There is only one reason for this trip to Yunfu: this small city in the mountains of western Guangdong is very ? mysterious? and I was curious.
Based solely on the fact that it was so tightly guarded during the outbreak, with ? s record is enough to make this city? And being affiliated with a? a prefecture-level city in the super-province of Guangdong. Guangdong. It's something to be proud of.
Yunfu first impression
To be honest, before I traveled to Yunfu, I looked up information on the Internet, and also saw the local people's comments on their hometowns (and dissatisfaction), and I was even ready to see a piece of the poor nooks and crannies, poor ravines and ravines. But when I really stood on this land, I realized that there was a big error between my original guess and the reality in front of me. Yunfu is a very livable and pretty little town, full of green.
There are very few outsiders here, and everyone speaks Cantonese and vernacular. Northern accent? is something relatively rare; Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Zhuhai, Macau, Foshan, Zhaoqing? surrounded by a water are densely populated big cities, and Yunfu's resident population is less than the household population; young people have gone out to make a living, there are a lot of simply settled in the first and second-tier cities not far from home, in addition to the 420,000 overseas Chinese, overseas Chinese all over the world.
Looking back at similar small towns I've visited, there's only one other? Qingtian County in Lishui, Zhejiang province, the stone capital, has seen such a ? the situation? : Hundreds of thousands of overseas Chinese are drifting overseas for one reason: to get out of the mountains, do good business, fill their bellies and revitalize their ancestral land. From the poor data, Yunfu outflow of population and talent, a rough estimate of about 500,000 people. But as a netizen said: in terms of human kindness and upbringing, Yunfu is not inferior to big cities. The other day I passed an intersection, saw a young mother with four or five years old, carrying a small schoolbag little daughter on the side of the road waiting for the traffic light, there is no car on the road, sneak past also no harm, but they are always hand in hand to stand in place, until the green light;
I go? The first thing I did was to go to a restaurant and eat some ravioli. to eat wontons, saw sitting opposite the grandfather eating free small pickles, I asked him, this where to take ah? He could understand my Mandarin, but couldn't express himself clearly, so he simply stood up and was going to go fetch a plate for me. In Nanshan Forest Park, a young father was playing with two boys on the lake, and the father told the naughty boy: the grass is so clean, you don't want to throw the garbage in your hand? At least in my eyes, Yunfu is clean.
The air here is too good to be true. I took a few shots of the evening sun, and I didn't even have to retouch the pictures, it was that pink.
Even after dark, the whole city is still translucent, standing on the terrace, through a little light, you can see the far side of the mountain side. Although it is a mountainous area, the transportation is very convenient. You see, the cityscape of Yunfu in the picture, is not to lose ah.
I think with all my heart: Yunfu, very good.
Life in Yunfu
I spent more than a week in Yunfu, walking through many streets in the main city.
The city is so small, just a few kilometers from one end to the other, that you can make a measured trip just by relying on your feet. To describe other mountain towns, you can use ? The city is surrounded by mountains on all sides. But Yunfu is even better, it belongs to the kind of city that is surrounded by mountains. It belongs to the kind of city that builds in the cracks of the mountains. It's one of those cities where you have to find a place to build a house, and many of the houses are crammed together with the mountains. It's the lowest priced prefecture-level city I've ever seen, with affordable prices for everything and everything in between, and a slow pace of life.
Here, a bowl of old-fashioned wontons with thick meat and thin skin with cut noodles will only cost you more than 10 yuan for a full meal; a bowl of ancestral crafted double-skinned milk will only cost you less than 10 yuan, which is even better than the one I ate in Shunde; a high-rise downtown balcony Loft apartment, the average one-day stay is 150 yuan, and the little girl at the reception desk said it will only cost you 2,200 yuan if you rent it from one month onwards? You should know that such a price in the same location in Shenzhen city center, can only be rented to the village house, or public restrooms; a lot of stores here are called ?XX aunt? ,?Uncle XX?
Tracing his steps back to the owner, he said: "We don't have an ? Auntie? But such a name will sell better in Yunfu, the principle is the same as those old stores in Hong Kong? You see, Yunfu people are not not going to do business, but also quite a brain. In my feeling, Yunfu is not closed, but it is a mind? Close the door to live their own lives?
Yunfu slow life
Yunfu this small city is actually quite? Because it is a city in Guangdong, it is not a city in China. It is a city in Guangdong.
After all, it is a large GDP and population province, and this ? hind legs? that it doesn't smell good. But in fact, if you arrange Yunfu in other provinces, it really is an excellent habitat. The people I met along the way in Yunfu were warm and gentle, and their passion for life was more than their love of work.
The people here, who live in peace, don't seem very happy. The service industry is uniformly more passive, and it seems that people are less interested in working and more interested in having fun? fishing, playing chess, walking the kids, ? Pressing? The river? The city of Yunfu is undoubtedly a great place to retire for someone who doesn't have any big ambitions and just wants to live a good life, or who has ambitions but no energy left to fulfill them. In Guangdong, such a prefecture-level city can no longer be found. Yunfu is mountainous, rich in produce, anyway, food and drink is not worried, in the premise of food and clothing is not a problem, happy, comfortable, healthy, calm life, quite good.
So Yunfu is perfectly capable of creating a resort-style ? slow? concept, advertising words I have helped to think of? The first time I've ever seen the world, I've seen the world, I've seen the world, I've seen the world. The only thing you'll find in Guangdong is the country's "unparalleled" slow life. The slow life.
