The Dangkou Cool Festival began on July 21 and will last until Sept 1. It will feature various events for visitors to escape the summer heat in Dangkou ancient town, Wuxi's Xishan district.
Visitors can take a stroll down the ice-cool block which starts just east of Guandi Temple and ends west of Laoyi village. Cool misty air is blown onto visitors, offering a bit of respite from the overbearing heat.
