枫泾古镇Fengjing Ancient Town|my beautiful hometown

 Hello Steemitians,各位朋友好！

Today it would be an honor and opportunity for me to show you around my beautiful hometown,Fengjing ancient town where i was born and living for over 28 years.

今天很荣幸有机会带大家认识参观下我美丽的家乡——枫泾古镇。我在那里出生并且生活了将近28年。

Fengjing ancient town has a very long history of 1500years,and is located at Jinshan District in the southern west of Shanghai.Its a typical watery town in the southern Yangtze,and famous for many bridges and rivers.

枫泾古镇已有1500年的悠久历史，坐落于上海西南地区的金山区，被称为典型的江南水乡小镇，著有“三步两座桥，一望十条港”之称。 

At the town,its very old and quiet.The houses alongside the river always make me remember the moments aas i was living there for a long time.

小镇上非常古朴安静，看着河岸上的这种房子，会勾起我曾经的记忆，因为我在这里居住了很长一段时间。 

when i was smaller,my mother often did some washings beside the river.i also went swimming with some friends in summer. sometimes we saw lots of fish &shrimp swimming with us.what happy time it was!

在我小时候，我妈妈经常在河里洗菜洗碗洗衣服。夏天的时候我和小伙伴们还经常在河里游泳，有时河里的小鱼小虾也跟随我们一起游。多么快乐的时光啊！

Till now,mang locals still  live at the town.its filled with strong breath of life that the town has bridges,rivers and the locals.

直至如今，小镇上依然有很多原住民，真正的“小桥流水人家”，充满着温馨的生活气息。

Although the house is a little old,and the balcony is simple and crude，we could see the real life here.the locals often have tea,chatting,fishing,and enjoy the sight nearby&time of quiet.

这个房子虽然有点旧，阳台有点简陋，但是这就是镇上很真实的生活，喝茶，聊天，钓鱼，看看风景，岁月静好。

the tourists always enjoy the scenery of river by boat.

通常游客们喜欢坐小船游览两岸的风景。 

foreign tourists are also enjoying the time at the town.

还有外国游客也来游玩哦~

one old book store is run by a hairdresser. 

小镇上一家旧书店，同时老板还是一名理发师哦。 

these food couldn't be missed when im at home back.we could see that rice dumplings with yolk and pork is finished and cooked in the water.its yummy!

小镇上的特色美食是不容错过的哦，热腾腾的蛋黄肉粽，现包现烧的，是我每次回去都要吃的食物。 

Ha Ma toasted is a very speical dish at the town.

还有一道最具野味的熏拉丝是古镇特色菜，吃起来满口烟火气，特别好吃哟。 

there are many coffee and desert shops along the river,you could have a break when you feel tired.

沿着河岸还有很多咖啡甜品店，逛累了可以坐下来歇一会儿~
