Choose a place you have visited in China.

Now write a letter to a relative or a friend and tell them about your visit. Begin and end your letter like Tony’s.
Dear Mum and Dad,
I am writing this letter to you from the mountains of Yunnan! It’s a very beautiful and exciting place.
There are many different types of people living here. They all have different ways of dressing, cooking and living. Today I saw some Yi people.
They wear colourful clothing and they also drink a lot of tea. Some Yi people are different to others — it depends on whether they live in the mountains or in the lowlands. People that live in the mountains grow different foods.
Yesterday the bus broke down halfway in the country and we all had to wait quite a long time before it was fixed. I wasn’t bored though. I looked at the interesting countryside and made friends with some of the other travellers.
Coming home tomorrow — see you both soon!
Love,
Lily
