It is not very large, but I love it, because it is beautiful. East of it, there are two big farms. They are modern ones and there are hundreds of thousands of sheep, pigs, hens and cows there. They provide part of eggs, milk and meat for the people of Tianjin. West of my hometown, five miles away, there are beautiful hills covered with green trees, grass and all kinds of beautiful flowers. It's a good place for you to hike. You can sit by the clean water of a stream and have a picnic. A natural park is free to you. Around my home town within five to ten kilometers, you'll see several old temples. They are all large. There are many beautiful frescoes and vivid statues, some of which date from one thousand and two hundred years. If you go over ten kilometers to the north, you'll get to a big modern chemical works. The whole works is a big garden and there is no pollution, no smoke, no rubbish or no wastes there. It is controlled by a center computer and every day you can see thousands of workers wearing clean and fashionable clothes to and from work. The best time to enjoy my hometown is at night. There are two parks in our town. You can walk along the broad and clean streets or sit on the long bench in the park and have a chat with your friends or play chess beside the stone tables.
