‘Man Zou’ 慢走 (go slowly or walk slowly) is a common Chinese departure greeting. It might loosely equate to something like ‘take it easy’ or ‘look after yourself’.

Slow City is a peaceful refuge where you can pause, breathe and be directionless for a while — allowing your body-mind the space it needs to heal.
