Zhou Yuhang, six, can escape the soaring temperatures in east China's Zhejiang province even while on the move, after his father converted a van into a mobile paddling pool.

A six-year-old's resourceful father removed the seats from the back of the van and lined it with plastic before filling the back of the vehicle up with water, creating a private 'pool' for his son to splash around in any time he fancies a dip.

Zhou Yuhang, who lives in Wenzhou city in east China, has no need to contend with the crowds flocking to public swimming pools after his father converted a mobile paddling pool for him.

A heatwave in China's Zhejiang province has seen temperatures reach a scorching 38C, and it seems one family has found a novel way of keeping cool in the relentless heat.
