A 600-word essay on the changes in Qingliu

My hometown is Qingliu, a small county with beautiful scenery. The mountains and rivers here are beautiful and the scenery is pleasant. It is known as the "Pearl of the Mountains" and the "Inland Gulangyu Island". A poet once praised her full of praise: "Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the exquisite peninsula is cleverly formed by itself."

Qingliu has long been famous for its eight ancient sceneries: "The East China Sea is majestic and the green peaks are like a screen; the South Pole is soaring with dragons and the white clouds are rolling; the West Bridge has beautiful shadows and the flute is flying; the people in the North Crossing are enjoying themselves and playing in a solitary boat Waves -------" These poems praising the clear scenery throughout the ages are like beautiful and melodious pieces of music, echoing the heart-stirring chants of pure girls in the Longjin River.

Yes, when I was a child, the Longjin River was so clear! The jasper is like a ribbon, with thousands of waves, birds perching on the branches, and fish jumping lightly on the water. On both sides of the river bank, there are several weeping willow trees, showing off their beautiful long hair, dancing gracefully in the wind, so passionate and beautiful. A few particularly long branches look as if they are about to dip their hands into the water and draw ripples on the calm water.

If it rains lightly, my friends and I always like to hold the freshly picked lotus leaves and lie on the edge of the bridge, quietly listening to the chorus of rain and birdsong, without paying any attention to the distant scenery. I heard my mother's voice calling.

In recent years, Qingliu has become more beautiful. As the clarion call of the county party committee and government to revitalize Qingliu is sounded, the urban area has become bigger, and all industries in the charming mountain city are prosperous; the industry has become stronger, and the characteristic economy has been revitalized; the environment has been improved, and the ecologically strong county is planted with sycamore trees to attract phoenixes.

The clear stream changes every day, and tall buildings rise from the ground. The 23-story Jinding Building stands on the bank of Longjin River as a landmark building of Qingliu. New landscapes such as Longjin International Hotel, Automobile City, Beishan New Town, and Yanta Community are born one after another, which is dizzying and exciting. The mountain town adds to the splendor. The clear stream in the night is even more enchanting. There are roads on both sides of the river, and trees are planted on both sides of the road. Next to the trees are rows of colorful landscape lights that come on or off. Strolling along the landscaped avenue by the river, looking at the lanterns reflected in the river, stroking the flowers and plants everywhere, and smelling the scent of osmanthus brought by the wind, it feels like a fairyland.

However, the beautiful clear stream also has its disadvantages. Due to real estate development everywhere, many large trucks were busy transporting soil, scattering a lot of soil on the road. When the wind blew, the loess flew everywhere, turning the beautiful clear stream into a "yellow-faced woman". After the heavy rain, the yellow mud was washed into the river, and the river water was no longer clear.

I see it in my eyes and am anxious in my heart. I sincerely hope that while we are building our hometown, we can care for and protect the environment and avoid soil erosion and environmental deterioration. I appeal: "The clear stream becomes more and more beautiful, because you and I are working hard."
