Saturday Swim in Hohai

Why are all these men half-naked?

Well, this man is wearing an amazingly smart changing sheet.  Because he's about to go.....

...swimming here at Hohai.  It's a Beijing rite of passage to go skating on Hohai in the winter, but I didn't know there were swimmers as well until my friend Barbara texted me and asked me to join her.

So, no worries about pollution.  You can see the bottom here at the northern end of the lake.





The Hohai swim club!  Myself, Barbara and her husband Guang!
