As previously mentioned, on Sunday afternoons, we try to take a break from our busy lives and walk around town, visit a park, or climb a mountain. Even though we’ve been living in China for five years, we still enjoy seeing local sights. We often walk by ornately decorated doors:
A fish restaurant recently opened on a small island in the nearby temple pond, allowing fishermen to catch their own dinner:
As we climb the mountain, there is a smaller temple nestled in the trees:
On the valley across the road, an old farmer has carved some farm plots out of the hillside:
We finally reached the park at the top of the mountain and appreciated the fact that they had clearly spelled out the rules in Chinese and in English:
The Chinese excel at gardening. This park is full of flowering trees and azaleas:
We enjoy watching people and their dogs, especially this little guy with shoes on:
They recently built a mountain bike race course at this park. Someday, I’ll have to fix the flat on my bike and give it a try:
Speaking of signs, I felt obligated to comply with the Chinglish on this one:
On the way back down the mountain, we discovered that snakes in China can get very large:
Just a few more steps and we emerge onto the street near our apartments, refreshed and ready for another week of city life!
