The weather was beautiful on Saturday, so we took a stroll through Green Lake Park. We were joined by a few other people:
Centuries ago, this park was actually a bay on the north end of Dianchi Lake:
But now, it is in the middle of a busy city.
The park is always full of dancers:
The colors and melodies of the minority groups are always entertaining. For a short video, click Dancing at Park
There are also musicians, some with a big audience and some just jamming for fun:

There’s always something unusual to see. People here tend to dress up their dogs when they take them for a walk, but this is the first time that I’ve ever seen a front dog-carrier:
It is interesting to see such a wide variety of people at the park:
And while we take a lot of pictures of other people, you can bet that there are plenty of local photographers who took pictures of the strange-looking foreigners…
Interesting pictures! I love the one with the seagulls and all of the paddle boats. It would have been cool to see pictures of what it looked like before all of the city/tourism.
Wow. WOWWWW. That dog bjorn. Wow. Have not seen that one here yet.
Looks like the weather is still beautiful! Our parks also look boring by comparison…
