Trip.com Highlights Growing Demand for China Travel as Guangzhou and Zhuhai Gain Popularity Among International Visitors
According to Trip.com, improved accessibility, a vibrant food scene, and the availability of first-timer-friendly destinations are contributing to this trend.
Among the key drivers is Chimelong Resort, a leading entertainment and hospitality brand in China, known for its integrated resort model combining theme parks, marine attractions and safari experiences. These offerings position the resort as a one-stop destination for travelers seeking diverse experiences ranging from thrill rides to wildlife encounters.
At Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai Hengqin, visitors can explore marine attractions through a panoramic aquarium viewing panel measuring 8.3 meters in height and 39.6 meters in width. Signature experiences include the "Polar Explorer" roller coaster, which simulates travel through icy terrain, and the interactive "Battle of the Pirates" water-based attraction, offering seasonal family entertainment.
The Chimelong Spaceship, a space-themed indoor marine science park, is marketed as one of the world's largest indoor amusement parks, combining marine life exhibits such as orcas with immersive attractions including the "Bermuda Storm" motion simulator and "Deep Sea Submarine."
In Guangzhou, Chimelong Safari Park features over 300 species of animals, including the world's only surviving giant panda triplets — Mengmeng, Shuaishuai and Kuku, representing a milestone in panda conservation. In late 2024, Mengmeng gave birth to a cub, Mei Zhu, further enhancing the park's appeal to visitors.
