我還清楚地記得那是2015年10月,當時我在成都正進行為期兩個月的實習。抱持著多在中國走走看看的想法,我在實習之餘開始了探險:北京、張家界、長沙、西昌、康定……我在許多城市都留下了足跡,成都周邊的旅遊景點當然也不放過:美麗的樂山、青城山,當然還有萌物集合的成都大熊貓繁育研究基地。

I still clearly remember my first journey to Wenjiang. It was October 2015 and I was in the mood for adventure. At the time I was in downtown (Chengdu) for a two-month internship. The briefness of my trip combined with my assumption that I would not be returning to this corner of the world had made me hungry to explore as much as possible. By the end of the two months I had travelled to Beijing, Zhangjiajie, Changsha, Xichang and Kangding, as well as the tourist hot spots scattered around Chengdu: Leshan, Mount Qingcheng, and of course, the panda base.

旅途中,我結交了來自世界各地的朋友,而這又帶來了更多的奇遇——在某次與旅行中結識的友人見面的機遇下,我來到了成都以西的溫江,那是一座位於三環路之外的小城。那時,對於像我這樣大多數時間生活在市區的外國人來說,成都的三環路以外算是一個未知領域。如果有人告訴我,他/她住在溫江,我會感到很震驚,並接連發問:“為什麼住這麼遠?”“從市區來回要花多少時間?”“交通費用如何?”當然還有:“從水母酒吧(市區知名酒吧)回去要多久?”——對於外國人來說,最後一個問題顯然十分重要。

As well as places, I had also made friends from around the world, which only led to more adventure. On this occasion, I found myself travelling to Wenjiang, a district west of Chengdu, and way outside of the third ring road, to meet some people I had met on a night out. To most living in Chengdu, journeying to destinations based outside of Chengdu's third ring road is treated as if it's a journey to another city. Telling someone that you live in Wenjiang will generally be met with shock followed by a string of questions: "But…why?!" "How long does it take/cost you to get back from downtown?" And of course: "How do you get back from Jellyfish?" To a lot of foreigners, this last question is the most important question of all.

我與溫江的初遇有些特別,那時的我帶著幾分不確定坐上了車,漸漸靠近時,我已經感受到溫江散發的奇妙氣氛——既興奮又安寧。滴滴司機讓我在一個很空曠的地方下車。我站在車旁,看見一座大門口豎立著一塊長長的石雕帶,除此之外沒有任何標識——這裡看上去頗有些空曠寂寥。我手機欠費,被迫找司機借了手機,幸好朋友在第一響時就接了電話。原來是我走錯地方了,雖然日後這裡成為了我非常熟悉的地方:西南財經大學的北大門。自此,我開始接觸到迷人的溫江。

But even from my first trip to Wenjiang I felt there was something special about the place, which made it worth the trip. It was hard to put my finger on it at the time but I already felt the curious combination that Wenjiang's atmosphere exudes - both excitement and tranquility. The Didi dropped me at a similarly vacant area. I stood next to my Didi at a grand entrance flanked by a long, white stone frieze. It was almost deserted. My lack of credit forced me to use the Didi driver's mobile and fortunately my friend answered at the first ring. As it turned out, I was in the wrong place, although it would become a place I knew very well: the north gate of the SWUFE University, and before I knew it my friend had whisked me away to the real, enchanting Wenjiang.

通常我都在週五出發去溫江,那日我往往過得比較恍惚,總是在等待從工作中解放出來。到了溫江後,我總能感覺一股平靜的氣息迎面而來,而在這裡的整個週末氛圍就像無邊無際的大海一樣令人爽朗——我的所有煩惱和責任都被遠遠甩在市區了。

I would normally leave for Wenjiang on a Friday and I'd spend the day in a daze, waiting for the moment that I would be free from work and travelling back to Wenjiang. On arrival, a sea of calm would wash over me; the weekend seemed to stretch out before me like the wide horizon. All my troubles, all my responsibilities were left far behind me in downtown.

