Tiantan park is probably the strangest and coolest place I'd ever been to. It's full of recently retired people who want to act out their creative fantasies. You'll find group performances such as singing, sword fighting, massages, salsa dancing, ballroom dancing, harmonica playing and erhu playing. You'll also find individual singers who are looking to make it big because some alumni have been discovered this way.
It's an interesting sight because Chinese citizens have these repressed hobbies that they weren't able to pursue when they were working. And now since they must retire at 50, it's a great opportunity for them to just do whatever they feel like doing, even if they act like fools. Yay!
