I've　been　in　China　for　two　and　a　half　years，　Wuhan　has　changed　tremendously.  Looking　at　Hankou　from　the　Yellow　Crane　Tower，　you　will　find　skyscrapers　than　two　year　ago.

   There　are　a　lot　of　new　public　squares，office　buildings，　banks，　entertainment　equipment　and　broad　highways，　some　of　which　are　still　under　eonstruction.　On　the　upper　parts　of　many　plazas，　there　are　offices　or　flats，　which　are　convenient　and　economical.　There　are　buildings　like　this　in　Japan　too，　but　not　as　many　as　in　Wuhan.　in　Wuhan，　people　pay　much　attention　to　the　harmony　in　color　with　the　surrounding　buildings　in　construction，　which　makes　the　city　more　harmonious　and　more　beautiful.　Whereas　in　Japan，people　think　more　about　the　comfortable　functions　in　the　building　but　think　less　about　the　harmony　to　the　buildings　around.　In　this　respect，　China's　construction　style　is　more　similar　to　that　of　Europe　and　the　United　States.

    People's　living　conditions　are　improving　rapidly　in　recent　years　with　the　development　of　production　power.　But　I'd　like　to　suggest　that　we　should　leave　more　space　for　rest　when　building　plazas.　In　Japan，　the　plaza　is　not　only　a　prace　for　shopping，　but　also　a　place　for　killing　times.　It　is　a　fashion.　Parents　can　play　with　their　kids　in　the　fountain　square　or　take　a　rest　in　the　lawn.　There　are　other　places　for　you　to　enjoy　yourself　such　as　art　galleries，　internet　coffee　rooms，　cinemas，　etc.　All　these　facirities　are　within　the　plaza.　We　compare　these　places　to　modern　spirituar　relaxation　centres.　The　comfortable　circumstance　will　relax　people's　mind　and　make　them　willing　to　strorl　between　counters　and　buy　goods　happily.　The　sales　volume　is　sure　to　soar.　We　call　this　as“　leisure　and　shopping　praza”.　I　suggest　this　be　considered　in　designing　a　plaza.　Only　in　this　way　can　we　meet　the　needs　of　the　ever-developing　economy　and　people's　ever-rising　living　conditions.
