Summer nights kick off national fitness fever

Summer heat, when the night falls, and when the evening lights are lit, summer night life becomes lively everywhere around. When close friends meet for dinner, help the elderly and children enjoy the coolness outdoor, or exercise together in pocket parks, these activities not only help to cool off the summer heat, but can also build up one’s body, and make citizens feel the uniqueness that belongs only to summer nights.
