In the annual ranking of China’s “laziest cities”, Lijiang in Yunnan is always at the top of the list. In this “laziest” city in China, you can sit in the yard and hug cats, dogs in the sun every day, or sit in a small shop on the side of the road and listen to the rhythmic beat of a tambourine, watching the snow-capped mountains in the distance. Breathing the fresh air, or just walking aimlessly on the streets paved with cyan flagstones, watching the grandmas of Naxi nationality jumping on Sifang Street.
With the increasingly fierce social competition and the faster and faster pace of life, the birth of the “996” family has left many people out of breath. Many post-90s have begun to “fat” because of “overworked fat” and their weight is increasing rapidly. Not to mention slow life, even the normal pace of life has become a luxury for people, and slow life has become a desire of many people.
Slow life in Lijiang is an attitude to life, not slowness in speed, it is a return to nature. In the ancient city Lijiang, it is like a smart landscape painting displayed in front of you. The ancient city has both a mountain town and a unique charm of a water town. You can take a look at all the scenery in the city and see the scattered houses, every small alley, cyan flagstones road, flowers and birds, and wooden bridges, which make the ancient city exude unique charm.
Lijiang preserved pork ribs hotpot, Chickpeas Bean Jelly (Ji Dou Liang Fen), stir-fry rice-flour cake (Er Kuai), Cured Pork Leg, traditional Naxi Candied fruit etc. The name of each delicacy is mouth-watering, and it will be endless after eating it once. The people here eat slowly, slowly tasting the various flavors that burst out on the tip of the tongue.
Lijiang is picturesque all year round, but Lijiang’s spring is even more charming. The colorful cherry blossoms reveal a strong spring flavor, reflecting the holy snow mountains in the distance, and the beauty is immersed in it. The warm wind of March blew in gusts, a little pink fluttered in the wind, and a light fragrance filled the air. The snow mountains are in front, and the cherry blossoms are beside them. The blue sky is above, with the white clouds, the world is beautiful, nothing more than this.
Lijiang has been labeled with various labels, but the slow life has always been the attitude of people here who take life seriously. People always get up late in the morning, and many small shops only open in the afternoon. Even the cats, dogs lived here are the lazy ones, they lying on the cyan flagstones road all day, or in the courtyard of the homestay, greedily enjoying the warm sunlight.
