Ka-hyun, the city adjacent to shanghai, has been a typical representative of my heart. With a desire for water from the small bridge and an ancient town, i began a seven-day holiday journey. However, when truly entering kaing to experience the life of this city, i find it not just as gentle and tender as i imagined, but also on the unexpected side。
At the beginning of kaing, the rhythm of life here was felt first. Ka xing does seem to be much more timid than shanghai. Early in the morning, walking in the streets, watching the hot air of the breakfast shop on the side of the street, the old people sitting at the door in the sun and chatting, the quiet and the warmth that i used to live in shanghai, as if i had pressed the “slow button” of life. Here people seem to have more time to enjoy life than to be pushed forward. This difference in rhythm has made me feel a little uncomfortable in the first few days and even “silent”. But over time, i began to enjoy this leisure and to understand the life attitude behind it。
I'm impressed by ka-hin's traffic. As a local municipality, ka-hing's transport infrastructure is relatively well developed, urban transport is easy and public transport is well developed. However, with the development of cities, congestion is beginning to emerge. In particular, at peak hours early and late, vehicle queues will also occur at the main intersections and sections. But ka-hyun's public transport service is very good and the drivers are patient, which makes me comfortable during my travels。
Ka xing's food is a big surprise for my trip. As a southerner, i have always had a special preference for food in the river and south america. The cuisine is well known for its lightness and beauty, whether it be the local sorghum, meatloaf or all kinds of seafood and riverfood. However, in addition to these traditional foods, the market for ginseng foods is constantly evolving and changing. Here, you can find a different style of restaurant and snack stand, from the traditional gangnam restaurant to the modern western restaurant, from the street side to the high-end hotel restaurant. The diversity of this food culture has given me new insights into kaing. It is not merely a representative of the traditional river, south america, but a modern city that combines many food cultures。
There are, however, some areas where ka-hyun has made me uncomfortable. As a long-standing city, kaing has a rich cultural heritage and tourism resource. However, during the boom season, some hot spots tend to be overcrowded. The town of wu, for example, which was dubbed “the last man in china”, attracted thousands of tourists. However, when you really walk into wu town, you'll find it's covered in the air of commercialization. In the streets of ancient towns, tourists and traders are everywhere, and the feeling of calm and oldness has disappeared. Moreover, the relatively high prices of tickets at some sites may put some pressure on some tourists with limited budgets。
In the seven days of kashin, i also found an interesting phenomenon: people here seem to have a different attitude to life than shanghai. In shanghai, people are always busy running for cause and for life. At the same time, people are paying more attention to the quality and enjoyment of life. They are willing to spend more time with their families and friends to enjoy food and beauty. This difference in life attitudes gives me a new understanding of the definition of “happiness”. It is not just material enrichment, but the satisfaction and tranquillity of the heart。
In general, ka xing is a charming city. It has the tenderness and tenderness of the river and the vitality and passion of modern cities. Here, you can find the perfect mix of tradition and modernity, and you can feel the balance between leisure and busy. It is also not perfect, and some issues and challenges are emerging as cities develop. For me, shanghai, ka xing is familiar and strange. It gives me a different way of life and living attitude from shanghai, and gives me a new thought to “happiness”. If you have a chance to come to the occasion, you can slow down and feel the charm of the city, and perhaps you can find your own “happiness” here。
