Beijing's rivers and lakes are drawing crowds seeking relief from the summer heat with various water activities and extended business hours.

The Liangma River, a key section of Beijing's Grand Canal cultural belt, connects the embassy district, international business zone and waterfront living spaces.

In summertime, the river offers paddleboarding, kayaking, and swimming along a roughly one-kilometer stretch where hundreds of visitors take to the water daily to catch the evening breeze and sunset.

"I think it's great — you don't need to travel far to experience nature. It's right here in the city, not far from home. It feels really nice," a visitor said.

Meanwhile, several city parks have extended boat operating hours until 19:00 or 20:00 to let visitors catch the summer twilight.

At the Summer Palace, daily boat ridership has peaked at 30,000 this summer, with the extended hours allowing more visitors to catch the "golden hour" around sunset.

"We saw a lot of people taking boats over there, so we came to ask, and they said we could just make it," said tourist Wang Wanqiu.
