I was born and grew up in a city settled in west China, named Chengdu. As one of the most important cities in west China, Chengdu has experienced a dramatically rapid development these years due to the policy of Development of Western China, established by the central government. While being much more modernized day by day, still, there is something to which people in Chengdu have to pay attention. From my point of view, one of them is the protection of historical resorts. With a history of over three thousand years, Chengdu is very famous for its traditional and historical culture. For example, as the capital city of kingdom Shu during the time of Three Kingdoms, there are many temples and shrines left from that time telling us how prosperous this city used to be. Also, there are streets and houses built in Ming and Qing Dynasty in which still live people today. All of them are the witnesses of our history and they should be well protected. Secondly, these historic resorts are attractive to tourists. An investigation suggested that, every year, millions of tourists from other provinces and other countries come to visit Chengdu and they contribute a lot to the annual GDP of this city. Thus, tourism has become one of the key industries of Chengdu. As most of the tourism come for the traditional culture here, those historical resorts have become a unique point in the tourism industry of Chengdu. To protect them well, on the other hand, can reinforce the attraction of our city and also, is benefit to the fiscal revenue of the city. Last, the reason for which I believe we should pay attention to the protection of the historical resorts is that some of them have already been damaged and still lots of them are in danger. According to a government report of last year, 2 main historic streets in Chengdu, which have a history dates back to Ming Dynasty, have disappeared due to the expansion of real estate industry and 30 percent of the historic temples of Kingdom Shu are experiencing erosion from the polluted environment in different extents. It is the high time we should be aware that we shall lose those pressures if the trend continues. Thus, the protection of those historical resorts is rather crucial. We love our cities, not only because it is modernized, but also the history and culture of our city with which we grew up. We enjoy those amazing sights left by our ancestors, and n ow, we have to consider, what we should give to our posterities. 口语附件怎么传阿?
