Night photography in a park in Tianjin

Here are some photos my girlfriend made some night, in a park in Tianjin. The park is built on a small hill made from garbage. Now there are trees flowers.

Di Tan Gong Yuan

After visiting the "Temple of Heaven" park (Tian Tan gong yuan) two weeks ago, today we went to the "Temple of Earth" park (Di Tan gong yuan) to have a look. Entrance was a staggering 2 Yuan (Eur 0,20).


Beautiful fresh spring colors everywhere

My girlfriend had just bought a new camera, and constantly takes photos 'for practice', she says :)

While we were sitting down at a street barbecue restaurant, waiting for our chicken wings and lamb skewers, we met a little girl who was also interested in photography. She could barely lift the big camera, but she snatched it from our hands and started shooting away.

Street barbecue; the best!

Temple of Heaven park

My parents came to visit, and we spent some hours in the Temple of Heaven park. The actual temple is so-so, but in the surrounding park are many things to see and do.



The Temple of Heaven was built 600 years ago and was a place for the emperor to bring offers to the gods.



Spring has come to Beijing, and there are many flowers and blossoms

Young and old observing a music performance





The park is a nice place to take a rest on a Sunday afternoon



Later, in a hutong near the park, we saw these two dogs



Some people played traditional music and sang songs







This cleaner is well protected against the sun, dust and tourists with cameras

These kids were fascinated by the little bicycle that rides by itself



On a local market were everything is sold; from used coffee cups to herbs and tea
