Street life: Beijing




Pretty much anywhere in the world, people in Beijing thrive the streets and the parks either to make ends meet or just for recreation.

Some play Chinese musical instruments where there are tourists. Many can be found outside the walls of the Forbidden City.




 Some sing.



Siesta time.



 A walk through the park.



All smiles. The colorful dresses make these two ladies stand out among the crowd. 



There is nothing like relaxing under the sun in a beautiful day doing the things you love with friends. 

 


Why so serious?!



 "I am the sword master".






The park surrounding the Temple of Heaven is where most older people gather to spend time with friends. They play musical instruments, dance, sing, and do some physical activities.



It is relaxing to watch and listen to them do their stuff. Although I do not understand a thing about the songs they sing.



The happy faces. They can be contagious.



 Even the little ones came to have fun under the sun.



 Gambling can indeed turn into an addiction. See how desperate this man is?



Done with the sights and people. Next post - FOOD! =)
