Jamie's lovely hometown

My hometown is Nanjing. It’s in the south of China. It’s capital of Jiangsu Province. As the capital city of ten dynasties in Chinese history, it’s referred to as one of the “Four Ancient Capitals” in China. Nanjing is a modern and busy city. It has a long history. There are many big supermarkets, beautiful gardens and good factories here. It is very easy to go shopping. You can see big trees and nice flowers. There are many restaurants in the city center . Many visitors come here to enjoy it. My hometown is a historical place. Famous for a long history, people come here to visit the Confucius Temple. This temple shows us the ancient Chinese exam system and now many people come here to express Confucius. My favourite place is XuanWu Lake. Everything here is full of mystery and it’s a romantic place for young people dating. There are many trees surrounding the lake. It suits the city’s style. You can walk with your lover around the lake. There’re a lot of changes in recent years in Nanjing. Three years ago, Nanjing was a very dirty and crowed place. It was a mess and many traffic jams everyday. Now, the Nanjing city council to built underground system. Last month, a new underground was built. It’s a very nice and fast way to go to work, school or go shopping. There are many gardens and free equipment for people to do exercise. Every morning I get up and I go out jogging, there are lots of flowers and plants. Nanjing is a good place to visit, it is both a historical place and a modern city.
