Travel to FuZhou

Fuzhou is My hometown

Fuzhou Located in the lower reaches of the Min River, the capital city of Fujian Province, Fuzhou City is situated in the eastern part of the Province. Fuzhou, the center of economic, political, cultural and transportation of Fujian Province, was so named after a mountain situated in the north called Mt. Fu.

Additional Fuzhou is both a historic and a cultural city with an over two-thousand-year of history and in 908, Fuzhou was expanded. This expansion included Mt. Yu, Mt. Wu and Mt. Ping within its jurisdiction. The city is also prosperous in culture, from the Tang (618-907) through to the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911); there were thousands of Jinshi from Fuzhou.

The climate of Fuzhou is comfortable, affording tourists to visit the city all the year round, especially between April and November. Fuzhou is a tourist city that boasts both natural and manmade sights. Famous mountains include Mt.Gu, Qi, Shizhu, Baiyan and Xuefeng etc. Famous temples include Yongquan, Xichan, Linyang, Fahai and Yunju etc. Famous tombs like Tomb of Lin Zexu etc. Famous gardens include West Lake etc. Famous towers include the White, Wu and Luoxing etc. and famous bridges including Wanshou and Longjiang etc. and also many former residences of celebrated historical figures.

Have a simple introduction through downtown Fuzhou. The center of Fuzhou City is Wuyi Square and Dongjiekou is the commercial center of downtown Fuzhou. From railway station bus No. 20 will take tourists to Dongjiekou, Bus No. 51 will bring tourists to the crossing of Wusi Lu and Hudong Lu - the financial center of Fuzhou, and bus No. 821 will take tourists to Jinshan, the new expanded city area.

My country- CHINA

History Of China

China representing one of the earliest civilizations in the world, has a recorded history of about 3,600 years. It possesses rich historical documents as well as ancient relics. Like other nations, China, in its development, passed through the stages of primitive society, slave society, and feudal society. During the middle decades of the 19th century, capitalist forces of foreign countries invaded China. The founding of the People's Republic in 1949 marked China's entry into the socialist stage. During the long period of historical development, the industrious, courageous, and intelligent Chinese people of all nationalities collectively created a great civilization. They made great contributions to all of mankind.

On July 9, 2007 the "new seven wonders of the world". Were voted for by Internet and phone the winners include the Great Wall of China. The other seven new wonders are the Colosseum in Rome, American Idol style, India's Taj Mahal, the Great Wall of China, Jordan's ancient city of Petra, the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru, and the ancient Maya city of Chichén Itzá in Mexico.

How do I feel about the story "TWINS"

When I read through the story about the twins, I felt to be a twin was both positive and negative.

The negative is that the twin brothers or sisters will be jealous, arguing with each other. But the positive is you are never lonely, it doesn't matter if you feel sad or happy, there will be someone next to you who cares about you, your twin brother or sister.

From the story we can see Jessica and Natalie Anthonty are caring for each other and want to stay together for ever and ever, for example " we both always cry when we say goodbye. We have a dream of marrying twins and living next door to each other".

Over all it still seems nice to be twins .
