Men Playing Xiangqi

We walked through People's Park. There was an area where people sat around permanent stone tables, playing various games. There were numerous games of Mahjong, some of Xiangqi, and various card games. The most interesting thing, though, was the variety of participants. Not just older men. There were women playing, too. And there were younger people. Small groups gathered around each table, calling out advice and bantering with the players. It was a beautiful scene.
