Summer heatwave? We鈥檝e got it licked!
Print Edition
IT’S been a record hot summer, with people turning to both traditional and modern ways to beat the heat — and many of them are fun.
Melon is no doubt the star fruit of the season. A new vanilla-flavored melon from Bachu County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in northwestern China got its first local taste test from Jing’an residents in the Baoshan Road Community.
When the sun sets in summer, families and neighbors have long congregated outside to take in the chance of an evening breeze. They sit in chairs along lanes and in parks, chatting and often playing cards.
Free outdoor movies are screened every weekend in a district park.
For the second consecutive year, the Jing’ansi Community invited renowned shadow play (piyingxi) troupes from Anhui and Zhejiang provinces to stage popular stories with shadow puppets, including “Battle between Monkey King and Bull Demon King” and “Turtle and Crane.”
Daning Music Plaza offers evening concerts, ranging from symphony classics to movie and pop songs.
To escape daytime heat, many senior citizens go to teahouses to listen to pingtan, traditional storytelling and ballad singing in the Suzhou dialect.
Children can always find fun by themselves. The Youth Science and Technology Center in the Caojiadu community encourages the young to use their minds and come up with their own inventions.
