Dear Eric,
Today, I visited the National Art Museum of China in Beijing.
We set off at 8:30 am and arrived there at 10:00 am. Much to our delight, the gallery was open to the public for free. During our visit, we saw a great many masterpieces painted by world famous artists and got much information with the help of the voice guide. Besides the famous masters' works, it is worth noting that the other paintings were much more vivid and impressive than the pictures I had seen in our textbooks.
To sum up, this visit went far beyond my expectations. I hope I will have the chance to visit more exhibitions of this kind in the future.
Yours,
Li Hua
