The Guangzhou Chimelong Tourist Resort is set for a major upgrade.

Currently, the resort features four major attractions: Chimelong Safari Park, Chimelong Paradise, Chimelong Water Park, and Chimelong International Circus, attracting over 16 million visitors annually. It has become a hallmark of Guangzhou's tourism industry. After more than a decade of development, the Chimelong-Wanbo area has become a key focus of construction in Guangzhou's Panyu District.

How will Chimelong Tourist Resort evolve into an international tourism brand? Guangzhou has unveiled a new plan.

A key highlight of the plan is the development of a new "one core, four parks" layout for Chimelong Tourist Resort. This involves constructing a new world-class theme park covering 43 hectares, alongside Chimelong Safari Park, Chimelong Water Park, Chimelong Paradise, and a "resort hub". The new theme park will be connected with existing parks to the east and north, while the west will expand to meet tourism demands, offering a comprehensive tourism experience that includes the new park, hotels, parking structures, and supporting tourism facilities. The southern section will integrate with open public urban spaces, providing a combination of cultural, commercial, tourism, and sports amenities.

The 43-hectare theme park will offer upgraded attractions and a deeper immersive experience. Additionally, there will be a central park covering 9 hectares, themed around cultural and recreational activities for residents. A 13-hectare tourist transportation plaza will integrate tourist distribution plaza, parking structures and bus terminals. A 15-hectare themed district is planned as an open recreational street featuring cultural tourism, shopping, dining, studios, and accommodations.

Accessibility is a crucial factor for the success of the new theme park. Therefore, the plan proposes improving the secondary and branch road network to enhance transportation links to Chimelong and its surrounding areas. A green traffic calming network will also be built, encircling the resort with a continuous ecological space. This network will connect key points such as metro and bus stations and commercial areas, with bicycle parking available at these locations to ensure smooth and sustainable transportation options.

广州将要新建一座43公顷的世界级超级乐园！

广州长隆旅游度假区将迎来重大升级。

广州长隆旅游度假区现有野生动物世界、欢乐世界、水上乐园、大马戏四大旅游板块，年客流量超过1600万人次，已成为广州旅游度假名片。经过十多年的建设，长隆-万博片区已成为广州番禺区的重点建设地区。

如何将长隆旅游度假区打造成为国际旅游品牌项目？广州有新的规划。

规划的一大看点是构建长隆旅游度假区“一心四园”的乐园格局，即对标国际顶级乐园，新建一座面积达43公顷的超级乐园，与长隆野生动物世界、长隆水上乐园、长隆欢乐世界，以及“乐园枢纽”一起构建长隆旅游度假区“一心四园”格局。项目范围东部、北部规划新建乐园与现有的乐园联动；西部面向旅游区扩容需求，打造集超级乐园、酒店、停车楼、旅游配套于一体的深度体验旅游空间；南部联动公共开放的城市空间，提供文商旅体融合配套功能。

其中，超级乐园面积43公顷，升级游乐空间，提供深度游乐体验；中轴公园面积9公顷，以文体休闲为主题，面向市民服务；旅游交通广场面积13公顷，集旅游集散广场、停车楼、公交枢纽于一体；主题街区15公顷，是集文旅、商业、餐饮、工作室、住宿等于一体的开放式特色游乐街区。

对于超级乐园而言，交通通达度也是一个重要指标。为此，规划提出完善次支路网，改善长隆园区及周边的出行条件。与此同时，构建绿色慢行网络，打造环绕长隆园区的漫游绿环，构建连续的生态空间。通过慢行网络串联地铁站点、公交站点及商业区等人流集散处，同时在集散处配置自行车停放点，提高慢行接驳便捷性。
