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.
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.
Chengduese are happy. Drinking tea, playing mahjong and eating hotpot are their daily routines.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Each path here composes a beautiful riddle, the answer to which lies in the depth unanswerable without approaching it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Her bewitching smile in the fuzzy rain of spring seems to have got the whole Jiangnan inebriated.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you have been tainted in the city for too long, you will surely find that long-lost peace in Lhasa.
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.
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.
