Built for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, this massive 680-hectare park north of the Bird's Nest is one of the city's best jogging and cycling destinations, with a large artificial lake, wetlands, and a gentle hill offering skyline views. The 5km and 10km running loops are genuinely well-maintained and popular with serious local runners at dawn. The southern section near the Olympic venues is busier; head north for tranquility and birdwatching. Getting here requires a subway ride to the northern end of Line 8, but it's straightforward.
