China - Beijing - Beihai Park

A row of coloured jianzi shuttlecocks on display during morning exercises in Beihai Park, an imperial garden to the northwest of the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. First built in the 10th century, it was amongst the largest of Chinese gardens, and contains numerous historically important structures, palaces and temples. Since 1925, the place has been open to the public as a park. (Photo by Colin McPherson/Corbis via Getty Images)
