There are a variety of parks in Beijing. Historical and culture parks, theme parks and city parks can be main styles. And I think that you may have finished your trip in historical and culture parks such as Beihai Park, Summer Palace or Old Summer Palace. Because they are must-go spots for most China Tours. So this time I just want to summarize some modern kinds of parks. And you can make a better choice when arranging your Beijing Tours.
City parks
Olympic Forest Park
City parks are good places for foreigners to get better understanding about Beijing locals’ lives. And I think the Olympic Forest Park could be the top representative city park in Beijing. It has been regarded as the back garden of 29th Olympic Games. And it is 10 times larger than Beihai Park. It is surrounded by bamboos, reeds, lotus, and maple with rational layout and fresh air. There you can see Pinnacle range upon range of hills and the beauty of lakes and mountains. The park is suitable for both tourists visiting and citizens taking a walk.
Chaoyang Park
It is the largest city park within the 4th ring in Beijing. And it is designed as a multifunctional culture and entertainment city park. It is worth mentioning that Chaoyang Park is the second refuge in Beijing (Yuandadu City Wall Ruins is the first one). I think you should have a visit to it .
Besides, the North 2nd Ring City Park is very close to Yonghe Lama Temple.
Theme parks in Beijing
Happy valley
This could be the must-go theme park especially for those who have children. May be you can consider it as China’s Disney land before any Disneyland built up in the mainland. And Beijing Amusement Park had closed up for several months. Full ticket in Happy Valley is 120yuan per person. Discount prices are 100yuan for university students and 60yuan for middle and primary students with valid student ID.
Happy Valley is made up of six main theme areas: Wild Fjord, Atlantis, Aegean Harbor, Lost Maya, Shangri-La and Ant Kingdom. Except those famous breathtaking items, the olds can follow the trace along Aegean Harbor and Maya Town, land in Atlantis gathered energy airship, seek the historical remains, and feel the unimaginable humanity charm. And kids can go to Ant Kingdom, get know about society, nature and ecosystem, feel the fun of arts and kinds of experience activities. It is the theme park that can satisfy all people.
Bird Nest theme park
It is located by the bird nest. And it is one of the reuses of Olympic heritages. Themes there can be changed. The latest theme is Explore Science Dinosaur Island. And it aimed to popularize science and environmental protection knowledge. And at the beginning of this year, there was dream theme park– World chocolate dream park. I suggest this changeable theme park place because it is always held by the side of Bird Nest. Once you visit Bird Nest, you may find surprising theme activity holding there.
Besides, Beijing World Park, familiar with the Window of World in Shenzhen and Changsha, is also theme park in China. But I wonder whether it is suitable for you.
In fact, since the Bird Nest and Water Cube are located by there. I think you can collect the stadiums, theme parks and the Olympic Forest Park together and take a full day trip in that scenic area. Night scene is very nice as well.
Hope it is helpful for your Travel to Beijing to a certain degree.
