Video: A look at traditional sports in China

Posted by Kristi Heim


The first morning I arrived in Beijing, I took a long walk through Ritan Park and shot some video of ordinary people exercising. I was astounded by all the different activities. My personal favorite (sorry, didn't get it on the video) is walking backwards. It should really be an Olympic event. Turns out this was the only sunny day we've had the entire trip.
