For Yang Tong, a lady in Beijing, playing Frisbee(飞盘) with friends has become her favourite hobby. It's really relaxing.
She is not alone. As a fun outdoor sport, Frisbee is getting popular in China these years.
Playing Frisbee has many good parts. First, Frisbee is friendly to all. It's quite easy, so people needn't spend a lot of time learning it. Meanwhile, Frisbee is a team sport. It helps people quickly get to know each other, so it's a good way to make friends. It's also quite safe to play because the sport doesn't need any physical contact.
"Frisbee is still a new sport, but it's quickly catching people's interest," says Qin Muxin, working at a frisbee club. He says there are more than 20 such clubs in Beijing. And there could be 20,000 to 30,000 people playing the sport in Beijing alone. "I think more and more people will fall in love with the sport in the future," Qin says.

The "city walk" came from the UK and it's quite different from a traditional trip. When you go on a city walk, you are not dashing to see famous places like the Great Wall or the Forbidden City. Instead, you can take your time to go around the city slowly on foot, enjoy the local ways and traditions, and find cool things you might not notice in the past. A city walk takes you away from the busy tourist places and shopping centres. You can walk into a local street, meet the people of the city and see how they live there. For example, you can see an elderly man playing chess in the park or a group of children playing football on a street corner.
People who enjoy city walks are curious and love to explore a city by walking. In this way, they can really feel and understand the city better. For example, if you take a walk in Chongqing, you can enjoy the beautiful hills that the city is famous for.
Young people like the city walk more. They want to enjoy their free time and learn new things, even if they're busy. Walking is a fun way to be alone with your thoughts and it's good for your health. Like someone famous once said, "Loving yourself is the start of a happy life." The city walk is a good way to start the trip by finding fun in exploring.
