Tuanjiehu Water Park (团结湖游泳池) is conveniently located in the middle of Tuanjiehu Park (团结湖公园), a short walk from Sanlitun.

The Indispensable Immersion Guides

Beijing by Foot
This collection of 40 walks around Beijing will take you through hutongs and high-rises, into the history and stories that still reside amidst the cement and construction. Beijing by Foot has mapped the city like never before. We've walked every hutong and every street, in search of the forgotten gems and hidden details. And now the result is here, presented on stylish, easy-to-carry cards, each of which features a walk on one side and a map on the other, marked with sites of interest and a route, as well as the city’s best restaurants, bars and shops. Readers can also get taste of what to expect over at the Beijing by Foot blog, which features, among other things, photos and reflections on the author's adventures exploring the web of bomb-shelter tunnels 30 meters under Nanluogu Xiang. For more information click here.
