× My hometown is Guangzhou and it is very beautiful place with diverse culture and friendly people, and it's a place where tradition meets more than and it's a very open place to stay.
✓ My hometown is Guangzhou and it is a very beautiful place with diverse culture and friendly people, and it's a place where tradition meets modernity and it's a very open place to stay.
The sentence is missing the definite article 'a' before 'very beautiful place' which is necessary because 'place' is a singular countable noun. Also, 'meets more than' is unclear and likely a mistake; it should be 'meets modernity' or a similar phrase to convey the intended meaning.
× I like its buildings, its food, uh, which are all fantastic. As for the buildings, there are modern buildings, uh, while it also has traditional buildings like Chilo and for foods, it has.
✓ I like its buildings and its food, which are all fantastic. As for the buildings, there are modern buildings, and it also has traditional buildings like Chilo. As for food, it has many varieties.
The phrase 'for foods, it has' is incomplete and awkward. 'Food' is generally uncountable, so 'foods' should be replaced with 'food' or 'varieties of food'. Also, the sentence structure is fragmented and needs to be completed for clarity.
× I have lived here my whole life, so it's 18 years and it's really a strong bond between me and Guangzhou. I love it, while at the same time I hate it because it has some defectives too, but.
✓ I have lived here my whole life, which is 18 years, and I have a really strong bond with Guangzhou. I love it, but at the same time, I hate it because it has some defects too.
The phrase 'it's 18 years' is awkward; 'which is 18 years' is better to specify the duration. 'It's really a strong bond between me and Guangzhou' is incorrect; 'I have a really strong bond with Guangzhou' is correct. 'Defectives' is incorrect; the correct noun is 'defects'. Also, the sentence ends abruptly with 'but' which should be removed or completed.
× To be honest, I don't think so, because As for now, the financial depression has impacted a lot and more and more young people in Guangzhou are moving to Shanghai and Hong Kong, the city like that, to meet more opportunities and seek for their fortune.
✓ To be honest, I don't think so because, as of now, the financial depression has had a big impact, and more and more young people in Guangzhou are moving to Shanghai, Hong Kong, and cities like those to find more opportunities and seek their fortune.
The phrase 'because As for now' is incorrect; 'because, as of now,' is correct. 'Impacted a lot' is informal; 'had a big impact' is better. 'The city like that' should be pluralized to 'cities like those' to match the plural context. Also, 'seek for their fortune' should be 'seek their fortune' because 'seek' does not require 'for'.
