This year’s dog days are hot every day. Its a plus version this year.

Dabbling is the most natural way to escape from the summer heat. You can enjoy the coolness in the city instead of going to the beach or the suburbs.

Qingnianhu Park is located in Dongcheng District, west of Andingmenwai Street, with a water surface area of 61,100 ㎡. Wandering in this park in summer, you can feel the gentle breeze.

It is said that this area was originally water-logged ground. Later, young people in this district volunteered to dredge it into a lake and it’s famous for it.

The most famous is the Water World in this park, where parents take their children to swim and splash around every summer.

Water World is the only large outdoor swimming pool in the Third Ring Road which integrates dabble, amusement and fitness. The water area is 3000 m2 and can accommodate 1,200 people.

Four water slides provide a super cool experience for those surfers.

The water village is novel and mysterious, and you can play hide-and-seek on the water. You can come and enjoy it.

There is also a hydrotherapy pool where you can experience the bubble massage.

There are parasols, chairs and other facilities in the resting area, and there is also a convenient dining area outside the swimming pool.

The Water World extended its opening hours since July. It closes at 8 pm now. If you get off work early, you can play around after work.

There is a Cultural and Sports Plaza next to the Water World. The large open space is perfect for singing and dancing. Behind the sculpture is a ginkgo forest, which is gorgeous in autumn.

The greenery in the park is very good. Walking along the river with the tall trees, it’s a pleasant experience.

There is an island in the lake surrounded by willow trees. There is a white stone bridge on the other side of the island leading to the other shore.

You can also go boating on the lake if you are interested.

There are many small squares in the park. The Passion Square and Fan-shaped Square are not far away, but each has its own characteristics.

The Passion Square is relatively large, which is suitable for dancing. There is also a small pavilion for rest.

The Fan-shaped Square is very suitable for couples. The benches are matched with creeper and children can play on the slide.

The sculpture in the exercise plaza is quite funny.

The golf course is a little bit far. Walking along the small path, the door is not big with a sign of “ball games center” hanging at the door.

It is an independent house with a lawn outside for golf practice. Interested friends can come and try it.

Although the flowers are not as beautiful as summer, they show vigorous vitality everywhere.
