Dear Jim,
It’s nice to hear from you. I’m writing to share with you some suggestions for your visit to China.
knowing a little Chinese history will be helpful when you visit China. First, it can help you understand a lot about our country and our traditions. Second, it can make your visit much more enjoyable.
If you visit China, I recommend Xi’an is a great place to start. It’s an ancient city with an interesting history. There are countless historic sites for you to explore, and lots of museums with ancient items from all over China. If you keep your eyes open, you will be surprised to find that you can see both its past and its present.
Looking forward to your arrival.
