1 hour and 50 minutes. Just this number.
There was a time when I slept in the car and finished watching a movie, but still couldn't reach my destination. What now? Before the cup of coffee had completely cooled down, the scene outside the window changed. What was originally the glass curtain wall of Lujiazui had now been replaced by the water network of the Lixia River.
Too fast. It's almost unreal.
It's really fast.
There is a Taizhou Road in Jing'an, Shanghai. There is also a Jing'an Road hidden in the city of Taizhou. This city seems to be playing a mirror-image game with you, just like an old acquaintance whispering in your ear: Be safe and sound.
Shanghainese, how long has it been since you "slowed down"?
I'm thinking.
The wind on the Bund is so urgent, and the footsteps on Nanjing Road are in a hurry. However, at the other end of the high-speed rail, the water in the Fengcheng River flows slowly.
Slow down enough that you can spend an entire morning doing just one thing: eating.
## Taizhou morning tea, why do Shanghainese get up early?
Don’t laugh. In Shanghai, getting up early is to avoid being late. In Taizhou, getting up early is just to keep yourself in trouble.
There are many people in Haitangchun on the old street. It is not the kind of crowded scene when you go to check in at an Internet celebrity store, but the kind of "crowding" caused by a local man carrying a birdcage and the whole family sitting around a table. The thinness of the dried shreds is a test of knife skills; the whiteness of the fish soup noodles is obtained by continuous boiling overnight; as for the crab roe soup dumplings, you need to carefully follow the method of "lifting them gently, moving them slowly, opening the window first, and then drinking the soup".
Take one bite, it's so fresh.
Suddenly I understood why Marco Polo said more than seven hundred years ago that this city is not huge, but there are many kinds of happiness in this world.
In fact, Hutai has been "connected" for a long time
Not just high-speed rail.
About four hundred years ago, Xu Guangqi, a scientist in the Ming Dynasty, brought the "Taizhou School" to Songjiang Prefecture. A hundred years ago, our Taizhou master Mei Lanfang became famous after singing at the "Dangui No. 1" in Shanghai, leaving the streets empty.
Not to mention now.
More than 40% of Taizhou's agricultural products enter Shanghai's vegetable market. Every year, more than 5 million people from Shanghai go to Taizhou to relax.
Some people say this is the "back garden of the Yangtze River Delta". I don't think it's right.
## Back garden? No, it's another home
The back garden needs to be taken care of, and that's polite. But home is not.
In Taizhou, you can go out for a walk in your slippers, spend an entire afternoon on the bank of Qin Lake, and admire thousands of cauliflowers in their ultimate glory. Spend 40 minutes watching the Yangtze River and spend 1 hour in the Lizhong Water Forest. No one is pushing you.
This kind of "slowness" is not laziness. It is a kind of confidence in life.
## They made Peking Opera their daily life
What I am most convinced of is this matter.
In Taizhou, the Peking Opera Plum Style is not just a poster hanging on the wall. It is hidden in the pavilions and pavilions of the Mei Lanfang Memorial Hall, in the opera performance that shows "a hundred plum blossoms blooming", and in the voice of "The Drunken Concubine" that floats out when you pass by a certain small theater.
"Listen to the commentary after dinner and enjoy the entertainment at night."
They live culture into aesthetics that they use every day without realizing it. In this regard, Taizhou has something special.
Some changes are happening
This time I went and found something different.
## Drinking morning tea in the garden? Who came up with this?
A long time ago, it was the form of "cruise boat with morning tea", enjoyed leisurely on the Fengcheng River. Now it has become more distinctive and has become a combination of "garden and morning tea". There are green bricks, dark tiles, small bridges and flowing water. There is a cage of soup dumplings in front of you. On the painted boat in the distance, there is actually a beautiful woman playing the piano.
What is this thing called? This is called "living life into poetry".
And there are old streets like Tokachi Street and Hanxi Street, which have been restored to look like the old ones. When you enter them and look around, all you can see are cultural and creative shops and cafes opened by young people. Next to the ancient well is a very trendy dessert shop, showing a state that is not inconsistent at all.
The Jingjiang area is full of harshness. Create a Yangtze River Culture Living Room, and as soon as you step in, you will see a "digital waterfall" plummeting from the sixth floor. Use technology to talk about the Yangtze River and use bonsai to create a "three-dimensional painting". The landscape bonsai in the Western Suburbs Bonsai Garden hides the wonderful peaks of Huashan Mountain and the magnificent scenery of the Three Gorges in a small space.
Have fun.
to the end
The future is coming soon. The North Yanjiang High-speed Railway is connected and can be reached directly in one hour.
At that time, the "half-day work circle" was true, and the "one-day life circle" was also true. Have a meeting in Shanghai in the morning, taste crab roe soup dumplings in Taizhou at noon, and enjoy the wind and lanterns at Fengcheng River at night.
But I think what really makes Taizhou stand up is not speed.
## Taizhou Taimei, where is the beauty?
The beauty is that it gives the prosperity of the Yangtze River Delta a breathing space.
The beauty lies in Mei Lanfang's sleeves that have been floating for a hundred years and are still in the daily lives of ordinary people.
The beauty that lets you know is that happiness can indeed be extremely numerous. No need to wait, no need to pursue, this kind of happiness is hidden at the terminus of tomorrow's high-speed train.
Taizhou Taimei.
Tai wants you to come.
Waiting for you to come and slowly taste all the happiness in this world one by one.
