After my dance performance I had a couple of days resting, chilling and recharging my batteries in the area around the apartment. There is a lovely park where I had a little run, read my book, listened to people singing and playing their instruments. The Chinese seem to be very concerned with health and well being.
There are outdoor gyms in lots of different places. This is me on the bike, but I passed some hutong areas with built up housing and no parks, but there was still an outdoor gym facility for people to use. Yes there were little old ladies, probably at least as old as 70, who were on the machines.

It's really unusual, there is no running water in these houses and only community toilets. I think keeping fit is probably as high up on the list of priorities as toilets are.
