It’s a very comfortable park. Although it is located in the city, the environment of this park is very fresh and natural. At night, with the embellishment of the city’s night view, it looks very beautiful. I like it very much.

Located in the heart of downtown Denver, this is a very beautiful building. I feel like it looks a bit like the Little White House. It is even brighter inside when the lights are on at night. There is also convenient transportation around it.

This park is actually very simple, with a large expanse of water surrounded by green space and trees. In summer, you can go boating (please bring valid ID to prove your age, and you will also need to sign some documents...), especially the simple rowing boats, which are not seen in all parks in Beijing. They are fast and fun to row. In winter, you can see flocks of wild geese walking around on the ice and the shore, and many fat squirrels will actively approach people to see if they can get some food.
