Dear Tom,
I’m delight to introduce you something about Chinese cultural heritage.
Hard-working and intelligently, Chinese people have made great contributions to the world civilization. Nowadays, many Chinese cultural heritage sites were preserved very well. If you have a chance to travel to China, I recommend yourself to visit Beijing and Xi’an, where many cultural sites are worth visited. Apart from the cultural heritage sites, the natural scenery in Guilin is such beautiful that you will be deeply impressed. Besides, some simple folk custom in the villages in Yunnan province are likely to remind you the good old days,during which living a harmonious life with the nature in the villages, as you know, are of great benefit.
Yours,
Li Hua
