One of our new Sunday activities over the last month has been going to Ritan Park, "Temple of the Sun". The park originally was a 16th century altar site where the emperor made sacrificial offerings to the sun god. It is located by the south embassy area.
We ride our bikes down to have breakfast at Grandma's Kitchen (not quite Hank's Place but still a good American breakfast). We then head over to Ritan for a nice walk and to see everything Chinese. 
This park is really popular and has a little bit of everything for everyone. There are the badminton players, table tennis players, card players, the musicians (vocal and instrumental), the gymnast on the parallel bars / high bar, the dancers, exercisers, martial art practitioners, hacky sack players, fishermen (including gold fishing!!), children amusement park, rock climbers, miniature golfers, the bird men with their twin cages of various song birds, story tellers, parents and children just playing, walkers, joggers, but no dog walking.