我到達的地點總是“東門”,位於幾所大學之間,是我心中溫江最具活力的地方之一。這裡的學生正是點燃溫江熱情的火種,大量學生的聚集為這裡帶來了創造力、社交活動、便宜的餐飲和熱情的氛圍。一條長長的街道上散佈著各種新奇的禮品店、供應咖啡和各種茶飲的時髦咖啡店、手工珠寶店、從印度菜到意大利菜應有盡有的美食餐廳,以及數不清的街頭小吃和水果攤。這還只是開始,從主幹道分支出來的小路里有著更多等待你去發現的驚喜。在高峰時段,當學生們下課後或在就餐時間從校園洶湧而出,每個店鋪的店主、夥計們都忙得不亦樂乎,同學們自然更放鬆:有手挽手吃著冰淇淋的,有往天上放孔明燈的,有為新開張的俱樂部或酒吧跳舞宣傳的,四面八方都有大喇叭在高聲放歌,讓人蠢蠢欲動。

My arrival point was always "east gate." Nestled between several university campuses, it is Wenjiang's most vibrant area. This is what ignites Wenjiang's spark - students. A high proportion of students situated in one area leads to creativity, social events, cheap food and drink, and a great atmosphere. East gate is the epitome of this. Spread over a long high street littered with quirky gift shops, cool cafes serving good coffee and endless tea flavours, handmade jewelry stores, amazing restaurants serving food from India to Italy, and endless, endless street food and fruit stalls. The high street is just the beginning. Stretching off the main road are little side roads offering even more gems waiting to be uncovered. At peak times, when students pour from the campuses after class or during eating hours, everywhere something is happening. Friends walk arm in arm eating ice cream, people give away flashing balloons, dancers advertise a new club or bar and music blares from all sides, spurring on the action.

但如果你更渴望的是寧靜,那麼溫江也能滿足你。大學校園本身就是適合散步和放鬆的休閒場所。這裡的大學校園有大片的草地供你放鬆,還有湖泊和一些令人驚歎的建築。溫江的最大特色在名字中就有所暗示了:這裡有許多河流。這些河流保存完好,還有很多寶塔和精心設計的橋樑,你可以在河邊漫步、跑步和騎行,或者在沿途眾多的茶館中選一處坐下來歇歇腳。

But if tranquility is something you crave more, then Wenjiang also has that on offer. The university campuses themselves are beautiful places to walk and relax. The university campuses offer huge swathes of grass to relax on, as well as lakes and some stunning architecture. Wenjiang's high point is hinted in its name: its many rivers. Beautifully preserved with pagodas and intricately designed bridges, these rivers can be strolled, ran, cycled or sat along in one of the numerous teahouses.

我最喜歡溫江的一點是這裡並不是太大。住在中心城區時,我的社交生活就是一個固定的時間表,而且去的地方距離都有些遠。在溫江,我只需五分鐘的路程就能和朋友去吃一頓美味可口的晚餐,在中心城區則需要兩倍或更多的時間,此外,我還能在散步回家時偶遇朋友,然後一起來杯咖啡。

My favourite thing about Wenjiang is the size. When I lived in downtown my social life was a fixed schedule dictated by large distances. In Wenjiang I can stroll five minutes down the road to meet a friend for a huge, tasty dinner that would cost twice the amount in Chengdu, or simply bump into a friend whilst strolling home and go for a quick coffee.

或許溫江最大的好處就在於這裡的花銷成本較低,這裡的房租差不多是中心城區一些地方的三分之一,而且是寬敞、舒適得多的公寓房,更不用說這裡的飲食消費。令人驚奇的是,這裡還有大量的外國食物供應,但價錢比市區低很多,我想主要是因為溫江有很多外國留學生。

Perhaps this is Wenjiang's best quality: the cost. Everything is cheap. Rent is almost three times less than some places in downtown, and for much bigger and nicer apartments. Not to mention the food and drink. Surprisingly, there is great foreign food on offer, but at a much lower cost in larger portions and better quality, due to the many foreigners studying in Wenjiang.

如果你是想探尋傳統的中式文化,那麼沒錯了,溫江正符合你的要求。只需步行一小段路,你就能發現年代久遠的古建築,或者看到演示古老儀式的長者。然而,同樣只需走一小段路,你也可以找到大型購物商場、電影院,甚至趣味橫生的主題公園—— 國色天鄉樂園。

But Wenjiang is far from being a place as people are led to believe. If culture and the "real" China is what you seek then yes, Wenjiang certainly has that. It only takes a short walk to find genuinely very old architecture or an elder performing an ancient ritual. However, a just as short distance can lead you to giant shopping malls, cinemas and even the giant theme park, Flora Land.

正是這些對立的存在讓我不斷地愛上溫江。雖然溫江遠離城市,但我從來沒對它感到過厭倦,我總是渴望溫江帶來的那份安逸。

It is contradictions such as these that make me constantly fall in love with Wenjiang. Despite being far from the city I never grow bored of Wenjiang and I always crave the peace that it gives me after visiting downtown.

如果你有時間,到溫江來看我們吧。我跟你保證,真的不遠。

So if you have the time, come visit us in Wenjiang. I promise you it's not so far.
