Drinking a cup of milk tea with friends? That's "city". Visiting the Great Wall of China? Very "city". Riding a bike down Shanghai's Anfu Road? Quite "city".
If you don't get it, let me explain it to you. The popularity of "City bu city?" has risen on the Internet these days. You can use it to describe whether someone, or something is urban (都市的) and modern or not.
"City bu city?" was first used by American blogger Paul Mike Ashton. He has lived in Shanghai with his sister for years. His name on the Internet is "Bao Bao Xiong". He likes sharing travel experiences in China on Douyin and Xiaohongshu. Ashton became popular after he shared a video of him asking his sister "City bu city?" on the Great Wall.
The word "city" itself has now taken on a new meaning as an adjective (形容词). Ashton himself says that it describes something that happens in the city, but it can also be "something that gives you a great love for life".
In recent years, a large number of foreign tourists like Ashton have been sharing their experiences of visiting China online. Topics about travelling in China are becoming more and more popular. Now people around the world can learn more about different places of modern China and Chinese way of life. And all of these are shown in a more emotional (感性的), friendly and natural way.
