FLOATING DRAGON LAKE AMUSEMENT PARK – BEIJING – GRADE B+

Classical Luminesence Deep Blue FerrisPlanetarium vs. Ferris Wheel

Beijing Amusement Park based around the Floating Dragon Lake used to be the premier theme park in Beijing attracting 2.4 million visitors a year. It was famous for its roller coasters, 4D cinema, and the biggest Ferris Wheel in the capital. Now all that remains is the Ferris Wheel which dominates the landscape, and the ruined remains of the aquarium. The site is sealed off from the public, but a quick hop leap and jump make it pretty easy to enter.

The site is connected by a series of bridges between each of the islands, and while most of them are padlocked, you can just jump into the dried out lake bed and run to the islands. The aquarium and the horror house are easy to get into, but not much remains, but the Ferris Wheel is safely contained behind a metal fence. It slowly turns creaking in the wind. Even at night this is an easy exploration which makes it an easy B+.
