This kind of fast feeling makes people shout: "exciting, fun!"
In yuyuantan park Sakura West Lake, the 15th Ice and Snow Season is being held. Citizen tourists, friends from three to five, or the whole family travel together, experience the flying saucer with speed and passion, take a cherry blossom-watching train "bound for spring" and feel a small snow tank "braving the wind and waves". Citizen tourists enjoy a happy time in the world of ice and snow.
"It’s great to experience the fun of skating in a classical garden like Beihai!" A tourist said happily. Beihai Park is rich in ice cultural activities this year. In order to better inherit the spirit of the Winter Olympics, carry forward the concept of the Winter Olympics and promote ice activities, the park specially hired Zhang Hao, the world champion of figure skating, as the promoter of ice cultural activities in Beihai Park. On New Year’s Day, the figure skating team he coached will bring a world-class figure skating performance at the Lotus Lake Ice rink in Beihai Park, so that citizens and tourists can feel the charm of skating.
The 10th Ice Fitness Activity of the Summer Palace attracted many citizens and tourists to the park. On the ice surface of Kunming Lake, the tracks of bicycles and ice carts on the ice are intertwined. A classmate from Sanya said, "The Summer Palace ice rink is really big. Many northerners go to Hainan for the winter. We use the New Year holiday to feel the happiness of ice and snow in the north, and the beautiful scenery of the garden photographed from the ice is even better. " Yesterday, it was Li Qian, a tourist, who took two children to the ice for the second time. "The ice experience is so good. Today, I specially invited my children’s classmates to watch the photo exhibition of Winter Olympics and experience the charm of ice and snow sports."
Taoranting Park Ice and Snow Carnival is full of tourists, and many families have come here to experience ice and snow amusement projects. Children, accompanied by their parents, experience amusement projects such as snow flying saucer and snow machinery park, and play in the ice maze. Big friends feel the joy of speed on the ice slide of the castle. "Come and see! The little penguin ran out! " The Penguin Parade in the Park attracted public tourists to watch. In the music, four Papua penguins ran out with little wings, followed by two king penguins, and the little penguin’s naive appearance made the tourists laugh endlessly.
It is understood that in addition to the ice and snow garden party, Beijing municipal parks and China Garden Museum will also hold a wealth of cultural activities and flower exhibitions, which will deeply integrate the four categories and 29 activities of "the beauty of gardens, the fragrance of flowers and plants, the spring of overture and the joy of ice and snow" with traditional festivals to create a happy, auspicious, warm and smooth holiday garden atmosphere to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
