As a late birthday outing, me and Siqi headed to the theme park last Friday (欢乐谷) which is on the east side of Beijing for a day of fun. As it was a Friday there weren’t too many people about so we never had to queue more than 10 minutes for any of the rides - even the most popular ones. We scared ourselves silly on some of the big roller coasters in the morning. Most notable was the logboat ride which is the biggest I have ever been on and is guaranteed to get you drenched. It was amazing to plummet into the splash pool at the bottom and have a 15ft wall of water rise around you on all sides. Unfortunately, in the afternoon we made the mistake of going on the massive swinging and spinning pendulum ride and our stomachs were not too comfortable after that. After a 30 minute sit-down to get rid of the dizziness, we went to see some of the shows that were on offer then later got the bus back home. Here are some photos:
