Dear Adam,
I'm really excited to hear that you're going to visit China this holiday. You have such a passion for Chinese history and culture, and I'm sure you'll love every moment of your trip.
I highly recommend Beijing. It's the capital with a long history. You can visit the magnificent Forbidden City and walk on the Great Wall. Also, Xi'an is great. The Terracotta Army there is a wonder of the world.
Wish you a pleasant journey and hope you'll make beautiful memories in China.
