Chinese people are embracing the first day of sanfu, the hottest and dampest period on Chinese calendar, on Friday. For Beijingers, a "wonderland" in Beijing's Fangshan District is perfect for escaping the summer heat.

Changyang Park, as a part of Fangshan New Town Riverside Forest Park, which comprises Xiaoqing River and Yaba River, Changyang Park and University Park, was rated as an “exquisite park” of the city by Beijing Gardening and Greening Bureau (Capital Greening Office) in 2013.

The local natural conditions endow the park with two rivers accompanied by two gardens, revealing an ecological waterfront landscape, planted with 53,550 arbors, 199,120 shrub, 717,952 perennial flowers, 105,743 square meters of lawn, and 668,914 square meters of ground cover plants.

The Park combines artificial landscapes with original ecological landscapes, forming an ideal place for leisure, recreation and sports - a downtown forest landscape embracing a variety of plant communities. The comprehensive urban area in the Park highlights three main feature themed scenic spots, namely Xianting Xinbu (Strolling in Courtyards), Ningxia Qiuse (Rosy-cloud Autumn Scenery), and Chunhua Qiushi (Spring Splendor and Autumn Fruit).
