Be a Jurassic Girl at Xiamen's Lingling Circus City

🦕💦 Xiamen's Summer Treasure Spot This summer, my bestie and I racked our brains to find a place that's "fun, photogenic, and not too hot," until we stumbled upon Xiamen's Lingling Circus City. From the adorable panda-themed rooms that made us squeal, to the Jurassic rainforest that felt like stepping into a movie, and the electrifying water party that left us soaked, this experience was nothing short of legendary. Here's the ultimate guide to this epic adventure! 🏨 The Joy of Staying in a Panda Room—Who Can Relate? The panda-themed room we booked was a "dream come true for girly hearts": a cuddly panda plush perched on the headboard, bamboo-patterned bedding, and even panda-face-shaped toothbrush cups. A casual bed photo for social media had everyone asking, "Are you staying in a panda den?" The amenities were super thoughtful: the air conditioning was so cool we needed a blanket, the bathroom had anti-slip mats (my bestie said it felt safer than her own bathroom), and food delivery robots brought our orders straight to our room. We enjoyed our meal while admiring the night view outside the window—so cozy we didn't want to leave! The best part? The location is unbeatable! A convenient guest-only passageway leads directly to Lingling Animal Kingdom and the Circus City, saving us from queuing under the sun or taking unnecessary detours. Perfect for lazybones and directionally challenged folks! 📸 4 Must-Visit Photo Spots to Dominate Your Social Media 1️⃣ Jurassic Rainforest Zone: Transform into a "Prehistoric Heroine" The moment we entered the park, a 3-meter-tall T-Rex startled us—but we immediately whipped out our phones to snap away! Must-capture spots: Pose in front of the "waterfall" with a pterosaur, and click the shutter as water splashes around you—the dinosaurs in the background look like they're roaring, creating a cinematic vibe. The "dining corner" with a baby triceratops is super heartwarming; crouch down to make eye contact for soft and lively photos. Outfit tip: Wear a light-colored tank top + denim shorts paired with combat boots for a wild prehistoric vibe. My bestie wore a floral dress and ended up looking like a "jungle fairy"—a surprising contrast! 2️⃣ Animal Interaction Zone: Heartwarming Moments with Adorable Creatures Don't just focus on the dinosaurs; the animals here are "walking meme generators": Giraffes will lower their heads to eat leaves from your hand, their lashes so long they look fake. Capture the moment they curl their tongues—it's so cute you'll want to take them home. White tigers basking on rocks make for stunning photos when you zoom out to capture their full bodies—their stripes against the green grass look like a painting. Red pandas cling to the glass, and if you wave a carrot stick, they'll stand up and stick their tongues out at the glass—a perfect TikTok moment! 3️⃣ Electric Water Party: Soaked but Stunning Photos At 5 PM near the Grand Theater, the electric water party is the craziest summer event: The dinosaur skeleton behind the DJ booth lights up, and when it sways to the music, a side-profile silhouette shot is pure aesthetic gold. Capture candid moments while splashing water with your bestie. The water droplets in the air refract sunlight into rainbows—no filter needed for stunning photos. Buff dinosaur NPCs are super interactive, posing with you in prehistoric stances. Guys on social media will be asking, "Where are these hunks from?" 4️⃣ Parade Route: Be the "Center of Attention" Don't miss the 4:10 PM Jurassic parade: When the dinosaur floats pass by, hop onto a nearby step, record a video with the dancing cavemen in the background, and pair it with upbeat music. Everyone will be asking, "Which music festival is this?" Grab a leaf bracelet to wear, and take a close-up shot while high-fiving the parade crew—it’s all about the details! 🔥 Hidden Gems for Bestie Adventures After a tiring day of photos, grab a "dinosaur-shaped smoothie" from the park's cold drink stand and watch the "The Croods" performance. Don't forget to record the fire-breathing moment—my bestie's scream still cracks me up every time I watch it. Before the water party, buy a cute water gun. Spraying strangers is super stress-relieving, and getting completely soaked is the ultimate summer vibe. Bring a change of clothes; the hotel is nearby, so you can easily freshen up. 📝 Practical Tips (Take Notes!) Tickets: Online group deals are cheaper than on-site purchases. Opt for the "hotel + circus city combo ticket" for convenience and savings. Gear: Bring a waterproof phone pouch, flip-flops, and quick-dry clothes! Don’t go barefoot like us—our soles got sunburned. Timing: Enter the park at 10 AM and stay until 9 PM to cover all attractions. Take a midday break at the hotel to cool off and avoid the hottest hours. This summer, stop asking "Where to go in Xiamen?" Lingling Circus City's dinosaurs, adorable animals, wild parties, and bestie moments will max out your happiness meter! Grab your photo buddy and spend a day as a "prehistoric girl"! ⏰ Operating Hours: 10:00 AM - 9:30 PM 💡 Reminder: Be gentle when interacting with animals—they’re our friends.
