SUBJECT: Wonderful time in Zhangjiajie
Dear Mum and Dad,
I promised to write, so...
We're staying with Lingling's uncle in Hunan Province, and I'm having a wonderful time here in Zhangjiajie. It's a magic land of mountains, forests and rivers. It's very large, about 480 square kilometres. It's famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks. Some of them look like humans while others look like wild animals.
Last night we camped by a small lake. During the night, we heard a noise! It woke everybody up. We thought somebody was moving about. Lingling's uncle said it was an animal. We came out without making any noise, and found it was just a hungry monkey looking for food.
This morning, we climbed Mount Tianzi! From the top we hoped to see the lakes and forests. But it was a pity that it was cloudy. We could only see the mountain tops above the clouds.Then we walked down the path, along a river, past trees and other plants and back to the camp. I pulled a leaf off a plant, but Lingling's uncle said that it was wrong to pull leaves off plants and that we should protect everything here. I was very sorry.
Tomorrow we're going to Dongting Lake, the second-largest freshwater lake in China.
We'll be back home next week! Wish you were here!
Love
Betty

Today my friend and I went to the West Lake. West Lake is a magic land in Hang Zhou. It is about 6 square kilometres. Everyone loves its plants, water and lakes. There are many different birds. It is famous for the beautiful sights and the romantic tale about Xu Xian and White Snake.
When we arrived at nine, we first took a boat to visit the Broken Bridge. It is the place where Xu Xian met White Snake. We saw lots of people there. Then we came to the other side of the lake. We rode horses.The weather is cool and comfortable. Then we had lunch by the lake at twelve.After lunch,we sang songs and played games.
We went back at half past five.
