My Hometown

      This is my first article in the blog, and I would like to introduce my hometown, Yuxian. It is a county that has long time and abundant culture. I can use many ways to introduce my hometown, and there are basic information, history and culture, and nature scenery.
      First of all, let me introduce basic information about my hometown, Yuxian, for you.  Yuxian is a small county in the north part of the China, and it is belong to the Hebei province. It is near our capital, Beijing, so it has convenient condition about traffic. Its acreage is 3220 square kilometers, and the population is 480 thousand. Yuxian has many abundant mineral resources; for example, there are coal, iron, manganese, and gold and so on, and the reserve of coal is the largest, and it is 2.4 billion ton.
      Second, I would like to introduce the history and culture about Yuxian. It was built for 2000 years ago, and it was a King to reward a general who had many feats. About the culture, there are paper-cut and  a special art that we call tree-flower. The tree-flower is owned just by my hometown, and it use molten iron to throw the wall, then the molten iron is splashed that is called tree-flower. The tree-flower is very beautiful.

      Finally, this part is about  nature scenery in my hometown. The most famous one is named sky-grasslands because this grasslands is in the top of the mountain. The sky-grasslands has a special flower, and it is named edelweiss. When you go to there, you can ride the horse, and you can also shoot arrows.


       In short, there are many interesting things in my hometown, and the people like to keep opening doors.
Welcome to my hometown, and I can guide for you.

  1. Hello Paddy, it's my first time to read about a city in China, and it was really interesting to read about your hometown Yuxian. It's nice to live in a city that is near to Beijing. The most things that I liked in Yuxian is the great history, and the wonderful nature scenery. I searched for the tree flower in youtube website, but unfortunately I didn't found it. Finally, I hope that I can visit your wonderful hometown to ride a horse in sky-grasslands, and to see you their.
