Fly south in search of a warm place to spend the winter.
Zhuzhou Evening News Rong ** reporter Xie Jia.
Nowadays, it is not only young people who like to run around, but middle-aged and elderly people also love to go out and "explore". Every winter, they fly like migratory birds to the warm lands of the south and enjoy the good life there.
The world is so big, I'm going to see it! "Ms. Yan will spend a comfortable winter in Hainan and return to Zhuzhou when the spring flowers bloom. Nowadays, "migratory bird" pension has become a new fashion, and everyone is no longer just in a hurry to sightsee, but choose to stay in one place and slowly taste the local customs.
Facing the sea, recuperate.
Fly south in search of a warm place to spend the winter. Ms. Liu in Tianyuan District is such a person, after retiring, she has spent the winter in the south five times, and she goes to a different place every year.
Ms. Liu, 64, experienced the "migratory bird" life eight years ago, and the city at that time was Guangzhou. Over the years, Yunnan, Guangdong, and Hainan have left her footprints. Ms. Liu believes that the most important thing is to live in the moment and enjoy life. Taking advantage of the current physical conditions, she chose to go out for a walk, gain a long insight, and appreciate the customs and customs of various places.
Talking about the winter experience of "flying south", Ms. Liu said: "This year I was in Beihai, the air here is fresh, the temperature is comfortable, the scenery is beautiful, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, the sea and the surrounding green leaves and red flowers, the mood is very comfortable, like going to another world." ”
Ms. Liu prefers to stay in a local apartment rather than a hotel. She said that the apartment is well equipped, there is a canteen and you can also cook your own meals, **affordable. In the apartment, she made many like-minded friends, and everyone visited together, exchanged experiences, and lived a fulfilling and meaningful life.
Also choosing to fly south for the winter is Ms. Yan. She and her wife planned to go to Sanya for the winter, and relatives bought a house there. "The winter in Sanya is very warm, and I have never suffered from leg pain. The children also encouraged them to recuperate in Sanya and enjoy their old age.
How much does it cost to enjoy life?
Wintering in the South sounds like a good choice! But then again, this kind of sojourn life is not cheap. So how much does it cost? Let's hear from Ms. Liu.
Five years ago, I spent the winter in Hainan and chose to live in an apartment in Wuzhishan City, at that time the cost was 1,800 yuan per month, providing food and accommodation services, which was quite suitable. Ms. Liu said that the **year by year** apartment has now risen to nearly 3,000 yuan, and it will increase during the Chinese New Year.
As for the cost of sojourn, Ms. Liu said that if you want to have a good time, you may need seven or eight thousand yuan per person per month; If you are more conservative, four or five thousand yuan is enough. The cost of living in a sojourn depends mainly on the level of income of the individual. She mentioned a pair of friends with higher incomes, each of whom spent 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan a month.
Ms. Yan, on the other hand, is more "worry-free", her relatives have a house in Sanya, saving money for renting an apartment. "Our old couple spent about 2,000 yuan a month. "The prices in Ms. Yan's residential community are also relatively reasonable, the price of vegetables is similar to that of Zhuzhou, and the fruits are cheaper.
The reporter visited and found that some travel agencies in Zhuzhou also saw this business opportunity and launched a sojourn project. They will arrange the customer in a local sojourn apartment,** usually around 3,000 yuan per month.
The supporting facilities are good, and the channels are diverse.
In terms of play, the transportation facilities in those residential communities are generally good, making travel very convenient. Ms. Yan mentioned that there are many shuttle buses in Hainan that can be used for free to see houses and shops, and for those who have such needs or do not have a clear destination, they can follow these buses. In addition, the buses and electric tour buses here are also convenient, so you can easily reach them wherever you want to go**.
For older friends, Ms. Yan suggested that after staying in the apartment, you can choose to join a tour group and visit the surrounding attractions, which is both safe and secure.
In addition to public transport, some communities also offer more convenient transport services. Ms. Liu said that there is a bus outside the community where she lives, not far from the airport, and there are sightseeing trams to take. In addition, the community also provides shared trams and shared bicycles and other means of transportation, and the convenient transportation environment provides more travel options for travelers.
