Why does life feel more and more like a besieged city as we grow up?

As children, we always wanted to grow up quickly, thinking that adulthood would bring boundless freedom; but when we truly stepped into society, we found that our days were trapped by rules and regulations, like a squeezed sponge, even our emotions dried up. So, I decided to escape for a while, to give myself some breathing room. This time, I came to Yangshuo - a small town that seems to have stepped out of a painting. 🏞 Why Yangshuo? If there really is a "Xanadu" in the world, it's probably here. The Li River in the early morning is shrouded in mist, green hills are reflected in the water, bamboo rafts drift slowly, and the water is undisturbed. Sunlight sprinkles on the fields, smoke curls up in the distance, as if I had wandered into a slow-motion dream. 🌿 Steal a Day of Freedom Amidst the Mountains and Rivers 🌅 Morning Boat Ride｜Take a bamboo raft down the Li River, watch the morning light fill the river, so quiet you can hear your heartbeat. 🚲 Afternoon Cycling｜Cycle along the Yulong River, sunlight dappled through the trees, the wind filled with the scent of rice paddies. 🌆 Nightfall｜West Street is brightly lit, bustling yet gentle, walk into any bar and listen to a folk song. 👗 Preparation Before Departure Clothing Suggestions｜Light-colored cotton and linen dresses, retro shirts, loose and lazy, like a hermit among the mountains and rivers. Sleep Aid｜No matter how beautiful the scenery, the night needs tranquility.
