We rode our bikes to Qujiang Park on the opposite side of town from our apartment. The park has this large hot air balloon ride, but we avoided the temptation to get a better view. After all it was smoggy.
The park surrounds a large lake. No stone throwing or swimming is allowed. There is a wide path around the lake, but we needed to rent bicycles to ride it. Our bikes were not allowed. We were stopped by a friendly by insistent teenager in uniform who asked us to park our bikes in the bike lot.
Just south of the park is a wonderful mall (in the sense of the Washington DC mall) dedicated to the Tang dynasty, China's most powerful and prosperous. These flowers were stunning.
