Haidian Park was chosen by them. Why was Haidian Park chosen? It is because the park covers about 34 hectares（公顷）near the 4th Ring Road. And it received about 1.2 million tourists last year. It took the workers 10 months to change Haidian Park into an artificial intelligence（AI）（人工智能）theme park. Haidian Park lies in northern Beijing. So Haidian Park became Chinas first artificial intelligence theme park. It was opened to the public in early November. Now the park has driverless buses, smart lamp posts（灯柱）and smart speakers. The buses themselves can run according to the directions from a computer. The smart lamp posts can record a lot of data quickly and well. The smart speakers can understand human instructions correctly. The park gives people a totally new look. People can experience different artificial intelligence here. Che Jianguo said that a total of 10 government departments and companies took part in the rebuilding of the park over the past 10 months. He comes from the park office and he is in charge of the program. In recent years, Chinese high-tech companies begin to do some things in the artificial intelligence industry. The central government also said in October that it would help the development of the countrys new generation of artificial intelligence.26 .

Then I went to run with my father. I think we need to exercise every day. After all, its important to keep healthy. After running, I took a shower and had breakfast. At nine oclock, I went to the aquarium with my friends. We saw some sharks and seals there. Sharks are very scary but the seals are cute. We also saw a dolphin show.
