Doing exercise is good for health especially for seniors. To make it more fun and good for soul, here comes the creative idea of listening soft musical sounds from music box while doing exercise at the public senior exercise playground. How to make it works? The idea is to install a music box under the handle wheel of senior exercise machines at the playground. When our beloved senior grandma and grandmother are doing exercise through the handle wheel, music will come out through their movement, and they can control when to start and to end interactively.

The Cantonese opera song 帝女花 is selected for the music box. This song is unquestionably the most familiar piece among the seniors in Hong Kong. A very local taste mixes so well with it. And, the story behind this song was told through every single musical note, which may even arouse lots of memories of the seniors. It creates happiness in a very low cost.
