Happy Magic Water Cube, China
From series “The Greatest and Fanciest Water Parks”
In Beijing, you can visit one of the most amazing and colorful water parks with the unusual name Happy Magic Water Cube. It is set in the unusual building, the walls of which simulate a smooth surface coated with water droplets. This original structure was built in 2008 specifically for the opening of the Olympic Games. Then, it housed the Olympic swimming pool; the building was used for swimming competitions. After the event, facilities were converted into the water park that is famous throughout the world for its futuristic design and numerous rides.
It is important to note that the building of the aquapark is a true marvel of the modern engineering. It can collect rainwater, cool, and heat itself. The place is equipped with special security features for flood and fire. Once inside the water park for the first time, many of the guests spend a few hours to explore its incredible design, and only then go to their favorite rides. A huge jellyfish on the ceiling, a giant drop of water, and the surface with ice crystals are incredible decorations complemented by the spectacular artistic illumination.

Top destination around Happy Magic Water Cube - Beijing
Do you want to explore the heart of “old Beijing” away from numerous tourist groups? If so, make a walk to Hutong Houhai as this district is known as one of the oldest and most authentic places in the city. Just like hundreds of years ago, locals live in small one-storey houses with charming inner yards. However, rickshaws are already common in this secluded area and they actively promote their services. Travellers, who want to observe all hidden parts of the district and make numerous interesting and memorable photos, are recommended to make a foot walk.
