Or if you hate sports and just want to get dizzy without making the trek out to Happy Valley, then just visit the amusement park right there in the park. The rides are less than cutting edge, and the whole environment's a bit on the tacky side, but there's certainly enough to keep children entertained for an afternoon.

If actual nature's what you're after, up in the northern end of the park you can find the hills that have escaped the landscapers, filled with native species and weeds that go about their business there. You can almost imagine wild game padding along the dirt pathways that cut through the trees.

Just moments away from the bustling urban hotspot of Sanlitun, Chaoyang Park is the obvious place for trendies to take a break from the world of consumerism. Despite inelegant random sights like Roman columns and arches or the Sony Explorascience, there are far more scenes of beauty. Almost 300 hectares of water and greenery guarantees it.
