Describe a Picture
This picture has just been taken from the southern window of my office. The scene in the picture is what looks outside the window. You can see a road in the middle of the picture and it is called Yinghuai boulevard. Also, you can see a river right along the road, which is Zhongqing River. As you can see, along the road and the river, there are many green trees and lawns. On the left side of the road, there are several tall buildings. Apart from one building called Langyue Hotel, the rest are residential buildings belonging to Baolong City Square. Also, on the right side of the road, you can see several tall buildings, which are residential buildings called High-speed Time City. The location where the picture was taken can be counted as urban areas of Fuyang city, and basically it can represent the appearance of this city.
Describe a Picture
This picture has just been taken from the southern window of my office.
The scene in the picture is what looks outsidethe view from the window.
Or "The picture shows what it looks like outside the window."
You can see a road in the middle of the picture and it is called Yinghuai boulevard.
Also, you can see a river right along the road, which is Zhongqing River.
As you can see, along the road and the river, there are many green trees and lawns.
"As you can see" is something you say when you're pointing to something your reader or listener... can see. If you intend that, if this is an imagined conversation with someone who is also looking at the picture, then it's perfectly correct!
I mention it because I *can't* see the picture, so if you were just describing it to me, you wouldn't say "as you can see". You have to be showing it to me for this to make sense.
It's a bit strange, because in the previous sentences saying "you can see" was fine, because it works as the "generic you". But in "as you can see" it doesn't, it specifically means the person or people you are talking directly to.
On the left side of the road, there are several tall buildings.
Apart from one building called Langyue Hotel, the resty are residential buildings belonging to Baolong City Square.
Very minor, but "apart from" and "the rest" are duplicating each other. Better: "Apart from ... they are", or "One building is ... the rest are".
Also, on the right side of the road, you can see several tall buildings, which are residential buildings, a complex called High-speed Time City.
Works better if you collect the buildings into a group like this before naming them.
The location where the picture was taken can be counted aspicture shows a typical urban areas of Fuyang cCity, and it basically it can represents theis city's appearance of this city.
I've had to slightly guess at what you mean here.
