My Home Town

My home town is GuangZhou which is the capital city of Guangdong provincial in south China. There is the Pearl river throught the city. The city has population of 6560,500 million, The metropolitan has 12.6 million people, it makes Guangzhou become the third most metropolitan area in China.
Guangzhou has a humid subtropical climate.It has a short,mild and dry winter.In summer, it's long, hot and wet.
The catering industry is one of the main industry in Guangzhou. There are 18,000 restaurants that bring in 15 billion income(1998). So "Eat in Guangzhou" is a famous saying.
Guangzhou also has a nikename. It is called"the flower city".Flowers open all over a year, especially in Chinese New Year.Before Chinese New Year, the city council close some roads in different area to build some big markets for the farmers to sell their flowers. So the whole city has flowers everywhere.People go shopping and choose flowers. The market close at midnight of Chinese New Year. There is only Guangzhou which has this flower market in China.
The people who live in Guangzhou enjoy life very much. In the morning people like to go to"yum cha" in a restaurant,and they have brought this habit to everywhere around the world.
