My hometown, Weifang, borders Yimeng Mountain to the south and Bohai Bay to the north. It is full of beautiful bells and colorful colors.
On the flying field, colorful kites were flying in the blue sky, free, free and easy, full of hope and high morale. Thousands of silk threads carry the enthusiasm from all over the world, exaggerating the vitality of Weifang. The name Weifang is also famous all over the world along with the kite.
The sky is vast for flying, and the sky in Weifang is boiling with enthusiasm. The miniature gardens are the most beautiful in the world, including the "Shihu Garden", the pearl of East Shandong. It has been famous since ancient times for its bamboos and clear water, winding pavilions and anecdotes of famous people. It is like a history book that people can read hundreds of times; it is also like a cup of pure wine, the more you taste it, the more delicious it becomes.
Kites are the eyes of Weifang, and Bailang River and Zhangmian River are the faces of Weifang. The summer is lush and bright, the spring is fragrant and fragrant, the autumn leaves are floating, and the winter snow is as delicate as pear blossoms. "There are fish and fine rocks swimming in the river, so crystal clear that you can see the bottom", and the green waves on the shore are full of life. Looking around, it looks like a piece of fresh gouache painting, making people feel refreshing, comfortable and warm. A newspaper once wrote "Beautiful Scenery": "Kite City has a good reputation, with dancing phoenixes and dragons painting rainbows in the sky..." The words are short but sentimental, so sincere and beautiful.
Weifang people not only look up at the sky, but also lower their heads to take folk tourism. The Qianli Folk Tourism Line represented by Yangjiabu, the city park area represented by Fuhua Amusement Park, the entertainment tourism area represented by Qingyun Mountain Folk Amusement Park, the sightseeing tourism area represented by Qingzhou Linqu Humanities and Natural Landscape, Shouguang Vegetable and The agricultural eco-tourism area represented by Qingzhou Flowers, the special tourist area represented by Linqu Strange Stones and Changle Sapphire... all of these are like wonderful articles, decorating people's lives and splendidly beautiful years.
Weifang is making strides forward, innovating in harmony. You see, the fountains in the square are all happy. The water-filled nozzles can no longer suppress the joy in their hearts. With a pop, the water columns are sprayed into waterfalls, like a high-spirited and enterprising song, flowing straight from the ground. Sing to the clouds. The hearty laughter, like the beating notes on the staff, filled the air, rippled on everyone's face, and spread to the ends of the earth with the kite!
Weifang is a colorful book, writing a new chapter every day! New kites are flying higher every day!

My hometown is the famous kite capital - Weifang, also known as the "Kite City". It is a good place with beautiful scenery, rich products and outstanding people.
Every April 20th, the annual kite festival will be held as scheduled in my hometown. Kite enthusiasts and players from all over the world gather here. At this time, the kites are decorated with lights and colorful decorations. With the beating of gongs and drums, there is a joyful scene everywhere. Zheng Banqiao, the magistrate of Weixian County at that time, once left a message: "Paper flowers are flying all over the sky like snow, and charming girls are swinging around. The five-color skirts are swinging in the wind, so that the butterflies will return in spring." The origin of Weifang kites is Yangjiabu, where it can be said that Hidden dragon and crouching tiger. My father once took me to see the kite-making process. Don’t underestimate the kite-making process. It is not sloppy at all. From the cutting and baking of bamboo strips to the paper mounting and painting, everything requires meticulous work. Every completed work must undergo a successful test flight before it can be considered completed. Then it is sold all over the world.
Weifang People's Park may be the earliest park in Weifang City. It was founded in 1951. It was originally a municipal park with closed management mainly for ornamental animals and plants. In order to adapt to the requirements of urban development and further improve the quality of cultural life of the people, in 2004, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government decided to transform the People's Park. The renovation project was started from September 2004 to 2005 in line with the principles of utilizing original ecological resources, using modern gardening techniques, highlighting ecology and human nature, highlighting Weifang's historical and cultural heritage, and highlighting the harmony and integration of man and nature. In May, except for the two gardens in the garden (Chinese style garden and Western style garden) that have not yet been completed, the main renovation content was basically completed, and the garden was opened on a trial basis during the "June 1st" in 2005. The renovated People's Park covers an area of ??13 hectares and is divided into three entrances and exits (south entrance, north entrance, west entrance), two landscape belts (stream landscape belt in the garden, riverside landscape belt), two gardens in the garden (Chinese garden). and Western-style garden), there are twelve scenic spots, mainly including: Diecui, Tianqu Garden, Mingxin Island, Zizaizhou, Fenglin, Liusha, Murong Terrace, Yuncheng, Tingxiangwu, Spring Scenic Area, Guizhen Garden, Yiyuan et al.
