On August 8th, Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park held the "Opening Ceremony of the 2025 Chimelong Koala Carnival and the 20th anniversary of Introducing Australian koalas.

As China's first institution approved to introduce Australian national treasure, the koala,Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park, since receiving its first batch of six koalas in April 2006,has made remarkable conservation achievements.Just six months after their introduction, the koala "Taotao" gave birth to the world's only koala twins, koala Michelle and Amanda. Today, the koala family has grown to 85 members, forming a stable population spanning eight generations and boasting the largest koala population outside Australia. Among them, "Taotao" has now become a great-great-grandmother within the koala family, a role comparable to that of a centenarian in human terms.

Chimelong Safari Park also launched a series of theme-based experiences, including brand-new koala-themed cable cars that offer elevated viewing perspectives and comprehensively upgraded thematic decorations and interpretive signage that create an immersive Australian-style experience.
