The slow life of hometown treasure

In terms of natural jet lag, sunrise and sunset in Yunnan are naturally nearly an hour and a half slower than those in Beijing and Shanghai. in most areas, the hottest time of the day is not 12:00 but two or three o'clock in the afternoon. in the hot areas of Xishuangbanna and Honghe, the business premises often open at three o'clock in the afternoon, the waiters in the restaurants are not anxious, and even the people quarreling in the street are slow.

Accustomed to living a slow life in the sun, some people in Yunnan are unwilling to go out and work hard. They are often called "hometown treasures" and think that their hometown is the best. Some tourists can't get used to the leisure of Yunnan people, but some tourists love it very much. In northwest Yunnan, the style of some lazy celebrities with long residents is more free and easy than the old men who grow flowers, drink tea and bask in the sun in the courtyards of the Bai and Naxi ethnic groups.

The reasons for the slowness of Yunnan people

If we want to find out the cause of "slowness", we still have to go back to Yunnan's unique geographical and climatic factors. Due to the barrier of the mountains and the inconvenient transportation, many things are not in a hurry, so it is better to be slow.

Yunnan is rich in products, even in the dry season, there is no shortage of flowers, fruits and all kinds of food. The most ordinary working class can also bring home a handful of beautiful flowers after work, which is no greater burden than buying cabbages.

The "relatively slow" and "very slow" of Yunnan people

Slow, there is a difference between relatively slow and very slow. Mainlanders often think that the Dali people are extremely leisurely, but in Yunnan, Dali craftsmen and businessmen are almost the only small businessmen who can compete with the people of Sichuan and Zhejiang.

From the north to the cold but sunny Tibet, from the south to the rich subtropics, there are still small restaurants reminding you that the descendants of ancient Dian still grasp their economic territory. they use hard work and wonderful craftsmanship to provide convenience for tourists coming and going, earning not easy money, they are the faster existence of slow life in Yunnan.
