My hometown


I am going to write about my hometown-GuangZhou. GuangZhou is in South of China which is the famous capital city of GuangTon state. It takes two hours by train to another famous city-HongKong. GuangZhou is a big, busy and modern city which has 400,000 population. Also it is an international visitor and finance centre city.
There are Spring and Autumn fairs in Guangzhou every year. Traders come from different counties in the world. Every season the fairs bring volume of business over a hundreds million. It eatablished the international finance centre status of GuangZhou.
There is a long and beautiful river which is linked to the end of pear river. In a summer night, a lot of whole families and lovers stroll around the river. Many visitors sail in boats on the river to enjoy both sides of bright lights. It is an amazing night. And there are five bridges look like five rainbows stretched over the river. It joins south and north side of the city. They are the main hubs of communications of GuangZhou.
White Cloud Mountain is the highest and most picturesque place in GuangZhou. It has a medicine factory on the top and a clear valley next to the factory. They use the valley water to refine the medicines. Before there was a out of military bounds. Right now, it has become a public sport and relaxation place. Especially at the weekend almost all companies and schools organize to climbing the mountain and some families take a picnic there. You can also taste some of the special snakes which are made with Spring water.
GuangZhou is a paradise on good food. Any kinds of delicious food in the world you would find there. Of course, cheaply.
There people are kind and diligent. A lot of young people from other cities come over there for working or studying. It is like a big family.
During Chinese New Year, there are three days of large flower flea markets in each suburb. After finishing Chinese New Year Eve dinner, most families go out to the flower flea market for choose some beautifull flowers or craft goods. Some young people buy peach blossoms then put them in the middle of the living room. They wish they would be able to get a good lover in the future.
If you would like to spend some time there, you shall find out GuangZhou is a special and great city in China.
