Water, Earth, Wind and Fire

Many philosophies have used set of classical elements, as the elements the universe is built and made of: Water, Earth, Wind or Air and Fire
for all Iranian Fire is a holy element, while the other are so important for life as well. we have a ceremony called Charshanbeh Souri, which happens annually in the last Wednesday of our calender year (beginning of April)
Buddhism, Zoroastrian, Hinduism and Chinese have many quotes on these element.
below pictures are from a park in north of Tehran, called Water and Fire Park. it's a unique park in Iran, nice design and beautiful location. it can be named one of Tehran's potentials to be visited with tourists and travelers. take a look:

There are facilities like parking area, buffet, children playground, horse riding field etc.

Iran Water Dance - Tehran, Azadegan Aqua Park

I, by myself, never forget the water kind entertainments I experience in different tourism destinations. For example Wild Wadi water park and Dream land in Dubai, Afa Mousa in Kuala Lampour and the water dance in Singapore - Sentosa Island.
In Tehran we definitely see the lack of such entertainment facilities, but sometimes we have more problems in introducing and advertising these places. one of these places which has stuck unknown, even for most of Tehran citizens is Azadegan Water Park, in the south of Tehran, Afsarieh region, near Basij Expressway. Tehran Municipality owns the 12 acre Aqua Park of Azadegan and has established this park around a decade ago, but there are still many people who don't know about it. Azadegan Aqua park, hosts an average of 15,000 people per month, but it was estimated before that more than 1.5 million people from Tehran would use the park’s entertainment, cultural and sports facilities every year, which should caused more visits during the same time. The park admits women also in a separated schedule from men every week.
near the Aqua park there is a water dance show there are few pictures from the water dance which I've saved before, from Mehr News Agency website:
