Well, Fuzhou is a middle-sized city as Chinese cities go,    in spite ofits 6 0r 7 million
inhabitants. Fuzhou is located only 30 kilometers from the ocean, and it is surrounded by
mountains. As a result, it is a very pleasant place to live. Because we live in Southern
China, the weather here is pretty nice (= quite nice) all year round. Even in the winter
the temperatures are quite mild. Fuzhou has been developing a lot, and recently the city
has been expanding every year. Although Fuzhou is an ancient city, it looks quite modern
nowadays. There are many skyscrapers, and new shopping malls, as well as large streets in
the city center. There is an old quarter with old buildings and architecture, but it is being
renovated at the moment. In addition, the food here is excellent. There are quite a few parks
and temples for tourists to visit. I think the city is definitely worth a visit. It's typically
Chinese: it's a mix of ancient and contemporary (= modern).
