范文
Dear Tom,
I'm very glad to hear that you are interested in China's natural wonders. I want to introduce Mount Huang (Yellow Mountain) to you. It is in the south of Anhui Province.
Mount Huang is famous for its beautiful scenery. It is one of the most famous mountains in China. When you climb to the top, you can see the amazing "Sea of Clouds", special pine trees and strange rocks. The sunrise there is also very beautiful.
The best time to visit Mount Huang is in autumn because the weather is cool and nice. I really hope you can come and visit. I am sure you will love it.
Looking forward to your visit!
Best wishes,
Li Hua

参考范文
My Favorite Natural Wonder
China is a great country with many beautiful natural wonders. My favorite one is the Guilin Scenery in Guangxi. It is famous for its green hills and clear water.
The Li River (Lijiang River) is the most beautiful part of Guilin. The water is very clean and quiet. You can see small fish swimming in it. The hills there are strange and special. Some of them look like elephants drinking water, and others look like old men. Taking a bamboo raft (竹筏) on the river is the best way to enjoy the scenery. It makes people feel peaceful and relaxed.
I love Guilin because it looks just like a traditional Chinese painting. It is truly a gift from nature. I hope you can visit there someday.
