If you are travelling with children and want a full day of fun away from the crowds of central Guangzhou, this complex in Huadu District, in the north of the city, is worth planning for. It was started by Wanda Group and later passed to Sunac, which opened it under its current name in 2019, making it one of the largest leisure hubs in southern China. It is so vast that a single day barely covers its highlights.

Why It's Worth Visiting

  • A theme park with local soul: its zones draw on Lingnan heritage, the ancient Nanyue Kingdom and the legend of the Five Rams linked to Guangzhou's founding, so you learn about the city while you play.
  • Live shows: performances and parades are spread throughout the day, so check the schedule at the entrance.
  • Skiing in the heat: an indoor snow hall offers a real winter experience even in Guangzhou's humid summer.
  • A water park with rides and pools for young and old during the hot months.
  • An attached mall and hotels let you comfortably split the visit over two days.

Tips Before You Go

  • The complex is fairly far from the city centre, so allow time for the metro or a taxi and start early.
  • Book tickets online in advance and avoid Chinese public holidays, when crowds peak.
  • Halal food inside is limited, so bring snacks or ask about seafood and vegetarian options.
  • Bring warm clothes for the snow hall and modest swimwear for the water park.
