Play should be quiet

In hot summer, you can't travel long distances, you should seek seclusion nearby. In the morning, when the sun shines first, the three breaths are fresh, and you can go for a walk in the lush gardens to exercise, revive the old and take in the new. In the evening, when the sun goes down, you can stroll along the riverside and lakeside. The cool breeze will make you calm like water and eliminate the fatigue of the day.
