The grandeur of modern China is reflected in its skyscrapers and meticulous landscaping not only seen in big cities like Shanghai and Beijing but also in smaller [Chinese standards] cities like Nanning. This photo reminds me of one very hot weekend I spent just hanging out at a park in Minzu Dadao, a skill I've learned to keep me sane at least for the time I was there.
