感到身心疲惫吗?调整身心,就去这些“慢生活”城市

Overwhelmed by Pressures? You May Adjust Yourself in These Slow-paced Chinese Cities

生活在城市的人们,总是被生存的压力所包围,努力工作、努力学习、努力活着,生怕稍有松懈就会被大家远远甩开。

Urban dwellers are more often than not packed with pressures for survival, working, learning and living, for fear of being left far behind even if for a little drop-off.

可压力越大,就越向往自由,于是,世界那么大,我想去看看,成了大多数人心中最迫切的愿望,也许有人会说旅行就是懦弱的逃避,根本不能解决问题。

The more pressure you have, the more you are yearning for freedom. "The world is so big that I want to take a look" has become an immediate wish from most of us, though someone argued travelling is a breakout of reality and a kind of cowardice.

旅行,并不是对生活的逃离,短暂的离开,只是为了让我们更好的回归生活。

Travelling is not a breakout of life but a temporary escape for you to prepare a better frame of mind when back to reality.

想找个地方虚度光阴吧,这里有国内慢生活5座城市… …

So want to 'trifle away' you time? We have listed five 'slow-paced' cities in China for you…

 

有一种慵懒,叫成都慢生活

A kind of idleness named Chengdu's Slow Life

悠闲、安逸、慵懒,这些让我们可望而不可即的生活状态,早已成了成都的标签。

Leisure, ease and laziness, a lifestyle within sight but beyond reach, is labelled on Chengdu.

成都人是幸福的,喝茶、打麻将、吃火锅,就是他们的日常。

Chengduese are happy. Drinking tea, playing mahjong and eating hotpot are their daily routines.

m5-8df423.jpg

婉转的巷子,透着满足和安逸;雕琢的匠人,传递着美好和精致;花样的美食,诱惑着每一个匆匆过客。

All seem to be contented and at ease in those winding alleys, permeated with beauties and delicacies made by craftsmen and enticing fancy foods for every passers-by.

再英勇的战士也需要偶尔的休憩,与其整日徘徊在崩溃边缘,不如试着放慢脚步,分出一些时间来感受生活的美好。

Even the most valiant soldier needs occasional rest. So instead of teetering on the brink of collapse, you'd rather slow down your pace and set aside some time to get yourself attached to the beautiful side of life.

有一种享受,叫迷失鼓浪屿

A kind of enjoyment named Lost in Kulangsu

有人说,鼓浪屿是文艺、小资的代名词,也有人说,如今的鼓浪屿不过是一条不那么喧闹的商业街。

Someone said Kulangsu is synonymous with literature, art and petty bourgeoisie. Other said it is merely a commercial street that happens to be not so noisy.

m8-7cc982.jpg

在我看来,那不过是每个人的心境不同罢了。

In my point of view, it is up to each individual's mood.

m9-011832.jpg

这里的每一条小路,都像是一个美丽的谜语,你不走近它,永远也无法探寻巷子深处的谜底。

Each path here composes a beautiful riddle, the answer to which lies in the depth unanswerable without approaching it.

m10-f925b2.jpg

于幽静延绵中悠然拾步,你可以什么也不用想,什么也不用做,任时光在身边流淌。

Sauntering in the stretching quietness, you don't bother to have a slightest thought, nor hands on whatsoever, but your time flowing freely around you. 

m11-705c56.jpg

当你试着将心情放松,你会发现不管是鼓浪屿,还是自己的生活,依然那么简单美好。

Just try to relax and unwind until you are hit by a thinking that everything is just so simple and blissful be it in Kulangsu or in your own life.

