Dear Paul,

How are you? Let me introduce my hometown, Suzhou. It’s in eastern China, near Shanghai. With a population of about 12 million, it’s a lively city.

Suzhou has a history of over 2,500 years! The most famous places are its classical gardens, like the Humble Administrator’s Garden. They show the beauty of Chinese traditional art. People here are also proud of the Grand Canal, the longest man-made river in the world.

I love Suzhou because it mixes ancient culture with modern life. I hope you can visit someday!

Best wishes,

Cindy

 

 

 

Dear Paul,

Hi there! How's your summer vacation going? I'm excited to share about my hometown, Xi'an, a city where ancient wonders meet modern vibes.

Located in northwest China, Xi'an serves as the capital of Shaanxi Province. With a population of 13 million (almost double that of New York City!), it's one of China's fastest-growing tech hubs. But what really makes it special is its history as the starting point of the Silk Road.

By the way, does Los Angeles have any iconic historical sites like this? Can't wait to hear about your hometown!

Best regards,

Cindy
