Beijing Weekend One-Stop Child Fun—Dahu Park
Dahu Park is located in the core area of Peacock City in the North Development Zone of Gu'an, by the Yongding River. It is the largest artificial lake in Gu'an and is known as the 'Eye of Gu'an'.
The park's trail is a lakeside jogging path, 2 kilometers long, with willows and flowers planted along the way. A morning stroll here offers a fragrance of flowers and plants every ten steps, with fish swimming between water and shadows, migratory birds resting occasionally, and the breeze rustling through the reeds. With its scenic courtyard architecture and neighborhood streets, it is an excellent place for jogging, cycling, lake viewing, and brisk walking.
Along the green spaces by the lakeside trail and near the restaurants, people set up tents or lay out picnic mats.
The park offers rowboats, kayaks, pedal boats, and floating tube boats. There are turtles, swans, ducks, mandarin ducks, and flocks of pigeons that are super cute. Remember to bring some small bread or steamed buns to feed them nearby.
There are many restaurants around the lake, including hot pot, Japanese barbecue, home cooking, dessert shops, cafes, ice cream, small bars, and more. There are also outdoor dining spots by the lake and popular bubble houses.
The park's attractions include Swan Lake, Hobbit Garden Maze, Xinhua Bookstore, Super Theater Light Show, Children's Playground, and more. There's also the popular voice-controlled shouting fountain, next to a free children's playground with various non-powered facilities perfect for child fun, where you can enjoy unrestricted parent-child time.
