A kindergarten in Taiyuan, the largest city in Shanxi province of China, was turned into a recreational centre for middle-aged and elderly people. The principal said "There are fewer and fewer children, and there are also more and more retired senior citizens.” The kindergarten was founded in 2005 and once served as many as 280 children, but closed last year.

It reopened in December as Impressions of Youth, a recreational centre for people of retirement age and above. The space in the provincial capital Taiyuan boasts around 100 adult learners of music, dance, modelling and other subjects.
