A few close friends walking through the city streets has become popular among young people in China. It is called Citywalk. People would like to have a journey to walk around the city and explore its beauty.
Citywalk first appeared in London England to make tourists travel like locals. A group of people followed a guide, enjoyed the city’s streets, saw buildings up close, and got a deep understanding of the history and culture. At that time, Citywalk emphasized (強(qiáng)調(diào)) the importance of heartfelt feeling and a new understanding.
But in China, Citywalk emphasizes following the heart and moving at a slower speed. People do not need to have a good plan before they start walking. Unlike walking in the park or in their neighborhood, Citywalk includes discovering old buildings, visiting special shops, having a cup of coffee, trying local food and so on. People take photos, make videos and share their stories online. They tell others where they go and what they find.
In this fast?paced world, young people are always working hard and they have little time for local visit. Citywalk helps them have a warmer, more relaxing and slower?paced lifestyle. Whether it’s a busy market, a small shop in a small neighborhood, or a modern city street, they can all make them feel comfortable.
