South Lake (Chinese: 南湖; pinyin: Nán Hú) is a scenic lake located in the South of Jiaxing City, China, and covers an area of 0.54 km². It is also known as "Mandarin Duck Lake", due to the lake's shape, and is a frequent destination of tourists and sightseers.Alongside the lake are the ruins of the Misty Rain Tower, which was built in the 10th century. In 1548 AD, during the Ming Dynasty, the local government dredged the waterways and piled up the mud into the center of South Lake, forming an islet. The Misty Rain tower was rebuilt on the islet the next year. In the following years, a group of ancient garden-style architectures emerged around it.The first national congress of the Communist Party of China was transferred from Shanghai to Jiaxing in 1921 and the final agenda was carried out in a pleasure boat on South Lake. The birth of the party was declared here. It is therefore considered by the Chinese to be one of the most important sacred places of the revolution.南湖旧称鸳鸯湖，简称鸳湖，位于浙江省嘉兴市城南，水域面积约41.6万平方米，水深约2到5米，是浙江省三大名湖之一。湖中有一湖心小岛，岛上有一烟雨楼，是赏湖观景的绝佳去处。1921年8月2日，中国共产党第一次全国代表大会在南湖的一艘丝网船上完成了大会的议程，并宣布中国共产党成立。此后，南湖被中共视为中国的革命发祥地。

I live in a small town. In the past ten years, great changes have take place in my hometown. In the past, people lived a terrible life. They used to live in old houses. Rubbish can be seen everywhere and the environment was polluted. The transportation was not convenient and there were few visitors. At present, things are greatly changed. People have moved into big bright houses. Many people have their own cars and they are living a happier life. People pay more attention to the environmental protection. The mountains are becoming greener, water much cleaner. They enjoy a clearer sky. As a result, many visitors come here to spend their holidays. I love my hometown. I hope it will become more and more beautiful.
