We all love to spend some quality time with friends and family in parks. I know that I used to love playing on the playgrounds and swinging on the swing sets. However, public parks in America have some differences from public parks in China.
1. Size
Chinese public parks are usually large and lively for a few reasons. Since China is a highly populated country, many people don’t have private gardens or parks. They usually go to the park because it is like their “garden,” as well as because there are many activities.
2. Senior citizens
This may be stereotypical, but many Americans think of the elderly as people who like watching TV, playing bingo, and taking nice strolls. This is not as true in China. There are so many activities that mostly attract senior citizens in China, partially because they have so much free time. Some examples of these activities are ping pong, tai chi, exercise dance, and traditional fan dances.
3. Exercise
Many Chinese citizens get their exercise in free public parks, where, at the same time, they can enjoy nature and leisure. In America, many people have gym memberships that can not only be expensive, but are often times unused.
Wow this was a very interesting article. It’s cool to see how there are many activities for older people in the park. In America, there is not much for the elderly to do. The parks are large and very populated too. It was cool to see how similar, yet different the parks are.
Wow this was a very interesting article. It was nice to see that the parks in China have activities for older people, while in America, there aren’t much things for the elderly people to do. The parks in America are large and populated too. It was cool to read about the similarities and differences between the parks in America and China.
This was really interesting! I didn’t know that China had large parks with ping pong tables. America should have parks like that!
Great article! I never knew that so many people did these activities in parks in China. Thank you for sharing!
Wow, Jennifer, great work! I had no idea that Chinese parks had so many activities for seniors such as ping pong, tai chi, exercise dance, and traditional fan dances. Maybe more Americans should spend time at the park to get exercise and not at a costly gym. Keep up the good work!
This was really interesting, especially the amount of senior people in Chinese parks and American parks . They really differ a lot
Great article! I had no idea of the difference between the parks in America and the parks in China. I think we should have the activities that the parks in China have. I think it will make people more active and want to go out more.
