MY HOMETOWN
My hometown is on Tibetan highlands. It is at an elevation higher than 3000 metres above sea-level. Snow mountains surround it. There are beautiful views in the different seasons. It is part of Kham. My hometown is Ganzi.
There are many Tibetans living in Ganzi. They are hospitable and friendly people. Ganzi is a rich source of Tibetan culture, and the children like to study Tibetan language and literature. There are also many famous temples in Ganzi. Many nomads live on the high grasslands. Meat, butter, cheese and tsamba are their foods. Their treasures are from horses, yaks and sheep. The boundless grasslands are the basis of their lives. The farmers in Ganzi are never afraid of the spring winds, summer rain, autumn winds or winter cold. They do farm work everyday, and in order to improve their lives, they send their children to study.
In a word, I like Ganzi very much, because it is so beautiful a place. I hope many travellers can visit there in the future, because there are many magical places and people are very friendly.
