Itsbeautyattracts many people all over the world. And the most important reason is because of the empressement of the Guangzhou people. Five years ago I came to Guangzhou with my parents and went to school. Because my father wants me to be a successful people. Before I came to Guangzhou I know nothing about it. I thought they must be very snobbery. But, one night in Xiajiu Road, I changed my view. That night there were so manypeople from other countries in Xiajiu Road. They were interested in nothing except shopping. A young woman wearing a long scarf looked like an Indian. She was shopping with her friend. Theywent to the shop to buy the clo-thes. The young women nodded the heads with her friend and talked something I didn’t know what she said, but I knew she wanted to buy this clothes. Then,she us-ed her body words to talked to the boss of the shop, and she bought it. The price is 35yuan, but she gave the boss 50yuan and went out. After about two minutes, the boss ran out and caught up with the young woman. He gave back the change,15 yuan to her. Oh, I know why so many people of the other countries come to Guangzhou.

It has many higbuildings, large mansions, beau-tiful flowers, verdant trees…When you gosightseeinginGuangzhou, you will feel comforta-ble. Sea food is the most famous food in Guangzhou. People all over Guangzhou like eating sea food—Crab.Crabs live in the sea, it’s meat is very fresh and tender. But it’s shell is very hard. You must have firm teeth, as firm as the ion. Some of Guangzhou people like eating roast crabs, some like fried crabs, some like steamed crabs… Different people eat crabs in different ways. They not only like crabs, theylike also other sea food: lobster, oyster… Then, the Guangzhou people eating habit is interesting. They have three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner, but some of people have four meals a day: breakfast, lunch, dinner and nighttime snack. They usually eat morning tea, have pastry with friends for their breakfast, they always eat rice, meat, fish, vegetable and delicious soup for lunch and dinner. For nighttime snack, they usually eat porridge, wonton, fried noodles… This is the eating habit ofGuangzhou people! Furthermore, they also like the city flower of Guangzhou : kapok. Kapok’s petal is red, and its seeds can be made into pillows. We call kapok trees “Hero Tree”, kapok is Hero Flower. They mean Guangzhou people are like heroes and heroines, they are bra-ve and strong. When spring is coming, we cansee the kapok flowers all over the city.They decorate Guangzhou more beautiful. W.Bruce Lincoln said:” Americans and Europeans greeted the twentieth century in the proud and certain, belief that next hundred years would make all things possible.” I’m sure Guangzhou people greet the next year in proud and certain, greet beau-tiful future.
