  An old man on 外滩Waitan (the Bund) looking toward the Pudong skyline under the noon sunlight. The Bund is extremely popular with tourists and natives. No doubt because you can see the old and new from both sides of the 黄浦江Huangpu Jiang (Huangpu River); the activities going on the river; the established commercial setups in the area; the music, dances and shows that are common here; and of course one another for company.

  An old woman practicing 太极拳Taijiquan in a quiet section of a park. Chinese people like to stretch and move freely within a comfortable circle. In this way one becomes more reflective, meditative and associative. So, you will not find them jogging very often. Exercise is a big thing in China. Do not be surprise to see exercise machines on the side walks. They are a common sight and a gathering ground for people.
