When we talk about spring, we think of a season of warm weather and fresh air. We also think of new life, green plants, and budding trees all around us. Spring is short in many places around the world. But in my hometown, it feels like spring nearly all year round.

The weather here is neither too hot nor too cold. The average temperature in winter is 15℃. In summer, the average temperature is 24℃. While the sun is shining, the temperature remains pleasant. The city gets about 2,250 hours of sunshine and about 1,000 millimetres of rain every year. Because the weather is spring-like, you can find hundreds of beautiful flowers and trees all year. 

There are many famous scenic spots in my hometown. The Stone Forest is a must-see for tourists from home and abroad. There are many special rocks that look like tall stone trees. The Dianchi Lake is the biggest in Yunnan Province. You can enjoy the beauty of the area and go boating or take a walk by the water.

Can you guess the name of my hometown? Yes, it’s Kunming—the Spring City. Welcome to my hometown. When you visit, you will feel our warmth and friendliness, just like spring!
