Changzhi, Shanxi in the eyes of a southerner, is a garden city that is by no means inferior to the southern city.

I went to Shanxi again during the May Day holiday, but unfortunately I didn't have time to go to Changzhi, the city where I studied in college for four years. I thought of writing Changzhi again because I met a friend in Yuci, Jinzhong on the train. He was very envious of me after hearing that I had lived in Changzhi for four years. He said that Changzhi is a famous garden city in China. Of all the cities in Shanxi, Changzhi has the best climate. I am convinced.

Changzhi is a garden city. There are many parks in the city, and the greening is particularly good. The most visited are Binhe Park and Taihang Park. Riverside park is very close. On weekends, many old people take their children and fish and play in the river. There are also many grandfathers who chat and exercise in different places. I don't quite understand what they are talking about. I have never learned Changzhi dialect, but I only know that the old man is a husband.

How about Taihang Park? I have been there many times. This park seems to be the largest in Luzhou area. In this park, the commanding height is a tower. I took some photos there. Every evening, there are many people in Taihang Park, some are playing chess, some are strolling, and there are mutton skewers at the door. Of course, I can only think about it now and I can't go back.

Some people say that Changzhi is too small to hold many dreams. I don't agree. We are all ordinary people. Changzhi has mountains and water. Behind the school are Laodingshan, Taihang Mountain and Laodingshan Forest Park. I climb almost several times a week. If you ever met a young man climbing a mountain with a camera, it might be me. Laodingshan has changed a lot in recent years. Built a viewing platform and a plank road. Of course, the plank road is missing some wood, which is easy to trample. I don't know if it is installed now.

Whenever the sun sets, standing under the statue of Emperor Yan, Zhangze Reservoir in the distance is vaguely in sight, like a crystal jewel, shining not far away. What impressed me most about Laoding Mountain is that when I climb it in the morning or at night, I can often hear loud songs, full of northerners' hearty and open-minded. After a long time, it still ripples in my heart.

I have been to the Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon in Huguan twice, which is really an unforgettable scenery. I used to like painting. I know that many painters in the past dynasties like to hide in the Taihang Mountains every time there is a war. For example, Hao Jing, a master of northern landscape, a figure in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, lived in seclusion in Honggu Mountain not far from the Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon in Huguan. No matter how majestic the Taihang Mountain in the painting is, it is better to go to the field to see the shock. 5A scenic spot is well deserved.

Changzhi is not as green as the northern city, just as a friend of Yuci said, Changzhi is really a garden city, warm in winter and cool in summer, suitable for living.
