想飞的鱼0627:“Sofia is the political, economic and cultural center of Bulgaria. The largest park in the city, Freedom Park, is a semi-artificial and semi-natural park, beautiful and charming. Bright flower beds and neat lawns are everywhere in the city. Every household grows flowers and plants in front of and behind their doors and windows. There are shops and flower stalls selling all kinds of flowers on many streets in the city. Residents generally like to plant, buy and give flowers to each other. Walking in the city, you can smell the fragrance of flowers almost everywhere. The whole city is like a blooming flower. With the white or light yellow houses, Sofia looks particularly beautiful and elegant.”
