The Children's Park or Er Tong Gong Yuan on Renmin Dajie and opposite Peony gardens is a great park and has so much for children to do but is dominated by the elderly of Changchun. The older generations have a great time in this park and can be seen singing, dancing and playing games all over the park.

It's also a very beautiful park with lots to see.  It has a fairly big lake that you can pedalo for an hour for 60 yuan. 

Each time I see something different. Like today I saw them ballroom dance, play dominoes, and one young man was playing the flute quite beautifully. 

The children's area is a wee bit past its best but Thomas adores it and loves 

the miniature train ride the best which is 20 yuan for 3 circuits of the track.

It's a pretty park with plenty of places to take good photos. There are plenty of places to grab a snack and have a sit down but nowhere to sit on the grass and have a picnic like some other parks.

A great park for kids and people who like to see the elderly Chinese enjoy themselves.

The following photos were submitted by Steve Mellow.

Steve's photos tune into the great entertainment provided by the older generations of Changchun.

These great images show the energy and vitality of the park, and the fun these people have there.

They really enjoy themselves with their traditional Chinese dancing and music.

Always music from a variety of different musical instrument and here you see musicians playing the erhu and Chinese style trumpets.

And finally, a photo of Marcella and Steven - no sorry it's an ornamental hedge in the shape of panda - I think.
