Consider it a harbinger of a better year to come – an abandoned amusement park, famous among urbanophiles in recent years for its dystopian aura but still well remembered by old-time Beijingers, will be made new again and opened to the public this summer,
Tucked just inside the southeast corner of the Second Ring Road, Longtan Central Lake Park sits between the West and East Lakes encompassing a winding lake, in which two large islands sit. The larger island became home to Beijing Amusement Park in 1984, and its crowning jewel, the large Ferris wheel, stood 60 meters high.
