Honglingjin Park loop（紅領巾公園）

This is an easy, paved loop all the way around the lake in Honglingjin park. The loop is the same regardless of which entrance you use. There are some bridges across the lake that can cut the loop shorter if you want. This park is much less crowded and far quieter than nearby Chaoyang park. Has no cars or pedal cars, so it’s also safer for taking little kids. This park has no entrance fee. Some nice views of CBD to the southwest, though a bit far off. Often you’ll see folks here with tripods and telephoto lenses getting shots of the skyscrapers in the setting sun. In warm weather you can rent boats, and there is a big playground for little kids by the east gate (appropriate for ages 2-10, ticket purchase required).
