Spring
The old town moves at an easy clip, with temple courtyards, lanes, and the riverfront drawing steady foot traffic. Light feels clear, and days invite lingering pauses.
Summer
By summer, the town settles into slower midday rhythms and longer evening walks through the center. Markets, tea stops, and shaded streets shape a measured pace.
Fall
Fall brings a cleaner, more composed rhythm to the streets. Temple visits, market errands, and late-afternoon light give the town a reflective, orderly feel.
Winter
Winter narrows the town into its essentials, with quieter lanes, warm drink stops, and shorter circuits between markets and temples. The pace feels intimate and spare.
