The right way to open Chaoyang Park
Chaoyang Park, the second largest park in Beijing
Chaoyang Park, formerly known as ShuiDuiZi Park, was constructed in 1984, with a total area of 288.7 hectares, and is a large-scale cultural and recreational park with a comprehensive and multi-functional landscape. It is a large-scale cultural and recreational park. It is not only a national 4A level scenic spot, but also the largest city park within the fourth ring road of Beijing.
Chaoyang Park is divided into eight different zones, including the Central Activity Zone, the Sports and Cultural Activity Zone, and the Ecological Science and Technology Zone, with a main north-south axis and two east-west auxiliary axes as the skeleton.
Unlike the history and culture of the city of Beijing, Chaoyang Park has nothing to do with history or culture, and is purely a place for people to relax, which is very grounded (and even a bit earthy).
But the good news is that Chaoyang Park is huge.
There is no need to worry about "want to enjoy the flowers, see all the people", "want to run, half an hour to run the whole field", "want to take a break, but always can not find the empty space! "The situation is like this. Throw people to Chaoyang Park, instantly can not be found.
The location of Chaoyang Park is also quite good, surrounded by subway stations and bus stops, and adjacent to the Blue Harbor, you can eat a meal after shopping in the park.
The right way to open Chaoyang Park
01/ The Chaoyang people are here
Chaoyang Park is one of the best places in the world to eat. "It's a favorite place for the Chaoyang people to hang out after dinner, practicing tai chi, dancing a bit, and taking a look at the marriage corner, where they might even run into a celebrity.
In 2012, Chaoyang Park became a hit because of the label "dating resort". Besides that, the chances of meeting a celebrity here are high, as there are many high-class international apartments in the vicinity.
The Chaoyang people, of course, didn't want to miss out on a place full of "intel".
02/ Walking is the way to go
If you ask me, walking in Chaoyang Park is the way to go. As a national 4A park, Chaoyang Park has a very high vegetation cover.
Since the last time I took a taxi to Zhongshan Park, the driver asked me, "What's a young girl doing there?
But when it comes to parks, especially Chaoyang Park, I quickly think of Beijing's granddaddy who spins 360 degrees on the gym equipment, and the ladies who dance day and night.
03/ A "monster run"
The "little monster" in Chaoyang Park is a secret found by those who run in Chaoyang Park all year round. The secret is that when you run 6 kilometers along the prescribed runway, you will find that the entire running path forms a hidden monster, so this run is also known as the "monster run" by the runners.
Because of its size, Chaoyang Park is very suitable for running, and in 2015, together with Ossen Park, it was named one of the Top 10 annual running destinations in the country.
In addition, Chaoyang Park's running facilities are also very user-friendly, with four different lengths of runway and street lights every 30 meters, which makes it convenient for fitness runners to run at night.
04/ This is Beijing's "lungs"
Located in the northern part of Chaoyang Park's green area, the Ecological Water Stream is a natural valley between the hills. The area is planted with a variety of plants, including sequoia, weeping willow, and other plants, and there are wooden bridges and pavilions on the water for visitors to rest and stroll.
The significance of a park to a city is not only to provide leisure for its citizens.
Large areas of green space and water will make the surrounding air contain more negative air ions and oxygen. Like New York's Central Park, which provides an urban oasis for Manhattan and is known as the city's "green lung".
Chaoyang Park is the same for Beijing, with 68.2 hectares of water and five lakes. When you open the map, you will see that the largest body of water within the fourth ring road of Beijing is the central lake in Chaoyang Park.
05/ Low-cost Netflix spot
Walking in from the south gate of Chaoyang Park, you can see a row of white European-style corridors and rainbow fountains, a spot that attracts a lot of Netflix people to come and take photos.
After all, the entrance fee is only 5 yuan, so you can just take pictures.
06/ "Doomsday Wind" playground
Chaoyang Park's playground is very special, a feeling that only those who have seen it with their own eyes will understand. There are jumping jacks and pirate ships in disrepair, as well as sculptures of wildly misbehaving dolls everywhere.
This double-decker merry-go-round is probably the most similar to what you'd find in an amusement park in Chaoyang Park. The lawn near the south gate is the most recommended, not only facing the center lake, but also with a nice view of the white European-style buildings. But some of them are a bit old and closed for the time being.
In addition, there are a number of theme parks, such as Lego Town, Sony Dreams, and the Parent-Child Zoo, which are great for kids.

Starting from 2014, the former Ditan Book Market was moved to Chaoyang Park and renamed Beijing Book Market. After the adjustment, the scale has also become larger, and will be held every year, the purpose is to let the books can "flow", so there are new books and old books, but the price is very discounted.
