Dear Richard,
How is everything going As the October holiday is coming, I will have a four-day trip to Shanghai with my family. Here is my plan.
We are leaving Liling for Shanghai by the high speed railway at around 2:00 p.m. on Oct. 2nd. Upon arriving in Shanghai, we will check in the hotel for a good rest first, which will be booked online in advance, so that we can have enough energy to visit Shanghai. On the second day, we are going to the Disneyland to experience all kinds of recreation facilities, and buy some souvenirs at the same time. On the third day, we will visit Shanghai Science and Technology Museum in the morning.Besides, we will climb the Oriental Pearl Tower in the afternoon, from which we will enjoy the whole view of Shanghai. On Oct.5th, we will take the high speed railway back to Liling.
I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Xiao Li
