878. Hanzhong

The plane flew smoothly, not even a slight shaking was felt. Soon, the plane flew over Hanzhong.

"Hanzhong?"

Sun Jing's eyes widened.

Her home is Hanzhong, and he didn't even tell her, so he let the plane fly to Hanzhong.

"However, there is still ...... on the company's side."

"Isn't there still someone? Give more overtime pay, it's a big deal, just let your vice president and assistant worry more." You, just listen to me, go home, and have a good New Year with your uncle and aunt, you talk about you, you haven't been back for a few years. People who know know that you are going to be busy by yourself, but you don't know, and you still think that I am squeezing employees, so that my uncle and aunt will catch me and tear me apart. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said with a lick of his face.

"Go, your parents are like this, and they are still torn alive...... I'm still skinning it alive!"

Sun Jing was the same as him.

Zhou Fangyuan smiled.

"Don't talk about skinning it alive, you can eat it raw. ”

On the word "swallow raw", he also deliberately accentuated his tone. Sun Jing really understood in seconds, and immediately blushed and began to beat him.

So, the two started to play, but the plane had already begun to land in the direction of the airport, and it would land in ten minutes at most, so they only played a little and stopped.

Hanzhong, a prefecture-level city in Qin Province, referred to as "Han", was known as Nanzheng, Xingyuan, Liangzhou, and Tianhan in ancient times. It is located in the south of Qin Province, with the Qinling Mountains in the north, Pingba Mountain in the south, and the Hanzhong Plain in the middle.

Hanzhong City is named after the Han River, and has been known as "Tianhan" since ancient times. It has been rated as one of the top ten most beautiful towns in China and is known as the "hometown of the Han people". Hanzhong is the source of the Han River, the largest tributary of the Yangtze River, the largest city in southern Shaanxi, an important connecting hub of the Guanzhong-Tianshui Economic Zone and the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone, a necessary place from Rongcheng to Chang'an, and the main birthplace of the culture of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms.

Hanzhong has been praised as the "land of fish and rice" since ancient times, and it is also known as the "land of abundance". There are four treasures in Han: the crested ibis, the giant panda, the golden snub-nosed monkey and the takin. Hanzhong is known as the hometown of the panda, and there is the world's endangered bird, the "world's rare bird" - the crested ibis, so it is also known as the "hometown of the crested ibis".

Sun Jing's ancestral home is Hanzhong, of course, not only her, including her parents, does not live here, but there are houses here, and many distant relatives still live here. So every Chinese New Year, their family of three will go back to live here for a while, which can be regarded as the traditional education of not forgetting their hometown.

As for the two lives, Zhou Fangyuan has actually been to Hanzhong several times.

And what is very interesting is that he has come to Hanzhong many times, all of which are from his previous life.

Because when he was in college at that time, there were two classmates from Hanzhong in the dormitory next door. Because they get along well, when these two classmates get married, including during the holidays, he may be invited to travel here, so he is quite familiar with Hanzhong.

Hanzhong belongs to the northern subtropical climate zone, with two major barriers in the north of the Qinling Mountains and the Daba Mountains in the south, which is not easy for cold currents to invade and humid airflows to the north, and the climate is mild and humid, dry and wet.

In summer, under the influence of the subtropical high, water vapor from the Bay of Bengal moved northward along the southwest monsoon in the lower part of the SWV and reached over Tibet, Yunnan and northwest Sichuan. In winter, controlled by the cold air mass of the polar continent, the northwest monsoon is more, forming a cold, dry and rainy weather. Spring and autumn are the transitional seasons, with warm spring and little rain, cool and rainy autumn, and a humid climate. The water vapor evaporated in the space by ground vegetation, reservoirs, rivers, pastorals, etc., participates in precipitation very little. The warm and humid airflow from the southwest and southeast is blocked by the Bashan and Qinling Mountains, which makes the rainfall abundant in the area, but because the two mountains are located on the path of the southwest airflow, due to the convergence of the water vapor system of the middle and low-level cloud systems, as well as the topographic uplift and the vertical influence of the mountains, the water vapor in the north and south of the region is unequal, and the precipitation distribution is very different, and the average precipitation for many years is between 700~1700mm. Among them, the Micang Mountain in the south is the most abundant, becoming the crown of Shaanxi Province.

This is the climate dividing line between the north and south of China, the watershed of rivers, the four seasons are distinct, the climate is mild, there is no severe cold in winter, and there is no scorching heat in summer, and thus creates the diversity of species. Hanzhong has a forest coverage rate of 52% and a vegetation rate of 60% of forest and grass, which is also rare in China. There are 567 rivers in Hanzhong, including the Han River and the Jialing River, which are the water sources of the middle route of the national "South-to-North Water Diversion" project.
