Martyr's Park

I finally had a little extra time to go to Martyrs Park, which is the big park in Changsha across from my hotel. Around 6am the whole city comes here to do Tai Chi and practice calligraphy and do other various aerobics and dancing. Kite flying is also a big thing. I will be definitely be back when the light is better and the people are out! The women here use umbrellas in the sun to protect themselves from the UV rays. Light skin is much more desirable here, and almost all lotions have a "whitening cream" in them.
