8:00-20:00Xiuchi Lake was first built in 1940 with a water area of 34,000 square meters to store the circulating water tor iron-making at that time. It was the first large-scale water landscape at Shougang Park.
While preserving the original water landscape, the underground space of the industrial water cooling pool was repurposed into an underwater garage and an underwater exhibition hall. Xiuchi and No.3 blast furnace are connected by an underwater corridor.
Since 2005, Shougang Group had started its steel business relocation and stopped all steel-related operations in the capital by the end of 2010. Today, Shougang Park has successfully transformed from a country-famous steel mill to a modern comprehensive zone housing technology, culture, commerce and sports industries, setting an example of urban renewal for the rest of the world.
Love Reading Art Bookstore (Shougang Park) is built inside the Shougang No.3 Blast Furnace Museum, and it is a trendy, cool, high-tech, fashionable and artsy cultural mecca for young people. The bookstore manages to keep the original facilities as much as possible.
With the original name of Jiaohua Canteen, Shougang Canteen was one of the most representative dining hall during the steel production period. Nowadays, the canteen, which conveys the old generations’ memory, has turned into a leisure spot serving western cuisine and BBQ.
Beside Xiuchi Lake is Shougang No.3 Blast Furnace Museum. It is one of the coolest event venues in the capital city and has staged such major cultural events as the Beijing New Year Celebration, the International Illustration Exhibition, the Opening Show of Beijing International Fashion Week, and the China Science Fiction Convention.
