Music in the Park







Another fun part of walking through the beautiful "Peoples' Park" in Nanning, is that people were playing all sorts of music there. Some seemed to be just playing for the fun of it and enjoying the day, others seemed to be practicing and were very serious about it. We hear "folksy" stuff, with traditional Chinese instruments, there were singers, flutists, hammer-dulcimers, all kinds of percussion, and more. The park is large enough that everyone can pick a picturesque spot under a tree by the water and not overlap each other with sound. Here are some pictures, including an interesting closeup of the actual sheet music someone was using.
