Beihai Park

I remember with a lot of fondness the afternoon of April 2009, when I arrived to the park believing I was seeing another corner of the Chinese capital. During that tour, in the hummed and hot Pekin afternoon, I looked around me and saw elders playing chess, children bathing in the lake and a man playing a beautiful instrument, which I later discovered was called "erhu" (violin of two strings). I breathed-in deeply, and felt a moment of happiness ... I will never forget that place becoming the most beautiful corner of Beijing for me.
