They keep their cars separate from their scooters and all separate from the pedestrians. Smart.

All separate again - three clearly defined "lanes" - cars, scooters, walkers

Not too many strays - rare to see one on the street

This was like a combo between Hacky sack and badminton shuttle cock.

My first Mcd's in like 4 years - was kind of disappointing actually. Will probably be another 4

Some of the crowd waiting to see the fountain show

No idea what this is - but thought it was really pretty

Ever present Starbucks - but at least they "blend"

Kids playing jump rope in the square - no adults around.

Wandering Xi’An

October 29 in China ☀️ 66 °F

I had nothing planned for today special, so just wandered the city seeing whatever I came across. I’m definitely getting much stronger cause I can walk 20k steps, do 10-11 miles and not really feel it much, as long as it’s fairly flat. I think my good shoes help a lot tho to be honest (Merrill Speed 2 Hiking shoes).

I found a beautiful park where people were dancing, hanging out and playing games. People looked so happy and contended.

The Datang musical fountain did a 15 minute show which was really pretty - but what amazed me was the sheer scale of the fountain. It probably spanned 8 city blocks in length! And the music was beautiful as well. I saw it during the day and then returned at night

I also walked thru Datang Everbright City - just a neighborhood shopping area. It reminded me of the volume of the Minnesota state fair … but everyday. There were sooooo many people there.
