Fuxing Park Morning
Huangpu, Shanghai
Shanghai's liveliest morning: tai chi under the plane trees, then ballroom tango on the terrace.
Fuxing Park wakes at dawn: tai chi masters in silk, calligraphers writing on the paths with water and a giant brush, and on the terrace, a ballroom where retirees tango to accordion music with immaculate posture. It is the friendliest show in Shanghai, and it is free.
Arrive before 8:00. Nobody minds an audience - nod, smile, and someone will likely invite you to dance.
Best for: Shanghai's morning ritual, from tai chi to tango.
