Dear Sam,
I’m very glad to hear that you’ll travel to China next month.Now I’ll tell you something about the greatest places of interest in our country.
First,Beijing is the capital of China.There are so many amazing places you can’t miss.For example,the Ten-thousand-li Great Wall — One of the seven wonders in the world; the Palace Museum—the Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty;Yuan-mingyuan—a world-famous imperial garden.
Second,you’d better go to Xi’an of Shanxi Province for the Terracotta Warriors there.And you may also go to Huashan——a dangerously steep mountain.It’s not far from Xi’an.
At last I hope you’ll pay a visit to Hunan.Hunan is famous for Zhangjiajie — National Forest Park,a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.By the way,have you ever heard of Mao Zedong? He was one of the greatest leaders in Chinese history.And if you come to Shaoshan — his hometown,you’ll know more about him.
Oh,I must stop now.I have to get ready for my final exams.
Good luck!
Yours,
Li Liang
