So far So far, which is the most stunning building you have seen?
When the president saw this picture, he already had the answer in mind.
2,500 steps, a whole 18 floors, shaped in a circle around, a total length of more than 1.6 kilometers.
It's one of New York's most famous landmarks, "The Vessel".
It's said that it cost $200 million just to build it, and the walk to the top is almost like climbing a mountain.
The combination of copper-colored steel and concrete makes this building futuristic.
The first time I saw it, I thought it was a sci-fi movie still!
Relying on the superb design and the master architects behind it, "The Vessel" has been taken as a Netflix landmark attracting people from all over the world to take photos.
Some people even choose to commit suicide here. The Vessel has been forced to close in early 2021 due to a spate of people ending their lives here.
Controversy ensued:
What was this innovative design defined as? Architecture, installation or an art show ......
When the Netflix economy is sweeping the world, any industry seems to want to take advantage of the opportunity to attract attention, and architecture is certainly no exception.
And in order to hit these Netflix landmarks, people are giving it their all, even lining up from morning to night.
Those years, we chased the "net red"
Recently, the opening of Shenzhen Wenheyou has been on the hot topic.
A full-blooded fireworks, neon lights everywhere, handwritten signboards, small advertisements posted everywhere ......
As well as street food such as beef mince, stinky tofu and other marketplace snacks, all kinds of old design, people seem to "travel" back to the 80's and 90's.
But the hot spot of the city is not only a place for the people, but also a place for the people to enjoy.
But the focus of the hot searches is not the Wenheyou personality chic, interesting and fun dining environment.
But it was the 50,000 people who lined up on the opening day.
The president wondered if all these people didn't have to work.
It seems that in the past few years, no matter what you eat or wear, as long as you add the word "Netflix" to it, it will immediately become a big hit!
It seems that they represent a trend, and if you don't try them out, you'll be out of touch and out of fashion. ......
Internet red marketing has also captured this "vanity" and desire to "fit in" mentality of the people, and has opened up all over the world.
But do people really like these Netflix products? Not really.
The main reason for the contemporary people to rush to the card behavior.
As soon as Xiaohongshu or Weibo promotes it, countless people will flock to it.
Rather than wait in a seven-hour long line and spend hundreds of dollars to drink a cup of net red milk tea;
No matter how far away it is, no matter how expensive it is, you have to go to Changsha to buy a cup of tea YanYanYueShi.
Once the originator of Netflix, Taoyuan Folk Village was known as the "Hermes of the breakfast world" because of its expensive price tag.
His doughnuts can cost as much as 8 yuan a stick and 25 yuan for a baklava, yet they are still highly sought after.
At its hottest, more than 1,000 people came to hit the restaurant in 1 day, and it took 2 hours of queuing to get a bite.
In order to get a glimpse of it, people do not hesitate to spend thousands of dollars to satisfy their desires.
But nowadays, the business of Taoyuan眷村 has long gone down, and the heat is declining year by year.
This is really what some people say:
Net red store is like a tornado, come and go in a hurry. The process is very short.
Think twice before hitting the card
There are also some net red places, wait until the place, only to find out that it is not their own imagined pattern ......
In Brussels, Belgium, the "less than even statue", is every person to go to Belgium are looking forward to the card landmark.

But every Brusselsian will surely persuade you to say:
"That famous child is really small, even if you lower your expectations, it is still smaller than you expect!"
The real Less Than Even statue, at 53 centimeters tall
Indeed, they're right, the peeing child is so small that you need to desperately zoom in on the lens to get a clear shot.
There are plenty of other places where you can see the real thing:
For example, Denmark's national treasure, the Little Mermaid.
The Little Mermaid sits on a giant granite rock, looking off into the distance, looking relaxed.

In fact, the real her less than 1.5 meters high, in the crowded crowd, the degree of aesthetics greatly reduced;
The real Little Mermaid, about 1.5 meters high
Attracting countless people in the United Kingdom "Stonehenge", the real look is not "Stonehenge", but the real look is not a "stone", but the real look is not a "stone".
The real Little Mermaid is about 1.5 meters tall, and the real Stonehenge attracts millions of people.
Other people's photos of Stonehenge
The tallest is only 8 meters, and straight poking there surrounded by the crowd, but like a "weak".
The real Stonehenge
With the use of social media platforms and filters, Netflix stores and attractions have proliferated, and the quality varies.
If you are still relying on the beauty pictures on the Internet and fly over to hit the spot without thinking, you may not only be greatly disappointed, but even be pitched!
Bali is famous for its "Gates of Heaven" attraction.
The beautiful view of the water, as if it were a fairyland, attracts thousands of people every year to take photos here.
However, the reality of the scene is a shocker!
Because it's like this
After getting closer it's like this
No lake, no water, just bare ground ......
And the so-called blockbuster was taken by a local vendor with an iphone and a mirror.
Charge $1 to $2 per session, three hours in line, and 10 seconds to take a picture.
It's really full of tricks in order to cheat tourists' wallets.
In the face of such a net red place, the president advised you still don't hit the card ......
The most beautiful "card place" may be around
Dozens of meters of long queues, hundreds of thousands of fans, a minute "100,000 +" marketing software. ...... is always stirring.
So, in our circle of friends, there is always a good-looking scenery, attractive food and the most trendy net red place.
The president previously traveled to Nanjing with a colleague and visited the Presidential Palace.
As soon as we entered the door of the Presidential Palace, we felt a strong sense of history, like a favorite history storybook spread out in front of us.
Because of his strong interest in history, the president was instantly captivated.
His colleagues, however, were not excited, and were even a bit bored. They just took a picture and hurried out.
After this trip, the president learned from the experience, every time you go to where to play in the future, must do some homework.
This homework includes an understanding of the destination, as well as the perception and selection of fellow travelers.
Because what may be beautiful to you may be just a few houses to someone who isn't interested.
They only have a punch card to go on, and at best it's enough to let others know they've been there, yet they know nothing about the story behind the view.
In fact, there's nothing wrong with going to a certain place, eating a certain food, and finding it meaningful and interesting, and choosing to punch the clock.
But what's the point of punching a card for the sake of punching a card if it's like completing a task?
Social media has changed our original intentions, and the slower pace of life is fading and diminishing.
But what's more important than taking pictures and clocking in is life itself.
Think of the people in ancient times, they did not have the network, no camera, and even less friends circle ......
But still can see every mountain and river, tasted every mouthful of great flavor, feel the sigh of approval and tears.
Is it possible that our lives are not as good as those of our predecessors?
Not really, just that we ignore the other things in life that are worth enjoying and yearning for.
Yu Hua said: "People are living for living itself, not for living outside of anything to live."
Finding what we really love and not letting ourselves have regrets is probably our best punchline.
And the truly hip or happy people must also know how to subtract from life appropriately.
Therefore, the president suggested that when we are ready to go to hit the card again, we might as well calmly think about why we really go first.
Don't let the brainless follow the trend and punch card, ruined our original should be more wonderful life.
Friends, what do you say?
This circle of friends really scared me ......
