Instead of quickly going to crowded tourist spots, people are choosing to explore busy markets, old streets and interesting alleys (小巷) slowly. Citywalk is very popular with young people. They are often too busy with their work to explore local areas. Citywalk lets them do this in a fun and relaxing way. This shows that people are starting to want a slower way of life.
