My hometown, Yu County, is located in the northwest of Hebei Province and south of Zhangjiakou. My hometown has a long history, simple folk customs, many specialty snacks, special delicacies, dried and fresh fruits, and many places of interest. It is a beautiful place.

The most common ones on the streets here are some food stalls. There are several on one street. Among them, tartary buckwheat glutinous rice is the most nutritious and is deeply loved by people in Yu County. Those who sell tartary buckwheat glutinous rice push a cart and bring a pot of "pickled vegetables" (mostly yellow mustard greens and shredded mustard greens), a bucket of salt water, and some tartary buckwheat noodles. When someone wants to buy tartary buckwheat glutinous rice, the seller will skillfully grab a bag of tartary buckwheat glutinous rice and put it in a bowl, pour salt water on it, and then eat it. As for the "rotten pickles" in the basin, eat more and eat less, and the buckwheat glutinous rice seller never cares. Eating a bowl of tartary buckwheat glutinous rice on a hot summer day will make you want to eat it again. It's very refreshing, and of course it's also very satisfying.
In my hometown, flowers are blooming every year in the first month of the year. Beating tree flowers means turning iron into molten iron with a temperature of more than 1,200 degrees. The performer puts on special clothes and a special hat, and uses a willow wooden spoon to throw the molten iron onto the cold city wall. The molten iron hits the city wall. Thousands of golden flowers bloom like a lush tree, hence the name "tree flower".
Nanzhangzhuang Village in our county has a national intangible cultural heritage - paper-cutting. The windows of every house in the village are decorated with colorful, lifelike paper-cuts of various shapes, also called window grilles, which are carved on paper with a knife.
I love my beautiful hometown and welcome everyone to my hometown!
