Change the city, change the mood.
Ningbo hang
Sometimes I stay in one city for a long time and want to change to another city. Why did you choose Ningbo? I have to admit that it is because my classmates and friends are here. I want to take a walk in the street where the ta people walked. Change the city and mood.
For two and a half days, a person, a backpack and a camera walked on the streets of Ningbo without any burden. Feel everything in this city with a pure and curious heart. I like walking alone in a strange street. No one knows me. I feel lonely.
Stay in a youth hostel. The boss is also very personal: a little bald head and a guitar, playing and singing in front of the store in the face of the endless path.
It all started from Nantang Old Street. Wandering leisurely in the street, picking up the camera, patting the sky and the small streets, stopping in front of Ningbo's special snacks and listening to Ningbo's old aunts talking about Ningbo's old history and small specialties. ......
Unconsciously, I remembered the scene when I walked with my father in Hangzhou that year. Although it is a little less heavy in history, it is very quiet. Here, you will have to slow down your pace and clear your brain. Walking here, you won't feel that walking on the pedestrian street of Nanjing East Road is so commercialized ..... only the feeling of "old Ningbo" precipitated by history.
A person strolls to the old Bund, and a person stands quietly by the bridge, waiting for the afterglow to spill over the lake, the breeze blowing over his cheeks, and pressing the shutter at will. Very, very happy.
Later, in that strange street, I met two girls from Ningda. Invited me to take pictures of them. Sunset, flowing water, long bridge, two girls. "Click", a year, a month, a day. Youth impression.
The old Bund in Ningbo is full of petty bourgeoisie. Compared with the colorful Shanghai Bund, you can find what you want here. The surrounding Gothic buildings really make people feel brilliant. Bar street, colorful, people have to say: "Hey, I have a story, do you have any wine?"
With the evening breeze blowing, I leaned against the bridge quietly and photographed the rhythm of the city's light and shadow.
The best way to feel a city is to go to its museum.
I went to Yinzhou District early the next morning. "Yinzhou, Yinzhou." Two familiar words. I've heard it many times at my friends' place.
You can feel the designer's uniqueness outside Ningbo Museum. Three-dimensional buildings, brick-colored walls, stand tall and walk freely. I don't feel monotonous at all, but I feel magnificent. The river and pebbles at the door have a sense of sight of Qin king Palace in historical plays.
It has three floors. Maybe it's not as high as the Shanghai World Expo, but it's very distinctive. Especially about the history of Ningbo, and dialect customs and culture, I will secretly marvel: the original cultural heritage of Ningbo is so long and profound.
Then I also reflected a little. The prosperity of a city does not come out of thin air. It is the joint efforts of several generations or even dozens of generations. Just like in life, nothing is casual.
Another building that has to be mentioned is Tianyi Pavilion. I have heard this story in textbooks for a long time. Several generations have insisted on reading. "Generations are not divided into books." I don't know what gave them firm belief. Sometimes I have to say that the persistence of the ancients is really admirable.
Some people may say: "rigid" and "stupid". "Can books be eaten for free?" But I think it is precisely because they have done what no one can do, regardless of many secular standards, and insisted on what they think should be adhered to. It really makes people appreciate it a little more.
We often comment on a person who says that "there is poetry in his stomach", while the Tianyi Pavilion Museum is similar to a private garden or mansion, but I don't know if it is a bit heavy because of its collection of books.
One day, Teacher Yang said with a smile, Will we meet again after many years? She will see the luxury and atmosphere of Shanghai from me, and I will catch a glimpse of the gentleness of Hangzhou from her. I smiled and said nothing, but we all know that the environment will affect a person.
Every city has its own unique characteristics.
Beijing is as heavy as Beijing; Shanghai has the prosperity of Shanghai; Hangzhou has the elegance of Hangzhou; Xiamen has the romance of Xiamen; Ningbo also has the tranquility of Ningbo.
One city, one culture, several generations.
Finally, leave some small memories.
Gradually, I found myself with a problem, that is, I was too nostalgic and emotional. Because I always encourage myself to leave something warm in my memory.
Actually, I asked John Kim and Zhang Xiaoyu before I planned to come to Ningbo. Knowing that they are not here, I just want to go alone. But in Ningbo and Zhejiang, because of some small details, I still feel a little warm.
For example, John Kim recommended me a place to live early.
For example, when I arrived at the hotel that day, the monitor sent me a message at noon saying that he didn't know I was in Ningbo, or he took me out to play, and then recommended me many good places. The monitor was not so enthusiastic about me when he was studying, and he was a little flattered ... hee hee ~
For example, the first night, I asked Xiao Zhang to come out to play the next day. I said it's been a long time, and I miss him a little. Then his dormitory lights out, and he talked with me for a long time. 10 years of love, before and after junior high school, I was always asked English questions. In senior high school, asking him about science became my problem. He also said that I became beautiful. What should I do if I spit out my own level 4? Ha ha ha ha ~ I laugh every time I see it. He also told me to go to their school and eat casually. I said that your university hasn't changed, and this guy confidently said that he will always be that person, and he hasn't changed at all. Haha ~
For example, on the last night, Zhang Xiaoyu came back from Shaoxing, and I always regretted not treating me well when I came. What about this little girl?
In fact, for Ningbo, I am just a strange city, but it is precisely because of such a lovely guy that I feel that Ningbo is so warm.
People often say, what is the meaning of travel, poetry and distance?
I feel like a sentimental person, just like Teacher Yang said, but I never feel that traveling is for poetry and distance. And where there is poetry, where there is distance, it is just a "small flower" in the eyes of literati. If there is, it is in the heart, in everyone's own heart.
For me, traveling is very simple, sometimes it's just a change of city and mood. After you come back, continue to live a good life.
