In Pingshan, Shenzhen, I found the right way to escape the city for 48 hours

After finishing my last shift, when I navigated to "Pingshan," a message popped up on my phone: "You have entered the slow breathing zone." It turns out that in a corner of bustling Shenzhen, there is still such an old Hakka house that has been gently treated by the years. Between the blue bricks and black tiles, every stone and every tile tells the story of the past. Living in the hometown that has left the city allows the heart to return to peace. Nearby surprises|A 3 km slow-walking circle hides another Shenzhen According to the "Pingshan Roaming Algorithm" given by the butler, I unlocked the B side of the city: → A century-old Hakka walled village, 823 steps away, with the secret of the Hakka people's southward migration embedded in the seams of the blue brick walls → A wild art gallery discovered in 12 minutes by bike, with retired containers exhibiting the urban villages in the eyes of post-00s artists → Pingshan Library, a 10-minute ride on the B&B's exclusive shuttle bus, where even the sound of turning pages under the water-patterned dome is poetic It was then that I realized that beyond Shenzhen's speed myth, there is such a rich "slow variable."
