Guang Qi Park (光啟公園) Here comes Ethan

Today we went to Xujiahui because we have to meet a friend in afternoon. We chose this place because it is nearby the friend's apartment. When we arrived at the park, there was a lot of people in the park, some of them doing exercise and some of them practicing dancing. Mostly was the old folks.

Ethan was the most happy when he saw the rock statues arranged in a parallel line towards the grave of Xu. The local people put their clothes and hung their stuffs on the rock statues. So even Ethan requested us to put him on but seeing people putting their stuffs there so we just chose those clear of stuff.


In the middle of the park, there was the statues of the "Xu Guang Qi" the astronomer. Ethan not willing to go down from the table he was standing.

We walked further inside the park, there was a small area putting all kind of exercise machines. Just like what we have at the "Youth Park" in Penang. Ethan gotten to play with some of the machines. He was happy able to try his hands on all the exercise machines.



Ethan managed to ride the rock horse again because people were slowly leaving the park. The rock horse below was located beside the grave and not in front of the park.



Well before we left the park, we went to take some photos with this "Xu Guang Qi and Ricci"statues. Before that there were lot of people practicing dancing in this area. But because it was getting late in the morning so people slowly left and went back home. Ethan was excited seeing these statues and he walked in and between the two statues. He requested his parent to take photo of him together with those two guys.
