“A great man should in the morning be at the blue sea, and in the evening at Mount Cangwu. Why should I restrict myself to one corner of the world?”

Dear Jimmy,
During the National Day, with great excitement, I visited one of the most famous tourist sights in Beijing-the Great Wall.
I arose early to take the coach to the Great wall, which is located in the north-west of Beijing. As is typical of Beijing, it was mild and clear. Seen from the top, the rolling hills and forests looked massive, which took my breath away with its exceptional beauty. What impressed me most was the cultural heritage site dating back to over 3000 years. In addition to seeing spectacular mountain peaks and forests, one highlight of my trip was being able to buy various crafts and antiques.
Looking at the impressive scenery, I agreed that it was the most awesome journey I had ever taken.

Dear Peter, Glad to hear that you’re traveling to China, I’m writing to make recommendation to you. I’ m convinced that Guilin is a second-to-none choice for you! For one thing, you’ll find yourself surrounded by the unique karsts, a kind of steep hills sticking up into the sky formed over thousands of years. For another, a raft trip down the Lijiang River will take you on an thrilling journey to immerse yourself in the spectacles with the raft hitting the rapids. Best of all, you will also head out for an adventure to be every bit as beautiful as you may expect. I surely believe this trip will live up to your expectation.

Dear Tom,
I’ m glad to share a truly fascinating travel experience that I had during my last summer holiday with you.
On July 7, my parents and I took a bus to Leshan, Sichuan Province, which is famous for the Giant Stone Buddha. The Buddha is literally big. Looking up at the large head and down at the large feet, I felt I was so small. The next day, we climbed Mount Emei, where the beautiful scenery took our breath away. There are many old temples and wild monkeys. At dusk, we made our way back. We were all tired, but our trip to Leshan was really unforgettable. If possible, I am bound to pay a visit to Leshan again.
I’m looking forward to going there with you next time.
Yours
LiHua

Dear Richard,
Thank you for your letter about your trip in Xi'an, which is amazing. I am writing to tell you something about my plans for the coming holidays.
With the National Day coming, I am going to travel to Hainan Island to see its beautiful scenery with my family. We will spend 6 days there, from Oct. 1th to Oct. 6th. It’s because of its beautiful scenery that we choose to travel to Hainan Island. Other than hiking on the island, we have planned many other activities like surfing in the water, spending the nights in the tents. I am sure we will have a wonderful holiday.
In my opinion, travel can not only enrich my knowledge, but also broaden my horizons. Look forward to your early reply
Yours,
LiHua
