My Hometown

My Hometown

After the flight landed on the ground, I could hardly describe my excitement. As an old proverb says, “Gold mansion can’t surpass my own slum”. I certainly agree on this point after I returned to my hometown. The sky is much clearer than other places, the sun is much more brighter than that of elsewhere. It is Shanghai where I was born, a big modern high-tech city. Under the sunshine, it looks like a beautiful bride, radiating colorful rays of light.

Shanghai is located in the east of China, with around 20 million population.

To my great joy and surprise, Shanghai has changed a lot in such a short time. It likes a newly-born baby now has turned to an elegant lady, with high buildings, grand bridges and towers.

The world has paid close attention to Shanghai, many multinational corporations with powerful ability have invested their business in Shanghai. The ideal location of Shanghai makes it attractive to a lot of powerful corp. The highest plaza in Asia----Jingmao Plaza is the representative modern architecture, which is famous for its novelty design and soaring height. Standing at the side of Huangpu River makes our mother river more perfect, the Jinmao Plaza is the Shanghai pride. Let’s take another look, if you fly in the sky, having a bird’s view, you can see another spectacular—many highways, overheads and bridges hovering the ground and river. They are the merits and achievements of our arduous workers. Because of their dedication, Shanghai will become such pretty.

Do you know Yu Garden? There you can easily breathe the traditional air and feel the civilization environment, so of course there is the place a lot of foreigners visit most. You can buy many traditional garments and costumes as a souvenir.

If you are used to walking along the Huangpu river at night, you will be a lucky guy. Because at night Shanghai is the most beautiful under the colorful lightness and clear and bright moonlight, you will have a strong feeling, that is I am proud of being a Shanghainese.

I love Shanghai, for its quick step for joining the queue of modernization, I belong to this city—my hometown.

Welcome to shanghai to share my happiness and sense of fulfillment. Thank you!
