In Chengdu, tea culture has developed into the Chengdu-featured (特色的) tea house culture. There is a saying about Chengdu tea houses: You could see more tea houses than sunny days. Why are the tea houses in Chengdu so popular? It is because of their functions (功能) for business as well as relaxing.
Generally, there are bamboo desks and bamboo chairs in the tea houses. People in Chengdu love tea houses, because they love chatting. In their free time, they often have a cup of tea and a piece of cake, watch actors perform traditional arts, talk and laugh with people in the tea houses.
The tea they use is usually green tea. They use northern Gaiwan as tea sets. When the tea service master pours water into the Gaiwan, you will see the water falling into Gaiwan, with a lively sound. In a moment, water stops. Then look at the Gaiwan. The water in it is just at the level of the Gaiwan's mouth, without a drip (水滴) on the desk. This is a unique (独特的) skill, as well as an art.

Great Changes Around Me
In the past few years, great changes have taken place around me. The roads used to be narrow and crowded. The houses were old and small. The air wasn't fresh enough and the river was polluted badly.
Nowadays, the roads are wide and clean and we can choose different kinds of transportation to go anywhere. Lots of tall buildings have been built in the city. Most of us have moved to big beautiful houses. The sky is blue and the cloud is white. The birds are singing happily. My hometown looks like a big garden with green trees, grass and colorful flowers.
I'm sure as time goes on, our life will become better and better!
