As the summer months are approaching, summer style pursuits are increasingly on the mind of residents of stifling urban areas. Not a lot of people know that the pleasures of beach-style activities are available in Beijing. Least known to many, is the fact that Tuanjiehu Park is home to not only one of the cleanest open air swimming pools in the city but is also the site of a man-made beach.
On a visit to the park and you can slide down one of the two water slides, lounge on a beach of golden yellow sand or join in a game of volleyball with friends. For that extra authentic seaside feeling the pool is even equipped with a wave machine. If it’s a hot day, open the closet and break out all your summer trappings – volleyball, sandals, swim suit, shorts, sun-tan lotion and beach towel – and make like a child; go imagine you are not in Beijing, but sunning your self in Hainan or some other far flung exotic location.
