Dear Mike,
How is everything going? I’m writing to share with you my amazing trip in Wuyuan.
Located in western Inner Mongolia, Wuyuan is a county with long history. At school, I had learnt that Wuyuan is the cradle of Hetao agricultural civilization. I went there by high speed railway with my friends last weekend. On the morning of the first day, we paid a visit to Hetao Agricultural Culture Museum , which is one of the most famous sightseeing spots in Wuyuan. In the afternoon, we visited Wuyuan Impression. The scenery there was so beautiful that it took our breath away.
Writing
The next morning, we arose early to visit Wuyuan Museum .Then, we took a lot of beautiful photos in Sunflower Square. One highlight of this trip was that we bought many special local products , such as Wuyuan yellow persimmon, Sunboy sunflower seeds, which are well-known throughout the country.
Wuyuan is a place where you can enjoy charming scenery and tasty food. I strongly recommend you to visit here with time permitting. Hope to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
