I'm resolved to see more during Year of the Rabbit

Since moving to Beijing in August 2006, I've tried hard to take in its myriad of cultural riches. But despite spending most weekends (and many evenings) over the past four years doing that, I'm surprised by all that remains to be seen and experienced.

During the Chinese new year, I resolved to spend the Year of Rabbit reducing this deficit. Although I've visited more than a dozen central Beijing parks, a few remain terra incognita.

Fortunately, two of them, Taoranting Park and Purple Bamboo Park, are on the No 4 subway line, making them much easier to get to.
