These Water Parks Are Open To Help You Stay Cool This Summer
It’s just the beginning of summer and the temperatures are already getting nigh unbearable. Well, what better way to cool yourself down than to splash into some of Beijing’s best water parks!
Huan Le Shui Magic Water Park
Featuring Asia’s first 20-meter high tube water slide, the Huan Le Shui water park has 13 major attractions including a wave pool, “tsunami” pool, lazy river, “tornado” water slides, and a magic castle suitable for younger kids to explore its shallow depths. An all-day adult ticket will set you back RMB 168 and a child is RMB 115, and trust us, you’ll need a full day to truly experience everything this park has to offer.

Olympic Water Park (Shunyi)
This park has it all – lush green spaces, an indoor kids playground, and even an ice-skating rink! But we’d like to draw your attention to its 10km long outdoor water arena which was built to host the 2008 rowing and canoeing Olympic events. While we may not be Olympians, these days the park is open for all sorts of water sports such as canoeing, rowing, sailing, and most thrilling of all, cable wakeboarding! There’s also a large outdoor pool with some kid-friendly amenities. A tip from other visitors: The entire park spans over 300,000 square meters and while it does offer a few restaurants, it’s recommended to pack plenty of snacks and maybe even a picnic lunch to take full advantage of the beautifully manicured lawns and poolside. Entry tickets are only RMB 20 but you’ll have to top up for all other activities.
