Chimelong Water Park
Sprawling record-holding water park with a giant wave pool, thrill slides and a floating lazy river.
This guide to Chimelong Water Park in Guangzhou follows a visitor named Hou, who waded into the children's wading pool on August 7, 2024, with a chemical test kit rather than a swimsuit, and got a chlorine reading more than double what China allows for a children's pool. It traces what happened when he asked to test again, staff pulled the children out citing a storm, and he filed a complaint with the Panyu District Health Bureau, while word of his numbers spread online about the park billing itself as the most attended water park on Earth. Watch the readings posted at poolside next time you pass one.
