"Ideal Afternoon" is the representative work of Shu Guozhi, the founder of travel literature and the "eternal wanderer". With a transcendent vision and idle feelings about life, he talks about travel and landscapes, looking at the surroundings and looking for beautiful places. Since its publication, it has won many awards in the Chinese cultural circle and is known as "a must-have book for young literary and artistic people". It's wandering, it's life, it's also aesthetics. This book contains 32 essays compiled and selected by the author himself. Liang Wendao personally wrote the preface, introducing Shu as a person and his writings, and outlining Shu Guozhi's change trajectory from youth to maturity. There is also a new preface written by Shu Guozhi for the 22nd anniversary edition. Life is unplanned. May we walk in our own time. The good times after mediocrity may not always be 100% ideal. It is also peaceful and comfortable to find tranquility in the chaos and simplicity in the chaos. The ideal afternoon is of course limited, and the enjoyment is short-lived, but the afternoon time is more pleasant.

How can a trapped person live the life he wants? The author Shu Guozhi took the attitude of escaping and blazed his own path. Wandering around the streets of Taipei and roaming around the world, a simple bowl of fried rice or a refreshing stand can arouse his interest. Although he is in a busy city, he maintains a calm heart in the chaos and calmly and elegantly builds his spiritual world into a paradise. Shu Lang's concise words wash away the clutter in the heart like a clear stream: When most people are trapped in social disciplines, running for money and distressed, they must know that anything becomes a shackle, and running away is not cowardice, but self-rescue. Only by escaping to the life you like at all costs can you wipe away your melancholy, and see your once free, stretched, and enthusiastic self with a bright and clear heart.

Shu Guozhi's hard-core travel literature classic "The Distant Highway". During the seven years from 1983 to 1990, Shu Guozhi was in the United States, driving everywhere on the highways. While others were commuting and worrying about work, he drove endlessly on American highways. He passed through wilderness and highways alone, sometimes sleeping in the car, sometimes driving thousands of miles just to see a small town. I recall when I was a kid, I saw locals looking for jobs insecurely and having to sleep in the wilderness overnight when their cars broke down. When he stopped, he looked back and saw that the world was empty, except for the thousands of miles accumulated on the odometer.

"The Eternal Wanderer" Shu Guozhi's masterpiece is a smash hit and a phenomenal travel prose. The diary of a free and easy wandering can be called the best model for traveling in Kyoto.

Take an aimless walk and then get a good night's sleep.
