Q: Any sports/hobbies in China that have surprised you with their popularity?
It's always nice to see hacky sack being played here (although it may not be a sport), though I'm wondering if you know of any quirky hobbies or sports that have unexpected popularity here in China?

I was going to mention hacky sac too. Used to be quite the past time for my pals and I, now I have discovered that our hobby is shared by old Chinese woman too.
Walking backwards clapping while listening to very distorted music from a small box

Brilliant! Or making aeroplane gestures with their arms whilst listening to said music.
Yeah swimming in the waters when it's freezing outside. They do this in Beijing and it's supposed to be really popular here.

Singing at 6 o'clock in the morning, dancing stations where women dance with other women, walking backwards with a pair of metal balls in your hand, listening to radio on the hoof,
All those crazy ineffective exercise machines in the parks.
