Features: Cities are like people, each with their own personality. Some are rugged, some are elegant, some are bold, and some are warm. For example, Beijing is "vast and mellow," Shanghai is "open and refined," Guangzhou is "vivid and lively," Xiamen is "beautiful and warm," Chengdu is "leisurely and unrestrained," and Wuhan is "bold and straightforward." City culture is often seen as a topic that anyone can chime in on, just like how everyone can comment after watching a movie. Chinese cities are incredibly readable, and there are so many readable cities in China! If you have the opportunity, why not read cities all over the world? Of course, you can also read books, for instance, this book "Notes on Reading Cities."
