During the upcoming eight-day holiday, 10 Beijing parks will celebrate with parties and decorations, allowing nearly everyone - residents and expats alike - a chance to participate in the National Day festivities.

Ten parks in Beijing will host parties from Oct 1 to 3 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of New China.

The 10 parks are located in the city's eight central districts to facilitate travelers to Beijing, according to the Beijing Park Management Office yesterday.
