My Hometown


I come from Suzhou, China. It is a very beautiful city which is between Shanghai and Hangzhou. It has a long history.

The city has four old famous parks. Many people from different countries like to visit it every year. The parks style is old built and it has many kinds of flowers inside. Two of them have a small river inside that is very beautiful. The river is very clean and the colour is a special green. If you go there in Spring, you will enjoy it very much,because all the flowers will be opening.

Suzhou's climate reaches often an average temperature of 26-32c in the summer, and in the winter the minimum is 4-7c,and rain is very common.

One of the main industries is silk manufacture, you can see many colourful silk products in the shops. Many tourist like to buy many silk products for their friends as presents every year, because it isn't very expensive, they have beautiful Chinese styles.

Suzhou's food is a little bit sweet. If you like sweet food that's perfect. White fresh water fish, white fresh water prawns and small fresh water crabs are famous food found only in there. Many people like them. There have many restaurants around the Suzhou River. You can try different style food there. Also the price isn't very expensive. And you can enjoy the Suzhou River scenery. After the meal, you can take a walk around the Suzhou River with your friends.
