Facing the sunrise, in front of the eyes, there are dozens of women dressed in costume are in rows, forming a line, with the rhythmic music, walk up the "fashion" step, I will join this morning exercise team.
This is the "cool resort" of a small area, part of the women's every morning good time.
Lichuan City, Hubei Province, there is a place called "Sumadang", originally an inconspicuous village, because it is located in the longitudinal and wondrous Magnetic Cave Ditch canyon and the Qiyue Mountain meadow between the terrain up to 1,500 meters, cool in the summer. In recent years, Lichuan City, after carefully building, become a famous "cool resort", has been on fire for some years.
During the summer season, the total population of Sumadang is said to be as high as 300,000 people. Most of the people come from cities in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, such as Chongqing and Wuhan.
What attracts me to Sumadang, besides its cool and pleasant climate, is its "grounded" life.
In the morning, neighbors meet to go out for grocery shopping.
At noon, most of them eat at their own homes, but there are also times when they are invited by their hospitable neighbors. When we eat, we talk and laugh together, and it's very lively. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money from your family and friends. In the big city, the neighbors have not had such a scene for many years.
I remember when I was a kid in my grandma's house in the alley, I had this kind of interaction with my neighbors.
Whether it was morning or afternoon, from time to time in the house, you could hear the sound of music echoing over the neighborhood.
There were several people in the promenade, manipulating different instruments to play and play, harmonious and beautiful sound is endless. If you don't know how to play a musical instrument, you can sit under the eaves of the promenade and listen to the music of others.
Of course, you can go to the forest, sing a song yourself, sing the songs learned in the senior university vocal class a few times, review a few times, self-indulgence.
You can also put on travel shoes, wear a sun hat, go to the forest or ten miles of corridor hiking a time, deep inhalation of a few mouths full of negative ions of fresh air, or halfway up the mountain to appreciate the opposite mountains, foot gullies, distant fields of beautiful scenery. Or, set up your camera and turn on the time-lapse function of your cell phone to take pictures of the clouds rolling in and out, the blue sky and sunshine, and the evening sunset over the forest and sea for a few minutes. ......
In the evening, the neighborhood square began to boil. The neighborhood square was abuzz with activity, with people from all walks of life gathering to perform their own square dances, folk dances, Latin dances, and calisthenics. The children have skateboarding classes, host classes, air toys and other activities.
The square was filled with music, and the tweeters carried the music in all directions, reverberating through the valley.
Sumadang, has the most national character of lively.
If there are some people who do not like square dancing and aerobics, such as me and my neighbors, we will get together in groups and go for a walk in the surrounding mountains to watch the sunset, see the sunset gradually dispersed, blowing the wind in the mountains, enjoying the bright moon in the clouds, and chatting about the shortcomings of the parents, the interesting things around. In the end, the fun is over.
In Sumadang cool, just two or three months a year. But it brings people much more than cool, refreshing, pleasing to the eye, neighborly love, peaceful sunset, and full of happiness.
