Li Guozhi, Class 51, Wusan Primary School, Linze County, Gansu Province My hometown is located in the middle section of the Hexi Corridor, where the ancient Silk Road must pass - Jin Zhangye.

The land here is fertile, shaded by jade trees, and it is an oasis in the desert. It is rich in mineral resources, has unique natural resources, many scenic spots and historic sites, and rich local products.

It is not only an industrial and agricultural development base, but also a good place for leisure tourism.

Jinzhangye is an ancient city with history. There was a famous saying, "A luminous cup of grape wine will prompt you to drink with a pipa immediately" to praise the luminous Huaihe wine produced in Jinzhangye.

Nowadays, Jin Zhangye’s specialties are not just these.

In recent years, a large amount of investment has been put into the production of liquor, and the liquor produced here has long been famous far and wide.

In the past, Zhangye mainly relied on agriculture to develop its economy. The types of agricultural and sideline products grown by people were very single and the market prices were relatively low, which could not bring greater economic benefits to farmers. Today, Zhangye is rich in special products and has a wide variety of crops. The main special products are: Lin

Red dates, Minle garlic, apple pear, white melon.

Farmland is mainly planted with cash crops: corn, tomatoes, peppers, cotton, hops, Chinese medicinal materials, and vegetables, all of which can bring great economic benefits.

Not many people knew about Zhangye's famous places such as the Great Buddha Temple, the Great Wall, the Black Fruit Ruins, the Drum Tower, Shandan Horse Farm, and the Horseshoe Temple. There were also very few people visiting these places, not to mention the few foreign tourists, and the locals knew how to appreciate them.

Very few.

Nowadays, many foreign tourists are attracted to come here for tourism and consumption. As people's knowledge increases, more and more local people go to visit.

My grandparents often say that in the past, there were only one or two decent roads in Zhangye City, and there were not many shops. The buildings were mainly bungalows. There were not many decent cars on the roads anymore, and people were rushing into the city.

There were horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts, and there were no decent entertainment venues, squares, or parks in the city.

Nowadays, with the pace of reform and opening up, there are many high-rise buildings here, and on the spacious and straight roads, high-end cars and cars come and go. People go to the streets either by driving, self-driving automatic cars, or taking buses. Shops are located one by one, and people can communicate freely.

The market is lively and extraordinary.

In the past few years, a large central square was built. Adults go there every day to exercise and watch artistic performances. Children go there to play ball and play. The government also organizes various large-scale public welfare activities here.

A new park and green city have been built, making the whole city more prosperous and beautiful.

I heard that rural areas in the past were very backward. Not many people had been to the city, and not many people had taken high-end cars or trains. People did not have many household appliances at home. They dressed very simply and ate only steamed buns, porridge, pickles, and tobacco.

Meat is only eaten during the holidays, and there is no washing powder for washing. Everything is very rudimentary.

Nowadays, rural areas have changed a lot. Household appliances are all available, which are both convenient and practical. People spend their leisure time shopping, eating four dishes and one soup, big fish and meat, wearing famous brands, and some daily necessities are imported.

Take the children for example: the money given to them during the New Year has increased, the toys are also in weird shapes, and there are all kinds of extracurricular reading materials and learning tools.

People's quality of life has been greatly improved.

My hometown has experienced development and changes from generation to generation. It has now become a modern and beautiful city. It is still developing and changing. I believe that it will become more prosperous and powerful in the future. I love my hometown. I

I will study hard and make my greatest contribution to the changes in my hometown in the future.
