Welcome to Today in China where I share one detail every day of what it's like to live in China.

Today I'm still in Nanhu Park close to the South gate (and one shot across the park) and we are looking at some water fountains that haven't been working for quite some time.  As an urban planner I know that water features in a park or public space are some of the most expensive things to maintain so its not surprising that many of these have just been abandoned over time.

Now they still serve a purpose and its seems that people take photos with them just the same, but I'm 100% sure they are far less impressive without the water than if they were filled and working.

Please, please, please, ask any questions in the comments and I would be happy to answer them as soon as I can.

Enjoy!!
