The Water World in Qingnianhu Park is a 1.5-hectare activity paradise for tourists who want to enjoy the great outdoors and soak up the sun. The spacious park can accommodate as many as 3,000 visitors at one time. The floodlit pools at the Water World keep the park open into the evenings during the peak summer months.

The Water World is just one of the many features of Qingnianhu Park, which literally means "lake of youngsters". It was excavated in 1960 by a young brood of lads with the help of the local government. Whether you’re a foreign tourist or a weary worker in search of rest and relaxation, the Water World in Qingnianhu Park is the perfect destination for you.

The Water World in Qingnianhu Park is famous all throughout China for its 11 water slides all in all. Some slides are six-stories high, which make it perfect for individuals who are looking for an adrenaline rush like no other.

For those who are afraid of heights, they can enjoy the twin outdoor swimming pools that occupy 6,000 square meters of prime land. The pools are floodlit as well so swimmers can enjoy the waters even at nighttime.

In contrast to the park’s beautiful sceneries are Qingnianhu’s modern sculptures. These contemporary edifices make the park a truly enticing tourist destination. Apart from its lovely views, there are many other things you will enjoy in Qingnianhu. After a day of tireless swimming, children can enjoy the adrenaline-filled action of the park’s bumper cars. There’s also a swinging pirate ship so you don’t have to transfer to another theme park just to give your child the fun he or she desires. Afterwards, the kids can visit the Sculpture Garden of Play Characters. Qingnianhu also has a croquet park where adults and children alike can get physical. There’s also a sedan basketball court for visitors who want to get athletic and shoot some hoops.
