Original:

The G20 Summit is held in Hangzhou now. Hangzhou is a beautiful city that many immigrants adore it and choose to settle down. There is a saying, Up above there is heaven, down below there are Suzhou and Hangzhou, describing its beauty. If we perceive Shanghai as a modern girl, Hangzhou is a definitely typical gentle maiden. Living in Shanghai is stressful, contrarily, in Hangzhou it is relaxing.

I used to go to Hangzhou with my grandparents. We all love West Lake very much. West Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides which makes air there fresh and clean. Water in the lake is clear that we can see fishes chasing with each other. In the spring and summer, blooming flowers grace the lake. And in the winter, snow covering the bridges and roads make a silver world.
