We found a bouldering gym "抱石官" here in Xiamen which is open three nights a week. It is really just a small room tucked away in a random building with hand/foot holds placed all over the walls which have been fashioned in varying angles. I do like it however bc it has fulfilled my boyhood dream of creating a bouldering wall in my bedroom. My mum probably remembers when I bought some hand/foot holds from REI in hopes of putting something like that together in my room (for a period of time in middle school my bedroom was a roller-blading rink and a miniature-sized miniature golf course -- now it is a teenager's years of angst-ridden self-expression crystallized into a sort of art gallery). Anyway, 那个时候 the bouldering/climbing wall did not work out due to insufficient stud supports behind my walls.
So now there's this quaint one-room bouldering gym which I'll try to take to a few times a week and get to know the guys who rent out the space, of which they seem to be desperately trying to hold on to (apparently their other place closed down).
