At Chimelong Forest Kingdom in Qingyuan, Guangdong Province, an Asian elephant calf named "Wu Yi" turned one month old on May 21. The calf was seen playing in a mud pit under the care of its mother and other herd members.
Backed by rich wildlife resources and a well-established conservation system, the resort will officially launch a new self-drive safari project during the upcoming summer holiday, offering visitors immersive encounters with rare wildlife.
The safari zone will allow visitors to drive through animal habitats and observe African wildlife, such as lions, giraffes, and rhinoceroses, at close range.
Since 2015, Chimelong has been developing a national-level wildlife conservation base in Qingyuan, including facilities for South China tiger breeding, wildlife rescue, and ecological research.
The park has established conservation systems covering genetic management, precision nutrition, disease prevention, and habitat maintenance, supporting species such as African elephants, giraffes, and black rhinoceroses. It is home to some of the world's largest ex-situ conservation populations of these species and the country's only black rhinoceros population.
