Line dancing in Temple of Heaven, originally uploaded by Helen K.

We visited the Temple of Heaven, and the park was filled with 1000’s of people – and these weren’t the ones visiting the culturally significant site!

Parks in China are used for many things, singing, exercising, ribbon twirling, band practice, and line dancing. The number of people participating in a wide range of uncoordinated, and unadvertised events was truly amazing. People here are organised… and they don’t appear to need much assistance from anyone!
