It's actually from Zhongshan 🥹Art Born in Ruins

#Zhongshan Attractions Zhongshan always gives people surprises inadvertently. This "deserted cafe" that I accidentally stepped into is like a hidden treasure, hiding a breathtaking view. When I first arrived at the place, I saw a ruined scene with a sense of wilderness, broken walls and jagged rocks. I was wondering, but when I turned a corner, I was amazed. I saw the vigorous banyan tree roots lying across the sky like giant pythons. They stretched out freely, shuttling between bricks and stones, as if telling the vicissitudes of time. The swaying shadows of the trees pour down through the gaps between the branches and leaves, drawing mottled light and shadow patterns on the ground, like a natural oil painting. I thought that desolation meant death, but unexpectedly, art is flourishing here. Who are those talented artists who gave new life to this ruin with their ingenuity and skill? Relying on the gift of nature, they did not make too many carvings, but only added a little embellishment to make the originally deserted place glow with a charming chill feeling. Sit down here, holding a cup of fragrant coffee in your hand, and look up to see the perfect fusion of nature and man-made creations, and hear the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the branches, as if you are isolated from the hustle and bustle of the world. In this "desolation", what we savor carefully are the "fine chaff" of life, and we feel the tenacious burst of vitality. Our body and mind are comforted, and we can't help but sigh: beauty can really rise from the ruins. Such a secret place in Zhongshan is worth visiting again and again.
