Gather together some good friends and take a walk through the streets. This is what many young people in China enjoy doing when they visit a new city. To them, citywalk means “hanging around the city” on foot. They often explore old buildings or boutique shops(精品店), and enjoy a cup of coffee or local snacks.
Citywalk offers them a way to interact(互动) with a city. It also gives them a chance to meet new people. It can be a guided trip for a small group of people or simply a relaxing walk for one or two. They follow one rule: stay away from famous places and big crowds.

Do you have clothes that you don’t wear any more? 1 If your answers are yes, you’re not alone!
2 When our rooms are in a mess, we will find it difficult to feel comfortable. There is no doubt that owning too many things is bad for us, so we have to change.
Imagine a simple bedroom: a clean white floor, a comfortable bed, a wardrobe, and a desk with a chair. That’s all. This is the minimalist(极简主义者) style. Minimalists believe that they don’t need a lot of things to be happy.
