With most travel restrictions still in place, those lazy summer days
spent on the beach of some tropical island are still out of reach. But
hey, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t dig your bikini out of winter
storage. Chaoyang Park is full of activities for the whole family, and recently they’ve given their “beach” a facelift.
While going there is not going to the same as laying out on the
white-sand beaches of Boracay in the Philippines, it’s as close to an
island vacation as we can get without leaving Beijing at the moment.

Approximately 300 meters from the East gate of Chaoyang Park, the
park’s sandy beach has just been given a fresh coat of sand and a
thorough scrub down to be pristine clean for the summer. And while you
can’t swim yet, you’re more than welcome to slip on a bikini for some
laid back tanning, picnicking, beach volleyball, and making good old
fashioned sandcastles with the family.
The sandy beach is open daily from 9am to 5pm. All-day entrance costs
RMB 30 per person. Kids 1.2 meters and below enter for free but must be
accompanied by an adult.
