Evan's travel book
埃文的旅行书
(南通海安市)
Evan's favourite city is Yangzhou. Now he is making a travel book about it.
· ① The four seasons here are very beautiful. My favourite one is spring. It is warm and rainy. Many people come to see the Chinese peony and Viburnum(琼花). They are both the city flowers of Yangzhou. In autumn, people usually go camping in the parks. What about summer and winter? Come and have a look!

· ② You'll see many beautiful gardens in Yangzhou, like Slender West Lake, Geyuan Garden, Ho Family Garden and so on. Geyuan Garden is one of the most famous gardens in China. It got the name because the leaves on the tip of a bamboo branch look like the Chinese character "Ge(个)". There are four hills in the garden. They mean the four seasons. The stones of the hills are from four different places.
· ③ To travel around the city, you can take the bus. You can travel by taxi too. Maybe there will be the metro in this city some day. Let's wait and see!

埃文的旅行书

一本关于它的旅行书。

春天。天气温暖多雨。很多人来看芍药和琼
花。它们都是扬州的市花。秋天,人们通常去
公园露营。夏天和冬天呢?过来看看!
·园林 在扬州,你会看到许多美丽的园
林,如瘦西湖、个园、何园等。个园是中国最有
名的园林之一。它之所以得名,是因为竹枝顶
端的叶子看起来像汉字"个"。园林里有四座
山。它们表示四季。山上的石头来自四个不同
的地方。

汽车。你也可以乘出租车旅行。也许有一天这
个城市会有地铁。让我们拭目以待!
