What sports do Beijingers do in a day? Some Tsinghua journalism students will tell you through the lens.

When most people are still in their dream, some have already begun their morning exercises. If you happen to walk in the Ditan Park around 6:00 am, you can see various activities in Beijing. A group of retired women are performing Sword Dance while another group of them are immersed in their Tai Chi. A young soldier is running with the fresh morning air and the beautiful sunshine.

You may be attracted by a Chinese traditional spear, which is a symbolic weapon of Yang Warriors. You may also want to talk with the performer and ask him whether he is a descendant of the Yang Family. Then, a small Chinese diabolo may arouse your curiosity and interest. You would wonder how it is controlled so well by such a thin string.

As the sunshine becomes dazzling, most people are busy with work in their offices while some just begin their skateboard training. In the playground, young college students are chasing a football with their speed and power.

The temperature continues to rise in the afternoon, which makes indoor sports become better choices. In the meantime, a swimming match just finished. The winners are enjoying their victory.

Gymnasts are working hard in training in order to perform better in matches.

After school, boys and girls start their play and training. Only from sports can they temporarily forget the exhaustion from a long day tired study. And around 6:00 pm, most people get off work and some will go to parks or playgrounds after dinner. They run, jump and play balls to get relaxed. Exercises make them feel vibrant and energized.

It's growing dark, but the darkness cannot stop people's passion for sports.

Night already deep, Beijing city finally falls back into sleep...
