                                                    that American southerners made 150 years ago is a rare
                  experience. Riding on the only steam engine still working in the southeastern United States is a
                  special treat. And for those who like rides, Dollywood has a superb old wooden roller coaster,
                  Thunderhead. It is world-famous for having the longest track in the smallest space. Come to
                  Dollywood to have fun learning all about America’s historical southeastern culture!


                  Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai, China, is one of the leading ocean-themed parks in the
                  world. Here you can walk under the Whale Shark Aquarium—the world’s largest—and see up
                  to 20,000 fish, in addition to whale sharks. Watching the dolphin and sea lion shows is both

                  educational and fun. Of course, you can also see all kinds of interesting animals, including polar
                  bears. The park has more rides than you can imagine: join a water fight against pirates, get
                  turned upside down by an exciting roller coaster, or get wet in one of the water rides! Then at
                  night, see the splendid Journey of Lights Parade and fireworks display. Hungry? The park has
                  plenty of restaurants with tasty food for every appetite—you can even eat while watching the
                  fish swim by. If it is ocean entertainment that you are looking for, come to Chimelong Ocean
                  Kingdom!
