Happy Magic Water Cube, China
From series “The Greatest and Fanciest Water Parks”Year: 2008.
In Beijing, you can visit one of the most amazing and colorful water parks with the unusual name Happy Magic Water Cube. It is set in the unusual building, the walls of which simulate a smooth surface coated with water droplets. This original structure was built in 2008 specifically for the opening of the Olympic Games. Then, it housed the Olympic swimming pool; the building was used for swimming competitions. After the event, facilities were converted into the water park that is famous throughout the world for its futuristic design and numerous rides.
It is important to note that the building of the aquapark is a true marvel of the modern engineering. It can collect rainwater, cool, and heat itself. The place is equipped with special security features for flood and fire. Once inside the water park for the first time, many of the guests spend a few hours to explore its incredible design, and only then go to their favorite rides. A huge jellyfish on the ceiling, a giant drop of water, and the surface with ice crystals are incredible decorations complemented by the spectacular artistic illumination.
