     Gaochun County, a picturesque county in east China's Jiangsu Province, was expected to be named the first "slow city" in China in November this year.
     The arrival of Pier Giorgio Oliveti, chairman of the World Slow City Union, raised the idea of a slow
city, which has become popular all over the world. In Shanghai, Oliveti said that the slow city movement
was founded in his hometown of Italy in October of 1999. "Italy is the birthplace of slow food, which
emphasizes nutrition, flavor and taste," he said.
     Oliveti said the idea of a slow city has also expanded constantly during its development, which has led
to some special requirements today. For instance, the slow city always emphasizes a small town and its
residents, keeps a unique identity, characteristics and keeps the natural state of the town. It adopts
technology without losing traditional customs and offers to provide a clean environment, a fair deal and
healthy food for all. In addition, the slow city has to be eco-friendly with a population of no more than
50,000, and it must be deeply devoted to protecting and keeping the purity of the natural environment as
well as greatly promoting and carrying out sustainable (可持续的) development technologies.
     The ecological tour of Gaochun County includes an area of about 49 square kilometers with around
20,000 residents. It has a lot of tea, bamboo fruits, herbs (草本植物) and other green food ecological
bases as well as rich folk culture resources.
     There are now 135 slow cities in 24 countries across the world that have been named since the
founding of the organization in 1999.
