Summer Vacation with Kids｜A High-Beauty Water World Hidden in the Hotel
Honestly, I never expected the water world hidden in the hotel to be this beautiful❗️
Spent another weekend at a hotel with the kids!
The famous parent-child hotel in West Beijing, Wukuang Junlan, has surprisingly opened a new pink💓 super high-beauty water world!
It's on the 2️⃣nd floor of the hotel🏨 guest room area seven, follow the signs, it's a bit hard to find.
🦄Unicorn Water Slide
💗Pink Swimming Pool
🫧Ocean Ball Bubble Pool
Although the place is not big, it has everything you need!
There are staff members spraying water💦 on the water slide, making it very smooth.
My daughter played on it more than 50 times and never got tired of it! She kept saying it was so much fun!
The swimming pool is about one meter deep, with a temperature🌡️ of around 28 degrees, which is on the cooler side.
There are lifeguards at both ends, which is quite reassuring.
Because of the low water temperature, there weren't many kids swimming🏊♀️ inside, most of them were playing with bubbles and ocean balls in the small pool or on the big slide.
🎫Tickets: Some accommodation packages include it, if not, it's 💰98 for one adult and one child! Quite a bargain～
🈺Opening Hours: Two sessions a day
🌞Morning session 9:00-12:00 🌛Afternoon session: 16:00-21:00
🔆No place to shower, hotel guests should bring a big bath towel for the kids, wrap them up in the towel after playing and go back to the room to shower🛁
