My Hometown-Beijing

Beijing, situated on the northern edge of the North China plain, is my hometown and the place where I was born. I love Beijing not only for I am leading a happy life in it but also for I am interested in this charming and great city.

As a citizen of Beijing, I am glad to have a chance to introduce this great and old city to everybody, as well as, I believe that everyone will be crazy for this city, on the grounds that classic architectures, delicious foods, wonderful tourist attractions, the enthusiasm of habitants and so on.

  



Tian'anmen Square



In my eyes, Beijing is a book. Thousands of history and splendid Chinese cultures make it a famous city around the world. Form the ancient times, it was one of the most important city in north of China, so it had been the capital of several dynasties in the past, such as Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties in ancient and contemporary Chinese history, which let it have royal style and be full of appeals all the time. All the things happened during the process of the long history has been recorded in this book using diligence and intelligence by generations. So I want to say that we are reading the history of developments of Chinese civilization when we have a touch with the history of Beijing.

In my opinions, Beijing is a wonderful and vivid painting, which demonstrate the beauties and splendors. After thousands years, it owns a great deal of historical attractions, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven, the Ming Tombs and the like. Everyone coming from other cities and countries to Beijing will visit these historical sites and relic places in order to have memorable experiences.



Green Building



For my part, Beijing is the pulsatile flame. As we know, Beijing obtained the right to hold the Summer Olympic Games in 2008; all the people around the world paid their attentions to this old city and looked forward to seeing the larruping sport event. I remembered clearly that the Tiananmen Square and Chang'an Avenue were crowded with many excited Chinese people and Beijing was the ocean of jubilation with cheers, as were the main streets in other cities in China. Since that time, Beijing has been developing at a remarkable speed and the gymnasiums and facilities for the Olympic Games are under construction.

  

Nowadays, all the people living in Beijing, no matter the Chinese or the foreigners, are contributing their energies to the constructions and developments of it with the whole enthusiasm and anticipations. So I think that Beijing is a huge wheel strolling toward at a faster and unparalleled speed.

Now I am a student in university and I hope that I could take advantage of all the things that I have learned in school to contribute myself to the development of Beijing when I graduate from campus. I also wish that it would have a wonderful tomorrow and more people coming from other countries will come here and have unforgotten experiences, which making them understand Beijing better and understand our nation better.

Beijing is my hometown and I love it forever!
