Well, they can’t, but shoes in hand instead. I don’t know if there’s a proper name for this kind of “pebblestone walk” but they can be found in a lot of parks in Mainland China, and are getting popular in Hong Kong as well. Probably based on the theory of reflexology, walking on these pebblestones is supposed to be good for one’s health. I took this photo in the Victoria Park but I didn’t try the walk — I did see some painful expressions from these people.

It looks kind of painful but also comfortable at the same time. Strange.
