When business or leisure calls you to Beijing, make sure you make some time to visit Chaoyang Park (Sun Park), which opens up a stunning 289 acres for some ample relaxation time for the entire family. It is the perfect complement to a stay at one of the many fine serviced apartments Beijing has to offer its visitors, such as the Somerset Grand Fortune Garden Beijing which presents a quality option for a luxury apartment in Beijing. Take a break from the city’s shopping and entertainment venues with a sojourn into serenity at the Chaoyang Park, which features more than 20 panoramic areas for viewing pleasure, so remember to bring your camera to capture these exquisite nature scenes for posterity. The Ecological Valley is situated in the northern corner of the park, boasting a tranquil water area and a large expanse of green. Binshui Island, which rises majestically from the calm waters of Lotus Lake is a haven for wild ducks and offers some prime areas to bring you closer to nature in the form of wood platforms, pavilions and meadows. Situated near the west gate is the intriguing Art Square, which features a beautiful array of sculptures capturing the majestic landscapes of Vienna. For some fun in the beach and surf, head over to Bathing Beach, which attracts almost 3,000 visitors daily and it also hosted the beach volleyball games during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. And if you really crave some retail therapy in the midst of the serenity, venture down to the Blue Harbor, which combines shopping, recreation, entertainment and conference exhibitions under a unique experiential space.
