CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- It’s hot! In Chongqing, it has been hot weather recently, so streets are all swept by heat waves. At 15:00 on July 12th, the temperature in most areas of Chongqing exceeded 37℃, and that in Jiangjin, Bishan and Beibei exceeded 40℃. The highest temperature in Shapingba, one of the downtown areas of Chongqing, also reached 39.5℃. In such a hot summer, people go on holiday to run away from the heat.

Meixin Red Wine Town Water Park has launched many events, including kissing ice while sitting on icy buckets and playing Mahjong while sitting on icy chairs. People can not only paddle in the water to cool off, but can also play mahjong for free on tailor-made icy chairs.

“Chairs and mahjong are both made by ice. It’s amazing.” One tourist exclaimed after doing it. It was so icy and cool that he wanted to stay longer.

In Fenghuangwan Swim Club, children swam breaststroke and freestyle with the guidance of parents and coaches, enjoying the coolness in the swimming pool.

Expect water parks and indoor swimming pools, the subway station is a perfect place for people to cool off.

In the subway stations, elderly people sat in a row and chat with each other with a cup of tea in their hands. They might be thinking that they didn’t have to pay the electricity bills this month when they were enjoying the free AC.

On the Three Gorges Square in Shapingba District, there was a crowd of kids taking out their hydraulic guns. With the company of their parents, they started a “war” and shuttled among the “bullets”, having great fun.

Moreover, on the fountain plaza next to Nanbin Road, as the fountain sprouted out, kids jumped and sported, enjoying the coolness given by the waters. “It cools him down and it’s fun. So I take my grandson here.” Mr. Wang said.

In such a burning summer, do you ever feel a sense of coolness while reading this passage? And what’s your plan for a summer holiday? (Translated by Huang Ziming, Fathom Language Limited)
