• 尔湾，这个位于洛杉矶橘县的城市，是我最爱的美国城市之一。这里43%的人口是亚裔，尤其是韩国人特别多。朋友告诉我，因为市长是韩国人，所以这里韩国人特别多，这也解释了为什么房价这几年涨得如此迅猛。

    尔湾的设计非常现代，由著名建筑师William Pereira规划，城市道路宽阔笔直，给人一种新区的感觉。这里气候宜人，常年温度在20几度左右，几乎不下雨，四季如春。

    不过，尔湾的交通不太方便，基本没有公共交通。所以来玩的小伙伴们一定要租一辆车哦！这里的空气清新，环境优美，真的很适合居住和生活。

    Irvine, a city located in Orange County, Los Angeles, is one of my favorite American cities. 43% of its population is Asian, with a particularly large Korean community. A friend told me that the mayor is Korean, which explains the large Korean population and also why housing prices have risen so rapidly in recent years.

    Irvine has a very modern design, planned by the renowned architect William Pereira. The city's roads are wide and straight, giving it the feel of a newly developed area. The climate is pleasant, with temperatures consistently around 20 degrees Celsius, almost no rain, and a spring-like atmosphere year-round.

    However, transportation in Irvine is not very convenient, as there is virtually no public transportation. So, if you're planning to visit, you'll definitely need to rent a car! The air is clean, the environment is beautiful, and it's truly a great place to live.
