Beijing is filled with beautiful parks. Because most people in Beijing live in small apartments, the park becomes a neighborhood gathering spot. Citizens in Beijing come to the park to visit, exercise, entertain themselves, and spend time with their families. Parks have three kinds of spaces: small square spaces bounded by benches for visiting, long covered pavilions, and open green spaces. The Chinese have very beautiful gardens, and all of the parks are filled with flowers, bushes, and trees.
My hotel is located just two blocks from the Houhai Park--a beautiful park surrounding a lake. Here is what I saw at the park:
people practicing Tai Chi
a chorus practicing a song
people playing checkers, cards, and chess
a man walking his pet bird
people flying kites
people drinking tea
a man entertaining a group with kareoke
people playing paddle ball and hakkesak
families visiting
a group of musicians playing stringed instruments

Dear Mrs. Riddle,
Your blog, your photos, and the Chinese landscape are all so beautiful. I hope someday I get to see you. Did Mr. Riddle tell you i saw him at Publix? Well I did, but I was in a rush because my mother's childhood friend from Buffalo, NY came for a surprise 40th B-Day weekend! We all had loads of fun. Anyway Look forward to seeing you soon, so tell all my friends at Samsula I said hi, and give Mrs. Blankenship a big hug! :)
Note: I'm sorry, I never intended to tame up this much room on
