Chimelong Group Co., Ltd. (Chinese: 长隆集团; pinyin: Chánglóng Jítuán; Jyutping: coeng4 lung4 zaap6 tyun4) is a Chinese company that owns and operates theme parks in China.

[2] The company was founded in 1989 by Su Zhigang, a local resident in Panyu, Guangzhou, Guangdong, who first established Xiangjiang Restaurant, his first enterprise under Chimelong Group, prior to its upgrading into the current Xiangjiang Hotel in 1994.

Inspired by his success in the catering business, Su, after several field research visits to safari parks overseas, soon set up his mind to open a private zoo; his aim was to allow the Chinese citizens to see wildlife from all over the world, without going abroad.

Chimelong International Ocean Resort is located in Hengqin, Zhuhai, China and opened in 2014.

The park will feature an 88-metre tall building named “Giraffe Castle” and the world's largest aviary, occupying an area of 5 hectares.
