Chimelong Paradise

[V1213]

I'm going to be in Hong Kong in February and will be visiting HKDL and Ocean Park, but since I have an extra day up my sleeve I thought it'd be fun to head over to mainland China for a day and see if I could make it to Guangzhou's almost-1-year-old Chimelong Paradise amusement park.

 

Even though I cannot find any Trip Reports from the park on this forum, I was hoping that someone else here has visited the park before and would be able to offer advice of how to actually get there.

I'm planning to arrive from HK on the KCR train, into Guangzhou East Station.

I believe the Metro (subway) is being extended down to the Chimelong complex in time, but is not there yet and the official site only lists a few bus routes, with no information of where one can actually catch said buses from. Last resort is always to try and catch a cab, with a hard copy of the page's website to show to the driver.

 

Does anyone have any experience with this park or is able to offer some assistance, even if about mainland China public transport in general?

Haven't done the park but looked into it a bit and at that time it was pretty much taxi only.

 

Also, as of last year you needed a day Visa to go from Hong Kong into the Guangzhou area.

 

Sorry I can't help more. Please post a TR when you return!
