Living and supporting the elderly have high demands on the environment. In addition to the local cultural heritage, beautiful natural scenery and relatively leisure life rhythm, the level of medical care and service industry is also the focus of consideration. I have been to many cities in recent years, and I feel that Chengdu, Kunming and Chongqing are all good choices. Coincidentally, all three cities are in the southwest of China. The first two are provincial capital cities, and Chongqing is a municipality directly under the central government, which is similar to the provincial level and can barely be regarded as a provincial capital city.
The provincial capital is the center of a province and the pace of life is usually fast, but Chengdu is an exception. It is fashionable, modern and lively in new first-tier cities, but also has a sense of leisure that some provincial capitals do not have. Only when you come here can you understand what "hiding in the city" means. Teahouses all over the city make people obviously feel the local people's free pursuit of "eating, drinking and having fun".
Sichuan was called "the land of abundance" in ancient times, and Chengdu was in a relatively flat basin. In the past, people didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and because there were mountains around as barriers, they didn't have to worry about the war in the Central Plains burning here, so local people had enough reasons to enjoy life.
Leisure culture in Chengdu has existed since ancient times. It is very pleasant to provide for the aged, enjoy tea, chat in the mountains, go shopping and visit tourist attractions in leisure time. The advanced medical conditions in the provincial capital cities also make the elderly have no worries.
Chengdu is rich in tourism resources, including Jinli, Wuhou Temple, Du Fu Caotang and Kuanzhai Lane. If you want to see the plateau scenery, Ganzi and Aba are not far away. As long as the weather is good and the ability is strong, you can travel at any time.
If you are a foodie, Chongqing is a good choice. There are delicious food everywhere, hot pot, Jianghu dishes and all kinds of snacks. What is rare is that although the food is spicy, it does not rob the taste of the ingredients.
As the only municipality directly under the central government in southwest China, Chongqing's comprehensive strength has always been comparable to that of Chengdu.
Chongqing is very lively, but also very leisure. In the past, many people were discouraged because the city was built on a hill. Now, highways and light rails extend in all directions. If your legs and feet are not good, you can choose to take the bus when you go out. If your legs and feet are still good, walking more is equivalent to doing good physical exercise.
As an online celebrity city, there are numerous tourist attractions in Chongqing, with unique charm, except the well-known Hongyadong, Chaotianmen, Jie Fangbei and many other unknown attractions.
Kunming is the capital of Yunnan. Although it is located in the plateau, it is spring-like weather all year round, so it is nicknamed "Spring City".
Kunming is now a second-tier city, once a new first-tier city, and may return to this throne in the future.
Kunming is classical and fashionable. It has a long history and charming scenery. Coming to Kunming will naturally relax, and the environmental atmosphere has a great influence.
Kunming has a long sunshine time all year round. Even in winter, as long as the sun comes out, it won't feel cold, and the taste of Yunnan cuisine is more popular.
It is a good mood for the elderly to live in a stress-free city. I want to know which of the three cities do you like? Maybe you have other ideal choices? Let's discuss it.
