For Citywalk, young people have a very literary saying, that is, "to discover, feel, and accept all possibilities while walking". Translated, it's just doing nothing and wandering around.
For Citywalk, which has suddenly become popular recently, naturally many people scoff at it... Saying "isn't it just a gai", "going downstairs and taking a walk" can be so tall...
This kind of street walking, because of a fashionable title, has quickly developed into a trend, and now major social media platforms are also actively leading this trend, and titled: "Looking for city fireworks" and "A small trip at the doorstep can also be fun." “
Stuttering bowls of wonton noodles in an alley, playing chess with the boss in a small alley, spending half an hour in a street café, watching an art exhibition in a museum, feeding pigeons in a square with nothing to do, or completely lost in front of a broken road at dusk...
In short, Citywalk always has a literary and artistic halo, and it has a lot of feelings among a large number of young people.
Open Little Red Book, you will find that no matter what city you are in, there are people doing their best to walk.
Some shop-exploring bloggers were full of tears: "Purposeless is purpose, walking aimlessly in the city." ”
There are also reading bloggers who teach: "If a person walking is dating the earth, then citywalk is talking to the earth." ”
What" strolling around the city, walking to the intersection and tossing a coin decides to go left to right, go straight when you meet a green light, turn a corner at a red light. ”
"What not to check in the Internet celebrity store, aimlessly shuttle, with footsteps to record and measure, is like opening a blind box in a city..."
In fact, to delve into why Citywalk is so popular, to put it bluntly, it is to find a happiness that does not cost money to travel in big cities.
Walking, seeing, walking and patting, exercising the body, cultivating sentiment, and solving the problem of mental internal friction.
This craze is actually popular among young people who have returned from studying abroad.
YOYO WAS A BIG CITYWALK ENTHUSIAST – WHEN SHE WAS STILL STUDYING IN THE UK.
While studying in London, she walked weekly along the south bank of the Thames, across the Millennium Bridge, and to the Shakespearean Playhouse.
Sometimes I take a walk to open a blind box, and I will come across Westminster Abbey, turning from Oxford Street to Charing Street Cross
Shop, the whole person is the reality version of "True Love First".
Watch the moon in a foreign land, smell the long-awaited artistic atmosphere, and turn left into the jazz live encounter.
Xiao Wang sighed with emotion: "Xiaobourgeois fantasy is a very effective compensation for reality. ”
And when the one-year study abroad life ended and returned to Beijing to work, after that happy life was suspended, Xiao Wang's citywalk also changed its taste.
Because Beijing's citywalk is too "old hundred capital" flavor.
Typing "Beijing" on a search engine and you'll find 100 highly granular detailed citywalk routes for Amway.
It doesn't matter whether you set out from Wudao Camp or Dongdan, you can ensure that you are niche, high-quality, and do not go back, and you can occasionally encounter 5 hutongs, and you can take at least 9 photos that can post moments of friends.
If you change the keyword to "Shanghai", it is simply a game of "street scene, café, white wall, beautiful women".
In the eyes of CW enthusiasts, in addition to Tokyo, Shanghai is probably the most suitable place for CW.
After all, there are both Shikumen and Wutong Alleys, as well as Ten Mile Ocean Field, skyscrapers, and various cafes, dessert shops, food stalls, and magic capitals on street corners, which are always alive in various cultural tolerances.
In Nanjing, there is an ultimate question among CityWalk enthusiasts: "Do you know where the 24 exits of Xinjiekou lead?" ”
In Hangzhou, the most classic Citywalk route can be planned into three: looking for tea fragrance, watching humanities, eating fireworks, Longjing Tea Village, City God Pavilion, Dajing Alley...
Listen to the old people talk about the old base in Hangzhou dialect in the Wushan tea room, eat Hangzhou snacks and onion buns in the City God Pavilion, or find a fly noodle restaurant in a small lane to bowl Hangzhou people's favorite waist flower mixed chuan.
Today, Citywalk calls for companionship by:
"Come out and play!"
"Where to?"
"I don't know, but I know when I come out."
Although it sounds beautiful, for those social animals who live daily 996, this is just a rare little spare time, the last bit of bright color in life.
Xiao Di, a game department of a major Internet factory, said: "Internet people do not have weekends, even the citywalk time, is in the gap between business trips, see sewing needles, by the way." “
Amei, who advertises dogs in Beijing: "In my spare time, I just want to adjust myself to a state of not thinking, and take a citywalk at my doorstep, even if it is my gap hour." ”
Her citywalk route runs along the Liangma River and follows Chaoyang Park.
This is the bank of the "Seine River in Beijing", and walking around at the turn of spring and summer, she can always encounter the so-called four scenes of middle-class life: river jumping, paddle boarding, fishing, yoga.
Even if she wanders around in the most comfortable place, Amei still can't completely relax:
"The walk is indeed chilly, but even at this time, I will hold my mobile phone the whole time, read the group return work news, and type the manuscript in the memo as I walk, which is completely subconscious."
Liu Haoran once sold wine in disguise in Liangmahe, and she also missed it, and she suspected that she didn't meet it because she looked down at her phone.
"Relaxation is to relax, but I don't dare to relax completely, I always feel that there is a demon in my phone calling me... So being able to walk by the river is already an extremely happy leisure. ”
Another social animal Yizhi returned from a business trip in Shanghai, cut a vlog, and continued to tumble in the torrent of big factories.
He said: "When I went to school as a child, I could save enough for a 10-minute break in a 45-minute class, and when I grew up to go to class for a while, I always had to taste some sweetness of life. ”
"Go out and live, come back and roll up."
In fact, for countless social animals, in addition to the options of eating junk food, watching boring TV series, and staying up late in revenge, there is still a healthy and gentle way to indulge, that is, Citywalk.
Maybe only at that moment will we finally stop, it turns out that in this world, after all, there are still fireworks in the world, after all, there are still beautiful scenery.
