It was a small village in the past. Later it became bigger and busier. Now its streets are much wider and cleaner. There are more and more tall buildings too. In my eyes, the way of life in Dalian has a lot to do with the sea. Firstly, people love to spend time on the beach in summer. It’s really enjoyable in cool water in hot days. So if you come here in summer, take your swimming clothes because you may want to go swimming in the sea! Secondly, people love to eat seafood all year round. When there are visitors at home, there must be lots of seafood in the meals. In one word, I love my home town! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
