Some people like tall buildings, and traffic across the metropolis; some people like small bridges and flowing water, the gentle dream of Jiangnan water town; some people like the beautiful scenery, the charming scenery of the seaside city; others like the quiet and peaceful, mountain foggy village. And I like the four seasons' evergreen hometown - the green city of Nanning.

Nanning's spring is the messenger of the dawn of spring when the northern scenery is still wandering in the north of the Yellow River, Nanning early in the spring breeze is green and lush.

You see, the tender grass has long felt the call of the spring breeze, and can't wait to poke out their heads, as if saying: "Good morning, Miss Spring!" So, Miss Spring smiled and gave the grass a green and tender yellow coat. The willow tree woke up, looked in the mirror, and under the light breeze of spring, combed its hair, the greener and greener it was, the more lovely it was! The bushes and flowers are also awake as if in a hurry, like a lively and lovely elf, opening their smiling faces to welcome the moment of recovery. Small swallows are falling on the branches of the trees, singing and calling out to their friends, they are playing the hymn of spring, adding a lot of spring interest. The spring breeze in February was like a pair of scissors, cutting out the green silhouette, which has become my unforgettable memory so far.

Nanning's summer was hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot. When the northern country is still wearing a thin coat in the morning and evening, the "summer brother" joyful childishness and greenery in the sound of frogs passed away.

Look, the little dragonfly spreads its wings in the rhythm of summer, keeps dancing in the blue water, lightly nodding a few times, like a graceful and noble ballet girl standing up on her toes, intoxicated in the dazzling stage, sometimes bending down to appreciate their beautiful posture, and sometimes holding their heads high, stretching their arms. Only when it is tired, does it stand firmly on the tip of the small lotus, listening to the warm applause of the audience? There, the budding lotus is like a little sister hiding behind the curtain of green lotus leaves and seems to have long sensed the arrival of its "summer brother", "holding the lotus leaf and half covering its face", shyly, so that people can't help but want to bend down and kiss the pink petals and smell The fragrance of the flowers. When a breeze blows, the pink lotus flowers dance against the turquoise lotus leaves. Oh! What could be more enchanting than this "Green Summer Dance"? Even the robins in the trees are excited to play music to it.

Nanning's autumn seems to be especially fond of "summer brother", is not a "summer brother" a domesticated pet? It enjoys the "summer brother" naughty and pampered.

Do not believe? Look, the sun is shining high in the blue sky, and sometimes a few white clouds float by to play hide-and-seek with the wind, and children are greedily licking the ice cream, enjoying the refreshing cold. The lentil trees and mango trees grandfather's superb sun umbrella, still for passers-by to shade the scorching sun, but the bright green umbrella more colorful, umbrella lentil mangoes have long fallen out. Only the arrival of autumn rain let the children feel a touch of autumn coolness, but the little girls are still wearing beautiful dresses and stealing the fun!

The winter in Nanning is warm and subtropical, making the climate suitable for Grandpa Big Tree. The winter in the south can't help but make visitors wonder if the green angels are here forever.

Look, the lentil tree and grandpa mango tree are still holding their posts. Although they are not so dense anymore, the inky green color all over the street is still a unique scenery under the sun's illumination, still giving people a sense of vitality and vigor. The sun was poking its head out, warmly touching the children with smiling faces. The wind, too, seems to be not very strong, just telling people here to change into winter clothes. It didn't take long for Chinese red to cover the streets and alleys, the streets were still lined with green trees, and the natural mix of red and green did not look abrupt, a festive send-off for winter.

Nanning's year-round, the lack of this unique color. Green City Nanning, is true to its name! Remaining in my memories of growing up, only the unchanging Green City.
