10 . The Beijing Expo Park, where the International Horticultural Exhibition (国际园艺展) took place in 2019, has become a camping resort this summer. Twelve camping areas each named after the constellations (星座) have recently opened to the public at the park.
“When I see parents and children put down their mobile phones and enjoy their family time, I feel happy. At this moment, all our efforts in organizing this camping festival have paid off, ”said Xue He, a camping operator at the park.
“Located in the Yanqing district of Beijing, the camping area covers about 280, 000 square meters. It provides more than 1, 000 camping spots where tourists can spend their leisure time on picnics, fishing, horse riding, boating, and many other activities, ” said Han Weiwei, a manager of the Beijing Expo Park Investment and Development.
At the camping area named after Sagittarius, tents are spread throughout the woods, while a wooden trestle (支架) connects the campsites. “We pursue harmony between humans and nature, so the original plants were preserved as much as possible, ” said Liu Xiao’ou, an operator in the area.
“Horse riding is one of the most popular activities here, ”Liu said, adding that campers can ride horses in the Sagittarius area under the guidance of coaches. Children can also interact with some little cute horses which are less than one meter in height.
As the altitude in Yanqing is higher than that in downtown Beijing, the expo park is much cooler in summer. “This is favorable for camping. These abundant activities have given is so much fun, ” said a resident surnamed Yin from downtown Beijing.
