Two rivers flow through Tim's hometown

My hometown is a historical city called Yangzhou. It is located in the southeast of my country and south of Shanghai. It has a population of at least 5,000,000. It was one of the richest cities nearly 600 years ago, but now there are many cities which are much richer. It won a prize for the best living environment for humans from the United Nations.

The Jinghang River and Long River flow through my city. Over time, because of the rivers, the place has rapidly developed from a small town into a thriving city. So it has a large population and is very noisy. My city was described by a lot of poem, I think it’s a romantic city.

For me, the best thing is that my city is very near some lakes. There is beautiful scenery at the city edge, and is the visitors’ favourite place. Many poems mention these lakes, so they are famous in China.
