2nd China Play Festival: A Trendy Innovation Party on Qiandao Lake

On May 30, 2025, the 2nd China Play Festival returns, rooted in “trendy fun” and inspired by Qiandao Lake’s unique “water island ecology.” This annual global outdoor community event debuts with an even more international lineup and immersive experiences, setting new records for summer visitors at Qiandao Lake.

Beyond the upgraded water activities—including thrilling single-pole flag capture and refreshing water gun battles—MRS, as the “core engine of water entertainment,” proudly launches the packraft “Duck Hunt” competition. Hundreds of adorable yellow ducklings scatter across the water, inviting players to become “lake hunters” in a hands-on chase filled with splashes and excitement.

 Whether sprinting into the clear waves or hearing children’s delighted cheers, Qiandao Lake transforms into a joyful, borderless playground.

Inaugural Maze Treasure Hunt Dragon Boat Race: A Wild Adventure for Families

As the Play Festival’s heatwaves sweep across the lake, the first-ever Maze Treasure Hunt Dragon Boat Race, hosted by SLACLUB Paddle Club with strategic support from MRS packraft, takes center stage. This innovative event blends the spirit of the Dragon Boat Festival with Children’s Day family interaction through a thrilling 6-kilometer water adventure route.

Led by MRS Paddle Academy’s ACA-certified female coaches, supported by lifeguards and documentary photographers, the family teams experience safety and ceremonial grandeur throughout. The race features three immersive stages:
