Chapter 88: The Capital of Pakistan

Professor Abbas explained: "Fort Abbas is a beautiful garden city, the traffic arteries of the urban area intersect vertically, and the entire urban area is neatly divided into dozens of districts of equal size, including administrative districts, public utility districts, central business districts, residential areas, industrial areas, college districts and foreign embassy districts, etc. ”

"Surawaddy Avenue and Kashmir Avenue traverse the fort from east to west, with a total length of 25 kilometers, dividing the city into two parts, north and south, you can take a look at the road on the side of the street, it is still very clean, not as dirty, messy and poor as you imagined before you came, right?"

Everyone laughed, Qu Lihua looked around, nodded and praised, "It looks pretty clean, it's not as bad as we thought, before I came, I thought Pakistan was very backward." ”

Professor Abbas smiled, "Yes, many foreigners who don't know about Pakistan think that Pakistan is very backward and poor, Pakistan is a developing country, the economy is mainly agricultural, food is basically self-sufficient, rice, cotton and exports, because of its subtropical location, fruit resources are very rich, Pakistan is known as the Oriental fruit basket." ”

"Bananas, oranges, mangoes, guavas and melons are abundant in the plains and depressions, and peaches, grapes and persimmons are abundant in the high mountains and valleys. ”

"The main mineral reserves are natural gas, oil, coal, iron, copper, bauxite, etc., as well as large quantities of chrome ore, marble and precious stones. ”

"I admit that our country's industry is relatively backward, the most important industry is cotton textile, and there are other industries such as wool textile, sugar, paper, tobacco, tanning, machine making, fertilizer, cement, electricity, natural gas, oil, etc. ”

"The industry of Fort is limited to food, furniture, construction and other industries that are closely related to the daily life of residents, but commerce, transportation, communication and urban municipal construction are very developed, and the agricultural area of Fort is limited in arable land, in order to meet the needs of the people, in addition to actively developing the production of poultry eggs and vegetables, it also actively promotes the development of market trade. ”

"Although Pakistan cannot be compared with those developed countries, Pakistan still has its own advantages, although there is still a certain gap between Pakistan's GDP and India, but after the acceleration of the construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, this situation will change. ”

"Several of the CPEC projects have been completed, creating about 70,000 jobs for Pakistan, including a large number of vocational and technical jobs such as hydropower stations, large international airports, and communication fiber optic cables, driving Pakistan's rapid economic development. In addition to this, Pakistan's long-standing problem of imports exceeding exports has also been alleviated. ”

"However, after the start of the CPEC road construction project, Pakistan's transportation time has been cut in half, which has brought great convenience to exports and increased the income of fruit growers, thanks to China's economic support for Pakistan's economic support from China's good friend. ”

"In addition, Pakistan is a major exporter of cotton, rice, textiles, leather products and Pakistani handicrafts, which are known for their technical skills and a long history, with a history of handicrafts dating back to prehistoric times, camel and deerskin products, carpets, onyx products, etc., which have been perfected by craftsmen for thousands of years. ”

"The Gwadar port is the core project of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, and now Pakistan has stepped up its efforts to develop the Gwadar region, which shows the importance that Pakistan attaches to the China-Pakistan project. ”

Qu Lihua said: "Well, I have also heard that Pakistan's textiles, leather goods and handicrafts are indeed very beautiful and skilled, and if there is a chance, Professor Abbas will definitely take us to see them." ”

"Okay, I can take you to see it then, and you can buy some as souvenirs for your family and friends. ”

Professor Abbas introduced as he led everyone forward, the breeze blowing Qu Lihua's face, neither hot nor cold.

"Fort is a young city, there are no cultural relics and monuments in the urban area, but its natural scenery is fresh and beautiful, the building is rich in characteristics, these years, in order to enrich the life of the citizens, Fort has established a museum, an elegant park and a spectacular mosque, so that citizens and tourists can better feel the pleasant environment and humanistic atmosphere of Fort China. ”

"Faisal Mosque is the largest mosque in Pakistan and even South Asia, and it is also the sixth largest mosque in the world, Shakbari Hilltop Park is the most famous tourist attraction in the city, the park is full of trees, a hundred flowers, there is a special garden for visiting foreign guests to plant trees on the top of the mountain, there is a famous 'Rose and Jasmine Park' in the south of the fort to cultivate roses, jasmine is famous, there are hundreds of kinds of roses and jasmine planted in the park, whenever the flowers are in full bloom, the fragrance of flowers strikes people, and the flowers are purple and red. ”

"Let's go, I'll take you to see this park, you young girls must like roses and jasmine very much, roses represent red-hot love, the world is eager to get true love, as for jasmine, I don't need to introduce it, you also have jasmine in China, you must be very familiar with it." ”

Everyone laughed, and followed Professor Abbas and Head Xia Yuxiang to the park to see roses and jasmine, which really lived up to its name, and the fragrance of flowers was unforgettable.

Qu Lihua asked Professor Abbas, "Professor, what is your national flower of Pakistan?"

Professor Abbas smiled, "I know that your national flower in China is the peony flower, the peony flower is graceful and luxurious, the atmosphere is overwhelming, it is the king of flowers, and the frangipani flower is the national flower of Pakistan, symbolizing beauty and purity." ”

"In addition to this park, we also have Shakbari Hilltop Park, which is the most famous tourist attraction in the city, and the park is full of trees and flowers. ”

When Qu Lihua and everyone climbed high and looked into the distance, the blue sky and white clouds, and the green trees were shady, which was pleasing to the eye.

"Wow, it's really beautiful, this park is really worth visiting!"

"I don't know why, I want to yell, Professor Abbas, I'm standing here yelling, can the people over there hear me?"

Professor Abbas smiled, "You may be able to hear it, you may not hear it, the mountains are very high, if you stand here and roar, there will be an echo, you can try to roar, if you are in a good mood, you can also sing a song!"

"Hahaha......" Qu Lihua smiled happily, "Then I'll give it a try!"

She put her hands to her mouth and yelled at the other side, "Hey, can you hear me?"

Soon her voice was transmitted, and you could hear the echo from the other side of the mountain, everyone was in a good mood, and they all roared with Qu Lihua, and sang a song, and the tourists in the distance heard it, and they all smiled and turned around and waved their hats at everyone.

Professor Abbas said: "This is all pure natural scenery, the park manager only added railings to the edge of the mountain to prevent visitors from slipping and falling down the hillside, everyone pay attention to their feet, one next to the other, do not two people in parallel in the narrow places of the mountain road, let one person pass first, everyone pay attention to safety, I took everyone to see the scenery, we will go back the same way, everyone be careful under their feet, follow the team." ”

"Okay, we'll be careful, thank you, Professor Abbas. ”
