I Have Often Seen Advertisements For Riverside Restaurants,

I guess you like me think of sitting by a slow moving river or stream,

but in Chongqing’s River Café in southern China you actually sit in the river! with summer temperatures reaching over 40 degrees Celsius, the Chinese are always looking for new and enjoyable ways to cool off, the River Café, in Chongqing, is inviting locals and tourists to take off their shoes and grab a seat in the waters of a cooling stream, since it’s too hot to serve their delicious food inside or in the sun, the managers of this popular venue have decided to set up most of the tables straight on the water, under the shade of trees, the pop-up restaurant now has more tables in the stream than it has on land, which can seat up to 300 people at a time,

to give you an idea of how hot it can be in some parts of China, Inspired by the real Dead Sea in the Middle East, a Chinese resort built an underground salt-water lake in Daying County, the resort covers an area of 30,000 square meters and is able to accommodate up to 10,000 swimmers at one time, it’s pretty big even for Chinese standards, but apparently not big enough, according to the Chinese press one day recently saw up to 15,000 people in the pool.
