changlong Group officially announced the news of resuming business during May Day, it has swiped the screens in major Group chats. Especially the "Guangzhou Moms Group" where Wonton's mother belongs has received constant attention.

Indeed, among the major check-in spots around Guangzhou, Chimelong is one of the most popular ones. Especially for parents traveling with their children, this is a good place for the beasts at home to have fun and feel comfortable.

With the reopened Changlong Scenic Area, can I safely take my children to play? What are the rules for visiting scenic spots after the epidemic? There is no fully open park. Is it worth playing?... Maybe you have thousands of doubts about visiting scenic spots now, so you might as well collect this all-round guide.

What can I do in Changlong, which is "partially open"?

I believe everyone has seen a lot of the term "partially opened" recently. If you put it in Chimelong, what can you see at this stage?

According to the official announcement, starting from April 30, the current opening stage is Guangzhou Chimelong Wildlife World, Guangzhou Chimelong Panda Hotel, Zhuhai Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, and Zhuhai Chimelong Penguin Hotel. That is, the very popular mobile game-themed happy world, the water park, and the circus-themed circus are temporarily unavailable.

What needs to be noted more is that none of the currently open parks are completely open. The enclosed indoor venues will not be open for the time being, including the "star" venues in the park: the Panda Village Indoor Pavilion and 4D Theater at the Chimelong Wildlife World in Guangzhou, the Whale Shark Pavilion in the Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai (which is the well-known Aquarium advertised, the giant fish tank), the Beluga Whale Theater, the Beluga Whale Pavilion, etc.

Without some star events, what else can we play? In short, it is"Guangzhou watches animals, Zhuhai watches theaters."

In the three months since the Changlong Wildlife World in Guangzhou was closed, three more baby giraffes were born on the "East African Prairie", and they have grown to 2 meters high. Taking your children to see cute baby animals is a pleasure. In Zhuhai Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, there are mainly rich performances, such as the ocean parade in the afternoon and the fireworks display in the evening. They are all extremely exciting programs, and the carnival-like atmosphere is also quite attractive.

Seeing this, many people will question, with this level of openness, is it cost-effective to buy tickets to enter the park? You know, tickets to Changlong Scenic Area are not cheap!Wonton's mother's truth is: the price is good.

Based on the current ticket price discounts announced by the scenic spot, during the May Day period, tickets to Guangzhou Chimelong Wildlife World will be 30% off, with the original price of 350 yuan, and the special price of 245 yuan; tickets to Zhuhai Chimelong Ocean Kingdom will be 60% off, with the original price of 450 yuan, and the special price of 270 yuan.

To be fair, this is the price standard of Guangzhou Chimelong more than ten years ago, and Zhuhai Chimelong has also returned to the price it was when it was initially tested. Compared with the play items and prices at that time, the price/performance ratio is comparable to what is now. If you are still like Wonton's mother, carrying a young baby with a height of less than 1 meter, you can still enjoy the discount of free admission for children, which will make the price/performance even higher.

Is it safe to take my children to play in Chimelong at this stage?

If you look at the process, the answer to this question is yes.

According to Changlong's official announcement, the scenic spot will implement the regulations of the Culture and Tourism Bureau, accept passengers at a maximum daily carrying capacity of 30%, and implement an appointment system at the same time. In practice, tourists must go through multiple checkpoints such as wearing masks, taking their body temperature, verifying their health codes and ID cards before entering the park.

However, these are all official announcements, and everyone may not have actual sense. Especially as parents, all we worry about is whether this popular attraction will be crowded? Long queues everywhere? Can you maintain interpersonal distance to ensure that your baby is safer when going out?

For these doubts, we may as well turn them into numbers and experience to answer them. The daily carrying capacity of Guangzhou Chimelong Wildlife World and Zhuhai Chimelong Marine Kingdom is 100,000 and 104947 respectively. Roughly calculated, there are about 30,000 people traveling together. Although this number is quite a lot, the density is not expected to be too high. On the one hand, the area of Chimelong Park is indeed large; on the other hand, based on the observation of professional tourism practitioners, Chimelong's measures to divert people are among the best among the major scenic spots.

To sum up, although there are fewer open places, it is estimated that the tourist density is still lower than the usual weekend. Judging from data and experience, if you can make an appointment during the May Day holiday, it is okay to take your children to Changlong to play. However, as parents, when traveling with their babies, they must be more comprehensively prepared and always pay attention. Only parents will always be their children's strongest shields, including in the face of the virus, what do you think?

Every journey with children is an interesting and precious encounter in life.