有一种惬意,叫烟雨飘摇的扬州

A kind of pleasance named Misty Yangzhou

三月间的扬州,成了一场姹紫嫣红,莺莺燕燕的盛宴。

Yangzhou in March has turned itself into a flowery feast of orioles and swallows.

m13-fa05b1.jpg

精致的园林里,春水初生,春花出绽,和着微风细雨,小桥流水,楼台间荡漾着婉约,令人迷醉。

In exquisite gardens, views are intoxicating from burgeoning spring waters and florals, rippled euphemistically with breeze and drizzle, among tiny bridges and streams and in between of pavilions and terraces.

m14-343026.jpg

瘦西湖的烟雨诗意,日落黄昏的彩云晚霞,霓虹初上的温柔闲适,多想就这样静静坐在窗前,听着雨声滴答,看烟雨画船。

With mists hovering Slender West Lake, sunset glows and tenderly ease of the neon lights, one may just want to sit quietly in front of the window, hearing raindrops and watching hazy boats.

m15-42f22f.jpg

在春天轻盈的烟雨里,她嫣然的一笑,就仿佛醉了整个江南。

Her bewitching smile in the fuzzy rain of spring seems to have got the whole Jiangnan inebriated.

有一种放空,叫大理看海听风

A kind of emptiness named Erhai Breezing

苍山洱海畔,风花雪月间,大理总有一种美,一段动人的故事,让你有着非去不可的理由。

At the lakeside of Erhai, amidst the romantic themes, there will always be an enchanting beauty or a piece of moving story that has you geared up for it.

m17-c8c59e.jpg

在洱海边,折一根青草细数阳光的美好,听海水在耳边讲情话,就连时光都会被酿成美酒。

Just rip a piece of grass to count the good deeds of sunshine, or listen to whispers of the lake water… even the time can be brewed into wine.

m18-c23998.jpg

泛舟湖上,看夕阳西下,光影潋滟,或去镇上吃吃当地特色小吃,去酒吧喝到微醺,然后在和缓的涛声中进入梦乡。

You can row a boat toward sunset brimming waves, or try their local delicacies at the town. Then have a booze up in a bar and sleep soundly accompanied by the gentle sound of the waves.

m19-f30b38.jpg

在大理,时间是静止的,空气是清甜的,心情是平静的,就连放空都成了一种享受。

In Dali City of Yunnan Province, the time is still, the air is sweet, the mood is calm, and even vegging out for emptiness is a kind of enjoyment.

m20-1bcd62.jpg

有一种宁静,叫朝圣拉萨

A kind of tranquility named Lhasa Pilgrimage 

如果说,有信仰的地方就是天堂,那拉萨,一定是最接近天堂的地方。

If a place with belief is heaven, Lhasa must be the closest place to heaven.

m21-511844.jpg

那里有耀眼的阳光和湛蓝的天空,有飘扬的经幡和祈福的转经筒,还有最虔诚的信仰和最纯净的眼眸。

You can find the brightest sunshine, the bluest sky, the prayer banners and wheels, as well as the most pious faith and the most pure eyes.

m22-7e6116.jpg

不管是老人,还是孩子,他们的脸上都有一种与世隔绝的神情,干净纯粹,丝毫没有被当代社会的浮躁所侵染。

Whether old people or little kids, their faces have a look of being isolated from the outside world, so clean and pure, not affected by the impetuosity of contemporary society.

m23-bc7dfa.jpg

在城市中浸泡太久的你,相信在拉萨一定能找回那种久违的宁静。

If you have been tainted in the city for too long, you will surely find that long-lost peace in Lhasa.

m24-acdb18.jpg

当你被生活压得喘不过气时,不妨给自己创造一个偷懒的机会,去这些最懒的城市,放慢脚步,在一杯茶里消磨整个黄昏,在半个梦里看星星满天。

When you are overwhelmed by life, give yourself a chance to be 'lazy' by going to the 'laziest' cities and slow down your pace. You can spend your whole evening with a cup of tea, while watching the starry night half awakened.

m25-f72415.jpg

人生需要暂停键。与其在快节奏的生活中压抑自己,不如用一次旅行,找回曾经那个被世俗掩埋的真我。

Life needs a pause button. Instead of repressing yourself in a fast-paced life, you'd better take a trip to retrieve your true self that has been buried with worldliness.
