"Don't stay in a hotel. Come to my house and stay in a villa." This conversation is not a plot in a movie, but my real experience in the empty city of Haiyang. Haiyang, a once prosperous county-level city along the Shandong coast, has now become a “ghost city” with population loss and a surplus of sea-view housing. And I found a different way of life in this city.
Two years ago, I lived in Hai Duong for three months. At that time, although it was not as prosperous as a big city, it still had a unique charm. Two years later, when I set foot on this land again, it became even more deserted and desolate. There are few vehicles on the main road, which is free of epidemics and control, as if time has stood still here. But it was this empty city that gave me unexpected adventures.
In Haiyang, the most indispensable thing is houses, and the most indispensable thing is customers. So you can take your time here until you find a house at a low price that you're happy with. I have rented apartments, condominiums, and even lived in villas. Among them, the cheapest apartment-style residence only costs 600 yuan per month for a room with complete appliances and furniture; while the daily rental price for a two-story, three-bedroom apartment in the villa area is as low as 410 yuan per day, and the monthly rental price is more affordable. Such a price makes me, a wandering traveler, feel unprecedentedly relaxed and comfortable.
Living in Haiyang allowed me to experience unprecedented tranquility and freedom. I cook my own meals every day, and the balcony and bedroom all have sea views, and the countryside outside the corridor. This kind of life makes me feel relaxed and happy physically and mentally. Although inconveniences are inevitable in life, as long as there is the Internet, the sea and the wind, I feel like a free man, breaking out of the prison of life.
In addition to life in the city, I also had an in-depth experience of the gathering culture in the countryside of Hai Duong. There are meetings every day, and there are all kinds of things at the meetings. Although the journey is a bit long and I need to go to different villages to attend markets, this experience made me feel the vitality and vitality of the countryside. At the rally, I could taste authentic country food, buy fresh agricultural products, interact with local people, and learn about their lives and customs.
The experience of living in the empty city of Haiyang gave me a deep understanding of the diversity and possibilities of life. It made me realize that life does not necessarily have to pursue prosperity and hustle and bustle. Sometimes simplicity, tranquility and freedom are also rare happiness. In the days to come, I hope to continue to explore more such lifestyles to make my life more colorful.
At the same time, I also hope that the city of Haiyang can get out of its predicament as soon as possible and regain its vitality and vitality. After all, it has unique natural resources and unique geographical advantages. As long as it is properly utilized and developed, it will surely usher in a better future.
