I was feeling anxious before my flight and came here to get some lunch. Was greeted with a warm smile and a great tasting, skilfully prepared veggie burrito. It made me feel much better — Thanks Barburrito team!

I visited Baiwangshan (百望山) on a Monday in December and there was virtually no one else there. It is a mountainous park with many different paths, some are paved and suitable for wheelchairs while others are steep hiking trails with scree and steps. The routes are well marked with maps placed at regular intervals. You can spend many hours exploring the pavilions, memorials, statues, and towers situated along the trails. From the top, the view is quite magnificent. Admission fee is 6 yuan.

This is an 8-lane running track that is open to the public from 6am-10pm. The centre field is a football pitch that can be used except when it has been booked by a team, or maintenance is being carried out.

This White Castle certainly has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Most people who came in ordered their food for takeaway (the venue doesn't have much seating), but we ate ours on-site and it was a very enjoyable meal. Everything was freshly cooked and tasted great.

The Bronx River Greenway enables you to walk/run/cycle from Soundview Park all the way to Muskrat Cove next to Woodlawn station. This section goes through Starlight park and is one of the prettier sections of the Greenway, running right alongside the Bronx river for several stretches.
