Jingshan Park which is located just north of the Forbidden city, is an especially a popular place for elderly people to gather together and socialize. On the weekends, one can often find elderly folks dancing, singing opera and doing other cultural activities.





Lets just say we were fascinated and maybe a little overwhelmed by the cacophony of the park. We witnessed ballroom dancing, singing groups, accordion playing Bollywood dancers and even watched a choir practice. I had never seen anything quite like it. There were literally hundreds of people singing and dancing in different groups, each trying to out do the other groups.

Yes I could not resist forcing Kingsley to dress up in the traditional bride and groom Chinese costumes.  I love how Kingsley is wearing the pearls and I'm wearing a tie!
