City of Memory: A Different Kyoto [Chinese]

By Zhao Yang

When in Kyoto, it is advisable to be clean and to meditate, as a tribute to the beauty of the city, and as a sign of respect for other travelers who are also experiencing this beauty. You should also stop at any garden that catches your eye and not miss the opportunity to visit it, because what you miss by accident could be the once-in-a-millennium baptism of the soul. Should also put down the camera, read the description of the site text, viewing the old buildings bearing traces of history, because that only the naked eye can capture the charm of the scene, it is difficult to use the camera to retain, those seemingly dilapidated scenery, hidden in the heart of the heritage of the generations to pass on. This book is not a sightseeing itinerary, but a historian's record of his encounter with Kyoto over the past few decades through the eyes of a cultural traveler - a city that has never been just a backdrop for history, but rather a "city of memory" that is repeatedly destroyed and reborn, and that has been the subject of poetry and sectarian competition....
