Earlier this month, I returned to Bamboo Park (or Forest Park or Botanical Gardens depending on the translation). A last minute invitation to a hike then barbeque. Most of the paths up from the park are stairs, unfortunately they are not good for my knees (it took 3 weeks for them to recover last time) so I only joined the group to the trail beginning then enjoyed rock jumping and resting until they returned.
The park has an interesting concept for barbeque - wonder if it would work in the US? You pay a certain price per person ($60 RMB) and in return you get a plate (for each person) of food to be barbequed. You also get the "fixings" - barbeque grill with hot charcoal, plates, utensils, sauces, table clothes, bench clothes, etc. 
The drinks are selected separately; priced according to what you want. And when you are thru, someone comes and cleans it all up before the next group uses the spot! Nothing to haul, nothing to clean, just cook, eat, and leave.
The meal came with a lot of food - squid slices, chicken, pork, beef, fish balls, hot dog, sausage, bread, 1/2 a baby bird (hummingbird size), sweet potato slices, corn on the cob, etc. One of our group (H.H.) bought some bananas on the way back to the barbeque area. So J.F. was able to share his grilled banana treat with everyone after we had eaten the rest of the meal. Fantastic food followed by a sweet dessert. Perfect day in Fuzhou.
