Walking into the People's Park you feel a sense of calm and tranquility envelope you. It really is a refuge of peace amidst the noise and building works of Urumqi City. Arrive early morning (and I mean early around 8 o'clock Beijing time... Local time 6am) and you will be surrounded by all kinds of activities from sword dancing, tai chi, line dancing, fan dancing, backwards walking, opera singing, communal singing and anything else I might have missed. Despite the deluge of activity it still feels peaceful and different from the activity outside its walls. Every season is beautiful as the army of gardeners and cleaners beaver away to make the environment as much like a luscious garden as they can. Spring blossom and bulbs, summer flower carpets, autumn colours and winter snow festival with ice skating and other ice sports. It is definitely a place to go to experience another side of Urumqi life and see young and old having fun. Foreigners can join in too. Take a badminton racquet or table tennis bat along and you will be welcome to join in any one of the groups. If you feel like joining in the line dancing or ballroom dancing you will never have any difficulty finding a partner.
