A polite way to say "that man is a little bald" 他头有点秃了 tātóutūlè

Bald - 秃子 tūzi

If he still has hair around the sides he could be considered half-bald or 半秃子 bàntūzi

If you a telling or writing a story in Chinese about the man who is half bald a suggestion would be.

有一天一个半秃的男人。。。。。。

yǒuyítiānyígèbàntūdenánrén.................

One day a half bald man.......................

Any other sugggestions from staff or users?

Do you mean 将 jiāng and  將. jiāng?

The latter character 將 jiāng is 繁体字 fántǐzì complex chinese character system.

Outings for recreation for Chinese in Beijing is becoming more popular. Your traditional sense of camping in a tent on the considered cold ground in Beijing is not so popular.

Usually most Chinese tend to have one day outings and or stay in inside type of dwellings such as cabins or motels if staying out in the "wilderness" for short breaks of a couple of days in length.

Yes there are awesome places to visit. There are village type of places found throughout the outer suburbs of Beijing were you can choose your own fish to eat. Usually set up as a BBQ style meal. Makes for a great relaxing day.

Sorry Mate, been a long time since on the message board.

I guess so it is very much a yin-yang thing. meaning 阴阳 Opposites attracting. Opposites interacting...

Thinking back, I would also say that 臭臭 would be more masculine. and 香香 feminine. so again a 阴阳 interaction.

Cheers
