#62 place

b     I have travelled to a lot of place both in China and several other countries. Every place has its own distinguish feature that attracts me a lot,; however, if someone ask me which place is my favorite, I will choose Shanghai, my hometown without any hesitation.

     I lived in Shanghai for almost 18 years, and I really this metropolitan, this is the place accompanied with my growth. Shanghai is developing in such a rapidly pace in these 20 years. I still remember the environment when I was just a primary school student. I lived in a apartment which is allocated by father’s company, that is a lot of kids in that building; since our parents knew each other, we were also very familiar with each other and we even studied in the same primary school near our home. The life at that time was worriless.

     Times fleet, soon I become a junior high school student, and we moved our house to a high-level building which is near to my high school. The life is changing dramatically. There are more and more tall building in those year. Originally the highest building in Shanghai is Oriental Pearl Tower, but then is the Jinmao Building, and now is the Shanghai World International Financial Center, which is the third highest building in the World. Fortunately, I can see all this three building thorough my home’s window, it’s really exciting to see more and more brand new high-rise building appeared.

     I love this fast developing city, although the life in Shanghai is in quick pace, but also high quality. People there are passionate and creative. Now I’m missing this beautiful city, and I am looking forward to see its improvement in this one year.
