People's Park and Wide and Narrow Street

PEOPLE'S PARK
Today we didn't have any classes so we decided to explore Chengdu.  There is much to see here.  Chengdu is known as the retirement community of China.  This is where people come to stay when they are old.  Maybe that's why we like it so much.  The People's Park was full of the elderly performing in many different ways.  It was a delight to walk the beautiful park and enjoy the performances.

THE WIDE AND NARROW STREET
The Wide and Narrow Street is famous here too.  There are three main alleys and narrow streets called, Wide Alley, Narrow Alley, and Jing (Well) Alley.  Hence, the name Wide and Narrow Street.  It was a place full of history, shops, and restaurants.
