Why Beijing locals swim in the city canals

Today I finally tried something I’ve been wanting to do for ages… swimming in Beijing’s Liangma River! 🏊‍♂️ What started as a simple dip turned into an unexpectedly amazing experience. I met local Beijingers who swim here every day, joined a super friendly older swimmer who showed me the ropes, and ended up having some great conversations (given my limited Chinese language skills) haha 😂 If you enjoyed this adventure, don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more moments from around China! 🇨🇳 #china #beijing #travel #adventure
