Temple of Heaven Dancers

It seems that organised activities are big in China and in parks everywhere retirees get together to dance, play instruments, practice Tai Chi and throw hoops around their necks (yes I saw this being done). The Temple of Heaven in Beijing is the big Kahuna of these gatherings and in every corner of the extensive grounds you can find people practicing their chosen art with intense expressions of concentration, despite the imposing signs detailing what can and can't be done on the grounds.


Waltzing, tangoing and other ballroom dances I couldn't name are popular pursuits...



Unlike the other dancers, this guy didn't have a partner.
Not that he needed one...
