Take a walk into Chaoyang Park – Beijing's largest – and you'll eventually happen upon quite the social scene.
On any given day, playing on trusty "Double Fish" tables, are the city's table tennis aficionados.
It's half workout, half socializing as the regulars spend not-so-lazy afternoons and evenings in a series of informal games. (And at least one regular at Chaoyang is in his 80s.)
The Star's Scott Simmie graciously (and likely wisely) declined a friendly challenge for a match. But he did take along a video camera. View the video at upper right - and click the icon near the lower right corner for a full-screen version.
