Phot-o' the Day: A Tutorial on Playing Go; Ritan Park; Beijing, China


Ritan Park, just east of the central core of Beijing, People's Republic of China, is the place to see the ancient Temple of the Sun.  It is also a place where you can receive a tutorial on the playing of the Chinese boardgame Go, learning from one of the game's masters.  This expert, pictured above, was very passionate about the game and really immersed in explaining the intricacies of Go.  Unfortunately, the lesson was conducted only in Mandarin Chinese and the wisdom of his ages was lost on me.

Visited in July 2018.
