Tourist trap?

On a recent trip to Nanjing's Zijin Mountain, three friends and I took full advantage of one of China's great tourist games. For 20 RMB (roughly $3), I ran around a shallow pond in a inflated plastic ball about 10 feet in diameter. It was great fun...at first. Then I realized there was really no way to move on the water. It was nearly impossible to stand and run like an actual hamster does in a cage. I tried to crawl. I ended up somersaulting. The rest....well, you'll see.

Hahaha too bad I didn't know this last time I was in Nanjing. I'll check it out when I visit Nanjing again.

Have a good time in China.

It looks very tiring and not fun at all!
