Just another park in China 04.2009

Zhongshan is a place rich in parks. It is a place thriving with beautiful flowers and open spaces. This works well with its people who love outdoors and socializing. In designated public areas you will always see children playing, people exercising, or family and friends socializing.

I just love going and walking in parks to practice on my photography. This place is so rich with culture and moments. In this photo collection I also take several shots of the second pagoda I've seen.

Zimaling park, China 12.2008

We visited Zimaling park, an 88-plus hectare park located in Zhongshan, China. In the past, during the time of the Ching and Ming dynasties, this area was an entertainment place for rich people to ride horses.

There are lot of rides and places to visit but I am most fascinated with the pagoda on the hill...and of course, not to forget the flock of pigeons that constantly wait for free food. Unfortunately the day was quite foggy and hazy so I decided to take most of the pictures in Black and White.

Sun Yat Sen or Sun Wen Memorial park, 12.2008

This month I also visited a park here in Zhongshan, China. It's a park that commemorates their National Hero - Sun Yat Sen. Reminds me so much of Luneta park in Manila, Philippines.
