Dear Ryan,
Writing practice (2)
Dear Ryan,
Hearing that you are coming to China this winter vacation, I'd like to recommend you a wonderful place—Xi’ an.
Located in the northwest of China, Xi' an is one of the best- known tourist destinations in China. Not only can you pay a visit to the amazing Terracotta Army, which is viewed as the“ World's Eighth Wonder”, but also you can climb the HuaShan Mountain, whose splendid and natural beauty will shock anyone who stands on the top of it. Additionally, going cycle the City Wall is considered a must for anyone who visits the city of Xi' an. Of course, the various local snacks there will definitely comfort your crying stomach.
Welcome to China! I'm sure you' ll have a brilliant time in Xi' an.
Yours,
Li hua
