Summary
China does have a lot going on and with together working conditions in the cities, there has to be ways to release tension of the week, There are many places that chinese visit during weekends in particular, Museums, art studios, dancing, KTV, jazz bars and live bands, mountain climbing, hiking, beaches, cultural heritage spots, skating, rollerblading, sailing, boating to name a few, group activity is primary perhaps allowing more interaction and confidences, I was wondering how the Western world was dealing with this.
Has all access to facilities in your country still under restriction? Must be incredibly difficult to find activities in stadiums and larger arena’s
