Imagine trading skyscrapers for bamboo forests and traffic jams for mountain breezes. That’s exactly what Zhuo Li did when she left Shanghai to launch a cycling club in Yucun, a picturesque village in Zhejiang Province. 🚴♀️ Nestled beneath Long Dragon Mountain, her club now draws riders nationwide to explore winding trails and emerald-green landscapes.
But why are young people like Zhuo swapping city chaos for rural calm? Erik Solheim, Chair of the Europe-Asia Center and ex-UN Under-Secretary-General, joined the pedal-powered revolution to find out. 🌍 "Lucid waters and lush mountains are more than scenery—they’re a new currency of happiness," he says, highlighting Yucun’s shift from mining to eco-tourism.
Yucun’s story isn’t just about bikes—it’s a blueprint for sustainable living. With trails weaving through tea fields and past crystal-clear streams, this village proves that going green isn’t a trend; it’s the future. 🌱 Who needs a metro card when you’ve got a mountain view?
