Not only does it transport you to a different world，but reading is also a form of relaxation. Reading broadens your scope of knowledge and also builds your vocabulary.Bird watching is another interesting hobby loved by many retired people.

Many people watch birds and then write down their experience along with pictures of various birds.Sky gazing or star gazing is a hobby that many senior citizens like to pursue. Before you pursue your hobby，it is wise to read some books about astronomy (天文学) and space. You can also surf the Internet and learn about the basics of astronomy. You can also visit a planetarium (天文馆) which is a great place to learn more about stars，and the solar system.