Ms. Liu has summed up a lot of experience in the past few years of sojourn and made many like-minded friends. "People also introduce each other when choosing a place to stay. She said that it is not recommended to live in a small private hotel, and the hygienic and medical conditions are difficult to reassure.
With the advent of the information age, the ways of living and the channels of information have also become diversified. The staff of Hunan News International Travel Agency said that people can choose to participate in the project of a travel company or travel agency, or through the introduction of relatives and friends who have participated in the residence, or contact the hotel or residence apartment on their own.
The reporter found that the online platform also provides people with the opportunity to directly connect with the destination residence apartment or hotel, making the residence more convenient and personalized.
Sojourn boom, the pursuit of freedom.
For the way of life of "sojourn", the reporter interviewed a number of citizens, and they had different views.
Don't mention the money first, you have to pick up and drop off your grandchildren every day, how can you have time? "Ms. Sun is a housewife who has a lot of time and energy constraints due to the care of her young grandchildren. Although the sojourn is beautiful, the responsibilities and obligations in reality make it impossible for her to achieve it easily.
Mr. Wang, who is in his 40s, believes that the sojourn lifestyle is the choice of people who have both money and leisure. He admitted frankly that he is old and young, and his work and life are under great pressure, so he can't consider this kind of life at present. But he supported his parents in traveling around the world after retirement, believing it to be both a pleasure and a way to enrich their lives.
We have already made an appointment with two other families to prepare for the sixth day of the new year, and after the fifteenth year, we will return to Zhuzhou. Ms. He has a strong interest in sojourn, and she said that her ideal lifestyle is to be free, uninhibited, and live in ** when you go, and enjoy the food and scenery of various places.
Recently, a platform released the "2023 China Commercial Pension Service Supply and Demand Insights***", which shows that the urban elderly's cognition of different pension models has gradually broadened: in addition to traditional home care, 75% of the elderly know about institutional pension; 43% of the elderly know about managed community care; 37% of people know about living in a pension. At the same time, public welfare activities, cultural and artistic activities, and sojourn are the most favored leisure and entertainment choices for the elderly in the city.
According to industry insiders, the main destination cities for Zhuzhou citizens are Hainan cities, Kunming, Xishuangbanna, etc. The people who participate in the company's travel program are mainly retirees with a fixed income and strong support from their children.
Migratory birds: "What should the old man pay attention to when flying south."
Looking for a comfortable haven for the winter, many elderly people are prone to fall into misunderstandings and ignore health risks. The doctor reminded that the elderly of "migratory birds" need to pay special attention to health problems and adopt scientific management methods during their stay in Nanfei.
Do not stop taking the drug without permission. Before flying south, the elderly can go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination and carry the necessary medicines under the guidance of the doctor.
Avoid overexertion. Elderly people with a history of heart disease should pay attention to sun protection and hydration when exercising to avoid problems such as ultraviolet allergies and vascular dehydration. In addition, it is important to take precautions to keep warm after getting out of the water when swimming, so as not to trigger other illnesses due to colds.
Be alert for venous thrombosis. Middle-aged and elderly people get up and walk around every hour when they take the first tool. During the trip, clothing, shoes and socks should be loose and comfortable to ensure that there is enough room for legs to move. At the same time, drink water appropriately.
Pay attention to your diet. The elderly often have weakness in the spleen and stomach, and are weak in transportation, so they should choose food carefully to avoid being greedy for cold and cold and sudden changes in eating habits. Although tropical fruits such as durian and mango are delicious, they should be eaten sparingly for the elderly with damp spleen and stomach and sticky mouth, so as not to contribute to dampness and heat.
Words from journalists. Rural tourism model, hotel apartment model, long-distance pension community model, and sojourn exchange model ......These different forms of sojourn and pension provide diversified choices for the elderly, opening a door to a new world for the elderly.
The rise of sojourn and pension is not only a product of social and economic development, but also the pursuit and yearning of the elderly for a high-quality life.
