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 out 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 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 historic 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 a whale shark 68 metres in length. 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!
