My Second Hometown


Yinchuan City, My Second Hometown

Yinchuan City, the capital of Ningxia Autonomous region is a beautiful city, my second hometown. First of all, It's weather is suit for everybody. In summer, the highest temperature is 35ºC(centigrade), the lowest temperature is -18ºC (centigrade). It only rains or snows on few days. In downtown, road is wide enough for 8 car parallel run, areas of green fields is 50% of urban landscape, more than 70 lakes are connected, and the water come from Yellow rive, after cycling the city, then return to yellow rive.therefore, living in the city you don't fell dry.
Yinchuan city's scene is fascinating, there are two 5A view spots and a famous mountain nearby the downtown,you can spend you holidays with you family. The mountain is Helan mountain, a famous mountain in china, has a long history, and many stories. Gonging to the mountain you can see many kind of wild animal, wild forest, large area grassland and different rock mountain.On the tops of the mountain,you can look out over the whole city, and take a picture is thrilling.
The city has multiculture, It has been the capital of Xixia kingdom that had 198 years history, is becoming the hometown of the Hui nationality, is the capital of a province ,now. Different culture has different customers, bring local specific culture,habits and customs and dialect.There is broadcast channel that is speaking dialect named Haxixi. It's interesting to listen in the channel.
The city has rich products.The industrial products are coal, oil, agricultural products are rice, liquorice and china wolf berry that is the best in china. Also, it's the Chinese Arabian culture and trade exchange centre.
For the reason CNPC(China National Petroleum corporation) would built a oil refinery, I have been the city for 3 years, and I liked it when I arrived in the city, like it's mountain, streets,lakes,grasslands, rives and local peoples. Now, the project will be end,I don't want leave the city, most of my workmates are reluctant to leave it. therefore I think Yinchuan city is my second hometown.

  1. The weather sounds pretty similar to Calgary, though we don't get quite that hot in the summer! When I think of China, I tend to think of the famous cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong), so it's interesting to read about cities in other provinces.
