The autumn breeze is gentle and refreshing. Recently, many attractions in Beijing have launched light and water curtain performances, where light, music, and splashes intertwine to create a vivid audio-visual feast.
Olympic Forest Park South Area
Recently, the Olympic Forest Park has opened a musical fountain located at Aohai in the South Area. This is the main lake of the park's South Area and serves as the core of the Olympic Park's "dragon-shaped water system."
At specific times, visitors can see a long row of super-high water columns from the south gate of the Olympic Forest Park South Area, creating a water curtain 125 meters wide and up to 30 meters high. Accompanied by the melody of music, the fountain's water columns shift from gentle to powerful, showcasing the "Aohai Water Show."
The nighttime musical fountain is even more stunning, with dynamic water columns and dazzling neon lights, accompanied by beautiful melodies. Water, light, sound, and color blend together in a harmonious dance. Nearby, the Olympic Tower light show echoes the "Aohai Water Show," creating a breathtaking and immersive experience.

Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park
Recently, the first Light and Shadow Art and Culture Festival opened at Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park. The event will run until October 7th.

This water curtain movie perfectly combines sound, light, and water, offering visitors a breathtaking audio-visual experience.
