Beijing CityWalk: Nanluoguxiang, a summer stroll filled with art and literature. In the summer of Beijing, the sun showers the ancient alleys, and I, accompanied by the Nikon Z6 II + 24-200mm lens, embarked on a CityWalk named 'Nanluoguxiang'. This alley is brimming with artistic flair, as if each step taken is a beautiful poem coming to life. Nanluoguxiang is different from the hustle and bustle of its southern counterpart; it is more serene and profound. With its bluestone pavements, grey brick walls, and quaint Siheyuan courtyards, every corner exudes the charm of history. In the summer afternoon, the sunlight slants, casting mottled tree shadows on the walls, adding a touch of mystery and romance to the alley. Holding the Nikon Z6 II + 24-200mm, I gently press the shutter, capturing the beauty of each moment. Through the lens, there are children playing in the alley, elderly people leisurely rocking their palm-leaf fans at the doorways, and youths holding coffee, immersed in the world of books. These scenes have become the most precious memories of this summer. Happiness is the most profound experience of this CityWalk. It doesn't require any cost, just a heart that is good at discovering beauty. Whether in work or life, we should maintain an optimistic attitude and fully enjoy the beauty of each moment. Life is a wilderness, not a track; we should not be confined to a set path but should bravely pursue our dreams and passions. My artistic stroll through Nanluoguxiang has reinforced this belief. Here, I found the coolness and tranquility of summer, as well as the freedom and happiness deep within my heart. I hope everyone who passes through here can feel this beauty, letting happiness become the underlying tone of our lives.
