Chengdu, really lovely do so?
--- Zodiac
Almost all people who have been to Chengdu, will be impressed at the city's leisure and exclusivity. Teahouse, mahjong, cleaning shoes, Taoer Duo, selling Douhua, the Longmen Zhen, Sichuan opera face changing, hotpot, Fuqi feipian, smoked tea duck, the old streets of the old house ...... eat, drink so to maximize the spread to the city every pore, and a very harmonious waves around in your life, the "leisure city" nickname also spread naturally open to. Chengdu is a casual city, with the media was willing to play to the gallery like some of ink rather be named "the fourth city."
Chengdu, really lovely do so?
I live in Chengdu, as a stranger, and far away 6000 years came to this land of abundance has been set more than two, "cute" but the shadow still exists in my future share of reverie in the preceding. As a city, naturally have its own characteristics, so when the streets of Beijing, Changchun, London plane trees planted on the road will be replaced with poplar cypress pines, there are writers loudly exclaimed "City disappeared." Compared with the above two places, Chengdu and apparently did not "disappear" 2000 years of history to be intact, so far benefit from both sides lie in the basin northwest of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Qinling mountains, but they are these two big mountains, but also have Chengdu common with the outside world cut off the air. In the cultural continuity and thinking behind the concept, it appeared difficult to find a balance point of entry, as if the ancient city of Suzhou people placed in front of the toilet, it was considered to be history and culture, some people said that holding tourism point of view to locate in Suzhou and let the It still will be put on the street, the toilet in the "show" backward.
Chengdu is such a city. When the outside world in a vigorous manner, when the economic recovery, more and more people began to work to earn a selfless selfless tickets, but there is still no peace of mind through non-fire blast. It is said that before the reform and opening up, even the local officials to "out of Sichuan" is a look of blank, Bashu earth, "I am this is the best place" --- the notion that even today is still rooted in the large number of people hearts. As for other cities to local economic development to launch incentive measures, to Chengdu, the size of the organs of things still are "having difficulty in getting," "ugly face." My colleague once told me that morning to find the best local authorities act
10:00 to 10:30 between the go, or else not to work is yet to enter the state of the afternoon, it is deserted even more difficult to get. The efficiency of such a style of acting so I do not know is also a legacy of two thousand years of history, by their thinking of something else or some other fruit. Closed form geographical environment of the closed thinking, closed thinking, in turn, closed with a full range of humanities, geography and investment environment.
Long habit of "respite", brings all kinds of things people "participation" of enthusiasm high.
It is a bustling city of love, all kinds of farm music, holiday villages around the city flooded, not the advanced productive forces that have a very strong desire for consumption, so you'll see one another quite a grade scale The manor-style buildings around the various cities around the side of the road, on holidays Mahjong voice almost to engulf the entire city.
The popularity of Mahjong is definitely a major feature of Chengdu, there is a joke like this interpretation: a stranger the first time a plane to Chengdu, in the plane with air hostesses are always asking "how not to ah", then the other field who told him that when you hear the sound of the following when coming Mahjong in Chengdu to go. I still have a home in the local colleagues,
Her family's neighbors laid off, but that does not worry Jian Zhao, fitting-out of the house a few days, other people asked how would he find the money, he flatly said one simple sentence, "mahjong win." Colleagues to marvel at, and we naturally can not be easy to understand this experience. In addition to Mahjong, there are other content the broad participation of civil society, such as the now popular lottery, such as a variety of Western Exotic "Western Day" sought after, such as an exhibition regardless of Hong Kong businessmen to accept only the original intention to hold trade talks in the Hall desperately required within the "strong buy" crazy.
Compared with the private sector leisure, there is an industry in Chengdu, a city Queshi Bi any other competition, must be much more cruel, and that is the news media industry. It's hard to believe that this is a city in the western basin, but it has a size of more than a dozen newspapers, television stations more than a dozen strong and weak cries of the people to kill each other. In fact, the reason is very simple, because leisure, so read newspapers and watch television much larger proportion of the audience. Here, whether it is riding a tricycle or cleaning shoes, and
Idle time as long as they are likely to come up with a newspaper to read with relish. There is reason to press the prosperity of the television industry not surprising. The era of speculation in the popular Sichuan people's standards are excellent, but high-quality human resources are relatively scarce Jinghu Sui, pure speculation, or take the concept of a mosquito-fry dish examples to occur.
Two strong newspapers, the same news event, it may be expressed in the newspapers, when two very different viewpoints, and then blame each other is the text of the Big Dipper, Culture and attack, readers can see Youziyouwei, newspapers will be sold very impressive.
Chengdu said people are very particular about service, there are throughout the country "Sichuan ladies," as evidence. But perhaps confined to the "Miss" so the line. Students to come here last summer, a marriage tourism, I'll take them to the famous "Chengdu snacks City", unfortunately, a famous snack service but Taishishuizhun let me disgrace in front of their classmates face. The students love the city like the snacks on the promenade near the rockery in the spring seat, but it was a guest at the dinner, so we said it would wait for them to finish eating and then a la carte seating. Which material would be likely to bring an attendant was about to give us utensils, turned supercilious said after countless "love to eat do not eat." Students naturally unwilling to be patient, theory, after a few rounds out of a manager, look like people, threatened to "My name is Chen, you can easily where to go sue me" and so on. I am really surprised at such a rude and the services, especially for foreigners, the majority of diners as the famous "city of Chengdu snacks."
Chengdu taxi should be the most profitable, of course, those who may be the owner to make money, perhaps the industry authorities.
I have been very worried about here, take a taxi to a few pockets of that silver is really there is a two unsustainable "jump" in the meter pressure, and second, unable to cope with the car, "the radio" noise. Taxis here are the cities I have visited the image of one of the worst, dilapidated taxi Alto and Xiali dominate the market, met a quick end of life but also feeling Xilihuala friction sound. But the price is hardly cheap, 5 yuan price of 1 km from the foundation to begin dancing words, when you and the driver talking about the prices they will usually say, "Beijing Shanghai Chengdu, more expensive than the more thiophene," but they stop talking not to mention the lives of local residents Beijing Shanghai and Chengdu income levels a huge difference. Heard of a taxi station was built for safety sake, but also in order to contact each other easily.
But when you are sitting in the car listening to the River Jiliguala even if vulgar joke, it is difficult to imagine what it would be a feeling.
Chengdu really cute do?
A lovely place or not, the most important thing is the human factor. Today, the general lack of trust, similar to Shi Yuzhu pay back the money it is very few examples, Chengdu is no exception. I was surprised, and yes it was hard to see here, then shut down Peach Liu as lofty sentiments among people, history and traditions is not only that took place here mutations? Always remember when you first came to the West travel to Chongqing, a local taxi driver that I am from the north of Chengdu when the smoke of that phrase - "Chengdu people fake it ah." Almost two years, this phrase in my life and work a little bit at a time when the authentication. I always thought that with the bold and shrewd businessman, there is no contradiction, business, and while others say that people, personal relationships with commercial interests, are entirely separate, but in Chengdu, which seems impossible . In addition to merchants, the other is true, everyone seems reluctant to pay anything for others, but always thinking of doing everything possible to get more. "Eternal interests" under the naturally there can be no "sincere friend", which is perhaps the most in Chengdu and the "international standards" in the local bar.
Time, such as the gurgling water, so quiet and calm days in the living. Those who go out from Chengdu remembered with everything here, and life here, locals are also calmly accept the everything here. Maybe a few years later, I would play in another city, Chengdu miss the days missed from the old relaxed in this beautiful Southwestern city, but now, at least now, I really do not see what she was lovely to .
