This was taken a month ago while the Spring wind was still strong. But the fresh air and the river were good reasons for the elders to have a couple hours of Mahjong sessions outdoors.
The residential community I live in was established in the late 80s. So 90% of the residents are elders. There is a recreation center adjacent to the community, but it’s only for senior government officials and employees who have authorizations. But anyway, it’s better off here.
Gambling is strictly prohibited in China. But I guess it doesn’t hurt for the elderly to play just to kill time.

Hi Huibo, mahjong is apparently also good to “exercise” the brain as well, so I guess it could also be classified as a healthy activity! : )
Hi Alice, yes it is a healthy activity when played without being associated with big sums of money, actually it takes a lot of brain power to play it well, I find it very challenging but also entertaining when playing with my family during the spring festival.
