Dear Vincent,
Learning from your last e-mail that you’ll pay a visit to China with your family, I’m more than delighted to recommend a list of attractions to you in detail.
Firstly, the Great Wall is regarded as the symbol of China, which you can’t miss. Additionally, as the Summer Palace shows typical ancient Chinese architectural art, seeing it by yourself is bound to greatly deepen your understanding of Chinese culture.
I sincerely hope that my recommendation can be of some help to you. May you all have a good time while in China!
Yours,
Li Hua
