People’s Park round I and Lisa’s sore feet

We went to People’s Park yesterday which is off of People’s Square. People’s Square is huge.  I think the park is huge but we did not see much since we found the kid’s amusement park and spent the day there. Ben did bumper cars, a small roller coaster, and then we fished for large goldfish in a shallow child’s pond. It was really hot, then it rained fairly hard and we let ourselves get wet just to cool off, then it stopped. We were there 3 1/2 hours.

People’s Park is beautiful. Only saw a bit of it before we veered off into the kid’s amusement park
Paul and Ben did the bumper cars at least 3 times

 

Ben was going to do this boat ride where you shoot the shark with water, but it broke down, then it started pouring down rain. We stayed anyway. It was better than the heat.
Kids use poles and hooks to catch goldfish, then take home all they catch in a small plastic tank. As the day went on, this place was packed.

 

 

This was actually fun. I made Ben put his fish back when we were done. We all fished and caught some. Poor fish! Feral cats are hanging out in the bushes hoping for a fish.
Just outside People’s Park is this bustling street. Lots of restaurants and some Chinese bakeries and other businesses
Our family catch
Unusual, cool looking building

We ate at McDonald’s since it was all we saw nearby, before we ran into this street. But my feet were already hurting so we headed home after walking down this street for a few minutes. My feet hurt every day. Paul says it is probably because everywhere here is flat and hard. Either cement or mall walking in the subway. And we walk every day. I need to find a foot massage place I like or I will not be able to see and enjoy China for the next 5 weeks.
