Would you like to have your teeth checked while
onlookers watch curiously on the street? Maybe not!
But this is China’s National Love Teeth Day and the
government-sponsored dental check-ups do attract a
lot of people for a free examination. Next time you
cannot get a dental appointment, just book your flight
to China on Sept. 20 and say Ah…
Like many traditions, Chinese weddings are interesting
because of the rich culture involved. The bride would
arrive at groom's house with her faced covered and
guests usually give the newly wed cash in "red
envelopes” as a symbol of prosperity. As you can see,
Chinese prefer red to any other colors.
Many Chinese laborers earn less than $70 USD a
month. With such a meager income, they need to pinch
pennies even for life’s many necessities like a decent
hair cut once in a while. Pictured here is a street barber
in Beijing who cuts hair for around 50 cents.
Oh man, it's hot! There are many spicy cuisines in China
but none tops this signature Szechuan dish “chili grilled
fish” in a Beijing restaurant called the Whole Fish Wok.
The chili-covered fish tastes delicious but your taste
buds may be totally numbed for a few days!
This Jing Shan Park north of the Forbidden City in Beijing
is a fun place to hang out on weekends. Beijingers, like
many Chinese, enjoy doing things in groups. They
would sing, dance, exercise, or play chess together. Not
a bad way to sing a weekend away with fellow empty
nesters pictured here!
Overloaded? Don't worry, he's just taking some
lightweight packaging materials to recycle. Recyclers
pick up paper, plastic, furniture, appliances, and other
recyclable materials from homes and offices and turn
them into small amount of cash for a living.
A street gym named Family Fitness? Public exercise
facilities are everywhere in many residential
neighborhoods in big cities. This is China's answer to
fighting global obesity. No membership is required and
it's open 24/7 in a street corner near you!
