Frisbees catching public attention

"I felt I was getting the best of both worlds," Qu says.

"I usually burn 1,400 calories during a session, and my stamina has improved," he says.

His skills have too, and Qu says he has been able to better appreciate the elegance of the sport.

"I feel a sense of achievement and I'm proud whenever I score points for my team through cooperation," he says.

More importantly, he gets to see his friends more often.

"Four to five of us usually coordinate our time and sign up together for events near our homes," Qu says.

"After the match, we will have lunch or dinner together."

The frisbee clubs in Beijing usually have a photographer to capture moments in the game.

"The photos are very nice and can be reposted on our social media accounts as a reminder of the good times," Qu says.
