On earth, being single is a romance for one person | one day

"There are too many places to go with the one you love in your life"。

But in fact, there are many corners on this earth, and I would rather be alone when I go.

Those places can be quiet to the point of independence, or they can be bustling and noisy enough to dilute individuals. However, they have to have enough flavor for one person to savor carefully—you don’t need someone to help you take pictures and clock in. They only need to watch and listen alone. In solitude, they have to maximize their senses and mental acuity, and a personal magnetic field is formed.

In this small universe of complete freedom, everything around you is colorful asteroids. When you accept this setting, you can taste how addictive a person's romance is.

Today, we have saved a lot of places that are suitable for traveling alone and can enjoy their personal time. Let us open any door, visit this extraordinary day together, and feel the freedom of life in a free life。

9：00 Atago Nianbu Temple

There are a thousand little cuties to accompany you here

Although it is a "temple", the Atago Nenbu Temple in Saga, Kyoto is full of secular excitement and loveliness. It is most suitable for a person, especially a "layman", to have a daze there.

To say that the most special thing about this temple, apart from the hard to pronounce name, is the more than 1,200 arhats inside.

They were presided over by the monastery that presided over the statue carving project in the past, presided over the Xicun Gong dynasty, and invited and guided ordinary residents and believers to complete. It may be precisely because of this that these arhats are filled with the world's fireworks and playfulness, with different shapes, or bowing their heads to meditate, or laughing up to the sky, and trying to pretend to be cute, getting together, so lively.

But at the same time, under the action of time, each Lohan was covered with moss, dotted with the morning dew, laying a layer of tranquility for the noise. The temple is small and remote, almost at the end of Sagano, sparsely populated, you can enjoy its quiet and noisy with all your heart.

The key is that you won't feel lonely, after all, there are more than a thousand cuties with you.

12：00 Tokyo

In my impression, the small noodle shops in autumn and winter are a bit lively, with dim lights, full of soup, and people eating steamingly in twos and threes.

But if you just want to eat a hot noodle soup in peace, the kind that you don't even need to (pretend) warm greetings, then you need Ichiran.

Ichiran Ramen was first born as a one-person food, "just like a manger".

Make a long line first. After buying the voucher on the vending machine, the clerk will give you a list on which you can check the concentration of the soup, the amount of garlic, the softness of the noodles, etc. you want in detail. After you sit down Pass the meal ticket and list to the chef in front of the seat (only one pair of hands can be seen).

Since it is a "manger", every seat here is a completely isolated island, and there is no need to make eye contact between strangers. The busy chef behind the bar will pull the bamboo curtain down immediately after the food is served, and everyone will breathe a sigh of relief-unless you have to add more dishes.

However, occasionally I go with my friends. It is also what I often do to temporarily disassemble the partition in the middle. In this kind of artificial confinement, accompanied by a plate of almond tofu, chatting about some gossips. And thoughts.

14：00 Houston Roscoe Chapel

Walking into the Roscoe Chapel on a golden sunny afternoon, almost with a pilgrimage mentality. There are 14 Roscoe paintings hung in a small space, all of which are almost integrated black planes formed by purple, blue and cyan. But when you are here, the hot weather in Houston can't bother you, and you will feel unprecedented peace.

But I feel a bit guilty of this calm. If you have some knowledge of art history, you will know that Rothko's life is full of tragedy. The paintings in the Roscoe Chapel were all made by him in his later years and were the last cry of his lonely soul. Therefore, it is immoral to talk and laugh with people in front of his works.

Looking at the works of Roscoe Chapel alone, you will slowly capture the most subtle feelings in your heart and begin an unexpected journey of meditation. Every time I go to Roscoe church alone, only in this way can I understand the ineffable meaning of Roscoe hidden in the paintings.

14：00 Tokyo Yaguchi Bookstore

Brick buildings, street corners, and big winds, when passing by this Tokyo famous bookstore, which is favored by many photographers, it is hard not to be attracted by it.

Yaguchi Bookstore was founded in 1918 (Taisho 7th year). It has been standing on the corner of Jimbocho for more than a hundred years. It has witnessed the prosperity, decline and tranquility of Japan since the 20th century. As an ancient bookstore specializing in films, dramas, and performing arts and dramas, Yaguchi Bookstore itself is like a scene from a movie lens, cordial and solemn, with unchanging calmness and properness.

There are some very rare rare books in the store, not only related to movies and dramas, but also isolated manga or complete works of literature (many of them are out of print or first edition), and even used entertainment lace news magazines, line books, and many other related Edo customs Interesting groceries such as brochures, movie posters, bill stubs, etc. can all be found in any corner of this small shop.

It is more like a treasure trove of eccentric collectors than a bookstore. Being in the voluminous books and the clutter of history, perceiving the centuries of time, will be simultaneously engulfed by feelings of satisfaction and emptiness.

In time, we are just passing by in a hurry. What matters is not being single?

15：00 beijing Jingshan Front Street

There are many streets where you can go shopping in Beijing, but Jingshan Front Street gives me the unique feeling.

Passing by the Red Building of Peking University, which is full of May 4th style, the towering corner of the Forbidden City reveals its true appearance after the passing of the modern tram. At this time, it has been strolling along the Tongzi River that has guarded it for hundreds of years, watching tourists from all over the world and listening. The sound of the horn of "Don't sign up for a liar travel agency" was played loudly, and a wonderful sense of mixing came over.

After squeezing through the narrow Wenjin Street, the scenery displayed by the wide water surface of Shichahai instantly widens the view, and you can see the white tower of Beihai Park against the blue sky.

If you feel hungry at this time, then continue to walk forward, there are many traditional food shops waiting for you in Fuyou Street and Xi'anmen Street. Think the soy sauce and braised taste are too strong? Sheep Xiezi hot pot is always ok.

After eating, take a walk along the way back. If you are lucky enough to catch a rare rainy day in Beijing, you must climb to Jingshan Park in the evening. Overlooking the open scenery of the overlapping ancient and modern buildings in Beijing and the magnificent sunset red clouds, it seems that one person is not so alone.
