One possible answer:
Dear Lucy,
It’s good to hear that you may visit China. I think the best time to come is in autumn. Most of the places in China are neither too hot nor too cold in this season. It’s the most comfortable time to travel. If you’re going to visit South China, you should probably bring an umbrella because there may be some rain.
You might like to stay in a hotel. You won’t have to pay much for it because hotels are not very expensive here. But I also invite you to stay in my home. I’m happy to be your guide during the holiday.
Looking forward to hearing all about your travel plans.
Best wishes,
Daming
