Mainlanders look at Taiwan: coffee drinking March

Chinanews.com, Oct. 19-Taiwan's "Wang Bao" today published an article entitled "mainlanders look at Taiwan's drinking March." the author is from Hong Kong. By comparing cafes in Hong Kong and Taipei, the author laments the serenity and leisure of life in Taipei. While appreciating the tea culture, he also points out that Taipei is a "pure land" where traditional culture is preserved.

The full text is summarized as follows:

Starbucks and Pacific Coffee shops are probably the most popular in Hong Kong, where you can also meet friends, do business, drink coffee, flip through your magazines or books, track the stock market with your computer or ipad, and browse world events. However, compared with the coffee shop or teahouse in Taipei, there is a lack of humanistic, elegant, quiet and leisurely atmosphere.

With my friends in Taipei, I have visited many places suitable for sitting down for a leisurely afternoon tea or spending an evening in a teahouse (coffee shop). Under the dim light, in the hidden corner, on the comfortable seat, drink a cup of tea (coffee), quietly listen to the murmur of friends, talk about the sweetness and bitterness of life, gently sigh the confusion of work, slowly sort out the thoughts in your heart, and slowly outline the vision of the future. As we drink and talk more and more, we forget the world outside the window. We pour out our secrets, our longing for the future, our wishes for life, and all the words we want to say, and share with our friends the fragrance of tea in the air. The heart is full of freedom, the relief of bosom friends, "the geometry of life, the satisfaction and relaxation of Chadang Song". Forget the time, forget the wind and rain outside, forget the troubles and resentments of a minute ago, just need a pot of good tea to accompany.

Many times as soon as dinner was over, the friend immediately continued to say, "Let's go for tea." So I couldn't bear it as I wanted to break up, and everyone who was still having fun found a teahouse (coffee shop) to sit in and continue our "drinking march" until they closed. I wonder if there are teahouses open all night in Taipei? No one's taken me there anyway. Such a place fascinates me. To tell you the truth, it is not necessarily that its tea is better than that of Hong Kong, and that its coffee is purer than that of Hong Kong, but that it is free and leisurely in the air and makes people calm down and whisper. The charm of life is tasted in elegance and elegance.

This kind of atmosphere can be felt not only at that time, but also in the distant future. And what kind of smell is accumulated by culture? When friends talk about this, some people always sigh: God really has eyes, so that traditional culture will not be completely destroyed, and a pure land has been preserved.
