Parks

The parks in China are the most used of any I have seen in the world. I don't think that it is just because they have beautiful gardens. A few apartment blocks have beautiful gardens and certainly we do in the school campus, but I think the Chinese just enjoy strolling through the parks, enjoying the scenery, flying their kites, meeting their friends and family and getting some exercise.

Most Chinese couldn't afford a gym membership and I find it absolutely amazing that the parks are set up with gym equipment. And they get used.

It is such a beautiful sight to see people of all ages using the wonderful parks they have. Have we got it all wrong in the developed world?
