The beginning of summer has arrived, and the smoke and wind in Jiangcheng bring summer, and flowers are born all the way. Walking along the riverbank, officially bidding farewell to spring, welcoming the new song of the four seasons, opening the book that is often read in my hand, the people who read the book and the beautiful scenery of the riverbank are blended together, and it looks very good.
When you think of the riverbank, what do you think of? Is it the soft wind on the Hankou River beach, or the red dome of the Ba Gong House? If the riverbank is compared to a book, the Hankou river beach is its background color, the century-old style is its title page, and the author is you and me.
This May, come on, read books together, and write about the riverbank.
"I pounce on a book like a hungry man pounces on bread." This famous quote of Gorky brings the reader's thirst and love for books to life.
In public places such as parks, coffee shops, subway stations, and bookstores along the riverbank, readers can be seen reading intently. They stand or sit, informally; Reading or memorizing, without interfering with each other, accompanying others and reading tirelessly.
The river beach in May is stunningly beautiful. On the newly grown lawn, holding a book scroll in your hand, you can look up at a beautiful picture of the blue sky and white clouds.
"Facing the river, spring flowers are blooming", reading here has a wonderful feeling of being integrated into the "Spring Map". Sunlight shines through the clouds and onto the pages, as if every word is glittering. When I was tired of reading, a gust of river breeze blew and gently brushed my cheeks, taking away all my worries and exhaustion.
In the Jiang'an Jixiang Qingyi Garden Pocket Park, you can not only find a picture book, but also run and play with the children, and laugh unbridledly. Office workers can go downstairs to read a good book, empty themselves, put happiness in their "pockets", and feel the good life together......
In the first national style theme bookstore in Liberation Park, sitting in the shade of a tree and immersing yourself in the sea of books, you can find a quiet time of your own, and the passage of time seems to be left behind.
Follow the path, all the way into the Chinese courtyard, small bridges and flowing water, red walls and green tiles, elegant and ancient style, like Chihiro who strayed into the fantasy world.
Not only can you read a book, but you can also enjoy tea. If you want, you can also eat a bite of Internet celebrity desserts, who said that May is not a day to read?
Steel windows, wax slabs, shikumen, granite roads, red wall tiles...... Walking through Xian'an Fang, it seems to pass through in one second. A hundred years later, Xian'an Fang has changed into a "new skin", showing its style in the early summer sun.
Red walls and black tiles, long alleys, and large balconies of old bungalows...... Hold a historical biography in the small shop and read it carefully, and it corresponds to the past hundred years, and we finally meet here through time and space.
The Hankou Historical District is like a thick history book, telling the changes of the past. Walking through it, the unique European style of the Ba Gong house comes into view, sitting in the small café on the side of Li Huangpi Road, waiting for a cup of fragrant coffee. The cafes on the street waft out the rich aroma of coffee, mixed with the smell of books, which makes people want to stop.
Treasure exploration in second-hand shops, rest in coffee shops, DIY in handmade shops...... Walking into this 230-meter-long street, Tongxingli has attracted more than 40 stores in more than 10 categories.
"Urban renewal" has given this article a more vivid vitality, and "treasure hunting" has walked into this alley, which is more like the process of us flipping through a book, surprising and full of fun, walking the whole way, full of happiness and infinite comfort.
Reading in a bookstore on Victory Street, an old bungalow full of historical charm is a different experience. Sit on a wooden chair by the window, let the sunlight shine on the pages, step on the wooden floor of the old bungalow, and immerse yourself in the architectural aesthetics of the old house.
Here, time seems to slow down, immerse yourself in the world of books, and feel the unique tranquility and beauty.
In the café downstairs of the office, the room is full of the aroma of coffee and the sound of talking in low decibels, you can also find your own world here. Take a good book that you don't usually have time to read, and pair it with a cup of fragrant coffee, which will fill your soul and be infinitely satisfied.
Walking through the streets of the riverbank, I can't help but think that if a group of statues were used to show the overall style of Wuhan, it should be a group reading map showing people of different ages:
Elderly people read newspapers, middle-aged people read magazines, young people bury their heads in books, and children are immersed in picture books...... How graceful......
Come on
On the banks of the river in May
Open a good book
Brew a good time of your own
Who says May isn't a day to read?
