　　It was a day to celebrate if your family had put most of its money in a bank．You will get more money back because of a recent rise in interest rates(利率)．

　　On October 29, for the first time in nine years, the People’s Bank of China(PBOC)raised interest rates．The rate for one-year renminbi deposits(存款)was increased from 1.98 per cent to 2.25 per cent．And the rate for one-year renminbi loans(代款)went up from 5.31 per cent to 5.58 per cent．Longer term rates saw higher increases．

　　So what are interest rates?Banks offer some money to encourage people to keep their savings in a savings account(儲蓄帳戶)，and ask more money in return if you borrow money from them．The percentages of the extra money are the interest rates．

If your parents have borrowed money from banks to pay for houses or cars, the interest rates rise was not good news．

　　An increase in the interest rates on a loan means the borrower will need to repay more to the bank．For example, a person who borrowed, 10,000 yuan from the bank had to return 10,531 yuan before the interest rise．But after the interest rates are increased, he has to pay extra 27 yuan per year．

　　The rise came following a great demand for the cooling of the over-heating Chinese economy．For several years, pushed by a huge investment and construction projects, the country has had the fastest economic growth in the world．But this can be damaging just as it is when a person grows too fast and can no longer fit their clothes．It is hoped that with a higher interest rate people will act more cautiously and take less risks when borrowing money．

　　“The rate rise will help the economy to cool down．It will reduce investment in unnecessary industrial and construction projects．”said Su Ning, deputy governor(副行長)of the PBOC．

(1)

Yueyang Tower (岳陽樓) lies in the west of Yueyang City, near the Dongting Lake. It was first built for soldiers to rest on and watch out. In the Three Kingdoms Period, Lu Su, General of Wu State, trained his soldiers here.
In 716, Kaiyuan of Tang Dynasty, General Zhang Shuo was sent to defend at Yuezhou and he rebuilt it into a tower named South Tower, and then Yueyang Tower.

Moving on, there is a platform that once used as the training ground for the navy of Three-Kingdom Period general Lu Su. To its south is the Huaifu Pavilion(亭) in honor of Du Fu.