It is an open municipal park integrating leisure, entertainment, fitness, viewing and other functions. Following the principles of "mainly green, respecting nature, respecting history, protecting ecology, and highlighting characteristics", the People's Park has been transformed into an ecological, cultural and entertaining modern urban park and public green space, becoming The largest waterscape park in the city center. The renovation of People's Park covers a total area of ??130,000 square meters, starting from Minsheng Street in the north, Jianjian Street in the south, and Qingnian Road in the west. Relevant buildings within the scope will be demolished, and Bailang River water will be diverted into the park, focusing on the water system. Construct modern garden landscapes to high standards, carefully create small bridges, flowing water, lakes and pavilions, fountains, waterfalls, water stages and many other water system attractions, and comprehensively build Yingcui Island, water clouds, water garden, waterfront promenade, etc. Seven major scenic spots, totaling 16 major scenic spots. The three small islands in Bailang River will also be fully greened and beautified this time, and garden features will be built to create beautiful landscapes. At the same time, an arch bridge will be built on the island to connect the West Bank Park to the East Bank through the arch bridge, forming a "long bridge lying on the waves" landscape. Visitors can cross the Bailang River through the arch bridge to enjoy the scenery on both sides. In addition, it is necessary to carry out key lighting treatment on the main entrances and exits, leisure activity areas, landscape areas, water systems, etc., to create a brilliant, dreamlike and wonderful night scene. Weifang also has a famous mother river, the Bailang River. . It has nurtured us just like the Yellow River. The ancients once praised its great achievements and beauty with the words "a hundred sails are rippling and the waves are turning, and a river of pure milk moistens both banks." I don’t know when, sewage flowed across the Bailang River, the stench was overwhelming, and it lost its former charm. In recent years, the municipal government has renovated the Bailang River and restored its beauty and clarity.
There is also a historic site in Weifang, the "Shihu Garden". This garden was built in the Ming Dynasty and has a style similar to Suzhou gardens. The book once recorded that the scenery of Shihu Garden is "climbing up the stairs, 'the mountain path is rugged, with jagged rocks, and the mountains are mixed with pines and cypresses, which are evergreen all year round and do not wither through the winter." This shows the unique scenery of Shihu Garden.
The specialty product that is as famous as kites is Weifang's radish. "If you eat radish and drink tea, the doctor will be angry all over the street." This just shows the benefits of eating radish. But the main difference of Weifang radish is its taste, which is crisp and delicious, slightly sweet and slightly spicy. There is a folk saying that "Yantai Apple Laiyang Pear is not as good as Weifang's radish skin." This is enough to illustrate the deliciousness of Weifang radish.
I love my hometown and this place that makes people forget to leave. I believe that every Weifang person will be proud of his hometown.

Anyone familiar with Weifang knows that Dongfeng Street is the most charming street in the "Kite City". It runs through the city center and is the image street of Weifang. In recent years, it has become more and more beautiful. It is like the beating notes on the strings, telling the endless love of all Weifang people for Weifang.
In the past, the road on Dongfeng Street was very narrow, with no guardrail in the middle. There were hawking stalls and vendors on both sides. There were saplings planted on the roadside, and the street lights were low and gave off dim light. Nowadays, the annual kite festival has brought about great changes in the city's appearance and the development of kite culture, and Dongfeng Street has also changed its old appearance into a new one. With the several widenings and renovations of Dongfeng Street, it has become more and more beautiful and charming. The spacious road is clean and spotless, and the flower beds on the roadside are filled with colorful flowers. The street trees on both sides of the road, the French plane trees, provide shade for pedestrians in the hot summer.
Newly paved and widened sidewalks on both sides of the road bring safety and comfort to pedestrians. In particular, the barrier-free blind path running through the center of the sidewalk brings great convenience to blind people who have difficulty walking. A guardrail has been erected in the middle of the road to separate vehicles and avoid traffic jams caused by crowded vehicles. It's a busy scene during the day with lots of traffic.
The night is beautiful again. Apart from the hustle and bustle of the day, there are tall buildings on both sides and shining neon lights, making the entire Dongfeng Street colorful and extremely enchanting. Yaxing Bridge spans the Bailang River and is a shining pearl on Dongfeng Street. On a dazzling night, the colorful lights on the Yaxing Bridge change, reflecting the colorful reflections on the Bailang River. It is really a unique charm. If you can walk on the bridge at this time, you will really feel like someone is swimming in the middle of the painting. Whenever the annual "Kite Festival" comes, the beautiful Dongfeng Street will be dressed up like a bride to be married, attracting many Chinese and foreign tourists to see its beauty.
Thanks to the city’s beauticians, sanitation workers and all the builders of “Kite City”. Their hard work and sweat have created the charming charm of Dongfeng Street today.
I also secretly made up my mind to study hard, learn skills, and build my hometown, the "Kite City", into a more beautiful and rich place! I love Weifang Kite City!
