Radio sounds and clapping hands around Xuanwu Lake, early morning (Audio 33)

If you spend any time in Nanjing, China you will find the lakes are very active with people and sounds. Over the years, I have collected quite a number of recordings(audiovisual) from Xuanwu Lake and Mochou Lake.  This recording is from Xuanwu lake around 6:30 am after a morning run
