Beijing: Sport Place (Beihang University)

Hey Guys,

welcome to the next article about Beijing. This is really not normal that some place like this is in such a list. But this place just felt right. It was nice and we had alot of fun at this sport place. We sat many evenings on that tribune.

Sport

In Beijing the people came out when it gets dark to make sport. This is the only time this is possible. The warm temperature and the smog is making the evening the best time to do it. For me it was still to warm to make something like sport. But alot people in beijing are coming out to the sport place and run their rounds. Some of them are jogging, some running, some walking, and some are walk around the place.
You see people in sport cloth but mostly the are runing in jeans or skirts… not all are even having sport shoes. You see sandles or even high heels.
Just lets say that you always have something to watch. You will always find something interessting.

What we were doing

We of course didn’t make sport. What did was buying coke and beer also cookies, ice and chips and set on the tribune and just watched. Okay we were also talking with each other. There is a nice silence in this place you find not often in beijing. It is relaxing just siting there and enjoying the place. Sadly but perfect for people that have to drive home the place closes on 10 o’clock. So you get the subway before it stops.

The university we were visiting was the Beihang University.
