Stone stairs go down a hill between trees. Stone posts with chains between them are on the left of the stairs
The hill or mountain or whatever you want to call it at Tanglangshan park that we climbed had stairs most of the way to the top. At least as far as I can remember. And I took a lot of photos of them for some reason

Stone stairs leading up a hill. At the bottom on either side are large rocks and the stairs are surrounded by trees and plants. The railing is made of red wooden posts every couple of steps with rope between them
This week’s photos are all from a hike in Tanglangshan park. When I looked up which district it was in (Nanshan) the map showed it as a part of a larger park. I’m not sure how big Tanglangshan is but the whole area is pretty large

I saw an adventure cat when I was out the other day. I asked the owner if I could take a photo and found out that the adventure cat had a dog friend too

A red paper lantern hangs off of a tree
In addition to flowers I also take photos of other things that don’t move since it’s harder to mess up the shot. And living in China one of those things is paper lanterns

A small sturgeon in a tank at a supermarket
Chinese supermarket sturgeon. Every time I see them I wonder how you cook them. And also where you get them. I thought most sturgeons were endangered so they probably aren’t wild caught. Are they captive bred then?

Some of the most interesting areas are places with a mix of buildings. Old and new or tall and short
