Just beyond the entrance to the Beijing Temple of Heaven, locals were engaged in all kinds of interesting activities like Tai Chi, hacky sack, ballroom dance, sword fighting, and writing Chinese calligraphy characters on the sidewalk.

The men stand around judging each other on the quality of the writing.
