The designated tent area. Strangely, no one has their tent here.
Unoccupied at the present moment.
Beijing is a big and busy city.
Most people live with their family which may include kids or grandparents.
There seems to be a lack of quiet time and alone time.
So, people make due the best they can.
And, it seems, for some, the best they can do is a tent by the river.
Not a bad place to spend the night.
I’ve noticed that the tents only show up on weekends.
Not a bad place to spend the night.
It is usually only two people and I’ve yet to see any kids in or around the tents.
I’m thinking it is a romantic escape since hotels may cost too much and maybe people don’t want their names down on a receipt or hotel register.
Either way, I find it a very novel, and romantic, way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and return back to nature. All in the middle of 23 million people.
