Dear_Tom,
It_is_nice_to_receive_your_email.Now_I'd_like_to_tell_you_something_about_the_Palace_Museum.
The Palace Museum, also referred to as the Forbidden City, is a fascinating tourist attraction.It can date back to the Ming Dynasty.It took nearly 14 years to build and was completed in 1420.As the largest museum in China, the Palace Museum holds precious treasures from the past thousands of years of Chinese history.It's not surprising that its temples and palaces amount to 9,999 because nine is traditionally considered as a lucky number by Chinese people.Middle school students from all over our country now can visit it in groups free of charge every Tuesday.
I do hope you can come to China and take a look at this museum with your own eyes.I'm sure you are more than likely to be attracted.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li_Hua
