Beijing Shijingshan Amusement Park is welcoming visitors with its Rain Room, which proves to be popular among kids and adults alike.

The rain in the Rain Room is different from the rain falling from the sky. It is intelligently designed to avoid falling on people.

Developed by Ramdom International, the Rain Room made its first presence in London in 2012, and exhibited at New York's Museum of Modern Artand in 2013.

The idea of the Rain Room evolved from the idea of offering a contemplative and creative space where children could explore and play as they might on a rainy day at home.
