Xuanwu Lake

 This wall surrounds Nanjing from hundreds of years ago.  Many cities have old walls that you can walk along the top.  We haven't walked Nanjing's yet.  Behind it is the very large lake.

 These steps take you down to the wall entrance.  It's a passageway to get through.

 The lake is large and gorgeous.  It's about a 20 minute walk from our apartment.  You can boat here.  We took one with our niece, Hailey, later in November.  It was cold then.  Here it is September and still very warm.

 It's very warm, this is just haze.  Things are starting to die for the fall though.

 People come here to exercise.  They do it alone or there are large groups.  They do a slow style aerobics to all sorts of music, including Chinese.

 These type of reliefs are all over China.  They like this type of pictorial depiction.  They are very nice.

They do like to exercise and stretch.  See the man between the trees.  They love exercising in nature.
