Gen Z's temple dining zen trend

from Round Table China · host China Plus

Need a break from the hustle? What if the secret to unwinding wasn't a fancy spa day or a digital detox, but something far simpler: a humble bowl of rice in a tranquil temple? Temple meals are surging as Gen Z's go-to antidote to stress—blending mindfulness, tradition, and nourishment into one soul-soothing ritual. / As content creation and influencer culture explode, gyms are morphing into de facto film sets. Between tripods, ring lights, and carefully staged "failures," some seem more invested in crafting their next viral fitness reel than completing their reps (13:04). / We recommend one film from the 15th Beijing International Film Festival: Last Romance (《流金岁月》), directed by Yonfan (杨凡)(20:53). On the show: Heyang, Steve Hatherly & Yushan
