Write an essay about your reflection after leaving home.

My hometown is in the beautiful Chengdu City, Sichuan Province.

Chengdu is a place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. It has a long history and splendid culture. Wuhou Temple, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain are all world-famous tourist destinations. The Chinese New Year in Chengdu is also very lively.

Chengdu celebrates the New Year. On the eve of the New Year’s Eve, the whole family gathers together to have a New Year’s Eve dinner. There is a large table of particularly sumptuous delicacies. Everyone eats the delicious food and toasts to each other. I wish you good health, a sweet life, smooth work in the new year, and a smile on everyone’s face. Since Chengdu is located in the south of my country, there is no custom in the north of making dumplings on New Year's Eve. There is a custom of playing dragon lanterns in the first month of Chengdu to pray for a good harvest for farmers, industry and merchants in the coming year. The main contents of the dragon lantern include: dragon, lion, ox, Meimei colorful boat, etc., as well as the "lotus lantern" composed of young men and women. When I get up in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I first pay New Year greetings to my parents and eat glutinous rice balls for breakfast. From the first to the third day of the Lunar New Year, I have to "visit each other", that is, "drop in", usually to visit older and senior relatives and friends. When you leave the house, you should bring gifts such as noodles, chicken, wine and leaf tobacco (that is, tobacco leaves). During the day, you can go to the temple fair. There are all kinds of colorful lanterns at the temple fair that will dazzle you. The teahouses in Chengdu are also unique. Here you can play cards, listen to Sichuan opera, watch storytelling performances, and have fun with family and friends. gossip". After dinner in the evening, the whole family sat together to chat, talk, and watch wonderful TV programs. The whole family had a great time.

I love my hometown, I also love the traditional culture and history of my hometown, I love the picturesque scenery of my hometown, and I prefer to celebrate the New Year in my hometown!
