Chinanews, Beijing, January 8 – Blogs are the newest cyber way for the general public to publish their thoughts, and are usually considered as the favorite of fashionable youths only. However, many Chinese senior citizens have set up blogs of their own. In fact, they have their own online forums, too.

 

The web site that provides these fashionable services is oldkids.cn, and it has no less than 600 subscribers currently.

 

Bicycling as a sport also has its supporters among the elderly. Several elder bicycling lovers in Shanghai have founded their own club, and they have travelled around Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces on bicycles. Many elderly people will not content themselves with walking along park lanes, They love professional gyms better, especially yoga and Latin dance.

 

Senior citizens have become a new growth point in tourism in Shanghai, too. Statistics show that nearly 35% of outbound travellers from Shanghai are senior citizens.
