Dollywood, in the beautiful Smoky Mountains in
southeastern USA, is unique because it shows and
celebrates America’s traditional southeastern culture.
Famous country music groups put on performances there
all year round, indoors and outdoors. People come from
all over America to see skilled workers make wood, glass,
and iron objects in the old-fashioned way. Visiting the
candy shop and trying some of the same kind of candy
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!
