My wife is amazingly good at spotting wildlife when we hike around the parks in China. Our trip to Badachu Park was no exception when she spotted this cat taking a nap on the rocks behind a pool. I like the way the cat blends in with the rocks.

Nunnery
In the middle of Badachu Park you can find the amazingly beautiful Longquan Nunnery. It has fountains and a nice courtyard where you can relax, drink tea or just people watch. One of the must see places for a day trip outside of Beijing.
Blisters
The hike through Badachu Park is steep, uneven and in July, very sweaty. This couple hiked all the way up at the same time we did and did a good job keeping up with us. I am always amazed to see women hiking in heels like this. Before this hike I assumed the Vibrams that I wear for hikes like this were the opposite of high heels both in fashion and functionality. I was wrong, it’s only the opposite in fashion.
Grand
The lions at Badachu Park some of the best decorated I have seen in China. It is a great park with not too many people and only an hour bus ride from the east side of Beijing.
