Many people may think when travelling to Beijing that they are entering a place full of skyscrapers and busy city atmosphere. However, if you are one for exploring the scenic and more tranquil attractions Chaoyang Park is the place for you to visit. Travel to Beijing and relax by taking a tour through the beautiful park. Why wait, book your flights via Air China and take a break from your everyday life.
Chaoyang Park, also known as “Sun Park”, offers a great range of activities for families, small groups, and for individuals. This public park covering 288.7 hectares features flower gardens, fairground rides (including a roller coaster), landscaped areas and several large swimming pools. Located centrally there is a lake that intertwines with all areas of the park. An amazing feature of this particular park is that you can hire a variety of boats, depending on how many people you are with, and explore the park on a cruise around the calming lake.
On the lake you are left to your own devices to explore and navigate around the park. On the lake I came across beautiful lakeside palaces, a lakeside view of the rollercoasters, views of the surrounding city and other friendly boat users. The experience was magical. Strolling on the lakeside was a relaxing and new experience that provided me with a break from the crowds and rush in the city center. Whilst meandering down the river it became apparent that the Chaoyang Park possess much more than beautiful scenery. Floating upon the lake a sense of serenity and spiritual calmness possessed me. It was as though I was transported into a different world that was concaved by the concrete jungle of Beijing.
Following a boat cruise it there is still a vast amount of the park to see. The pathways intertwine with different features in the park. There are monuments and statues to admire for their beauty. Many people stop along the way and take photos amongst the picturesque trees and shrubbery. If you are not the walking type, there are pedal buggies that you can hire which make the journey around the park swift yet still allowing you to absorb the marvels Chaoyang Park has to offer.
As a large modern type multi-functional park of entertainment, Chaoyang Park feathers with the function of oversea sightseeing and culture industrial district, combining with the gardens, architecture style, entertainments, culture, science, sports and educations, which mostly learned from the foreign countries. Therefore, it offers a range of activities for all age groups to occupy themselves with. Open from 6am – 6pm Chaoyang Park will make time fly so make sure you allow enough time to explore it all.
