People from southern China's Chongqing enjoyed eating giant ice lollies while relaxing in buckets full of ice to stay cool during a heatwave on August 13.

The video shows people sitting in ice buckets in a pool to playing mahjong while licking the ice lollies that weigh around 5kg.

The giant ice treat has four different flavours, grapes, lychee, watermelon and apple.

According to reports, the temperature was almost 40C on that day so a water park in Fuling district offered ice buckets and giant ice lollies to visitors.

受连日高温影响，2019年8月13日，重庆涪陵区气象台再次发布高温橙色预警信号，消息称沿江部分地方将高达40度以上。为了缓解高温，当地市民在红酒小镇水公园内，座在冰桶里面，一边打麻将，一边吃着重达十余斤的超大冰棍消暑纳凉。据了解，这些超大冰棍是用可乐、雪碧、鲜橙多等饮料加工而成，由于常规冰棒在室外高温下会很快融化，为了满足市民在水中打麻将解渴的需求，所以景区才专门为大家做出了超大冰棍。
