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.

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。

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。

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~
