Writing Assignment
Dear Peter,
Hearing that you are coming to China under the 144-hour visa-free transit policy and setting Xi’an as one destination, I’m writing to recommend several landmarks worthy to visit.
What comes into my mind first is the Terracotta Army, for the reason that it’s an outstanding example of ancient Chinese art showcasing the craftsmanship of China. You will definitely be amazed by its grand scale and lifelike technique. Apart from that, Xi’an Huimin Street, a well-known street with varieties of local food, may also help you gain an insight into the local culture and feast your eyes on Chinese delicacy.
I sincerely hope my recommendation will help you enjoy a cheerful vacation.
Yours,
Li Hua
