Hi, Sam!

    I'm happy to hear that you are taking a trip to Beijing again. We can have fun together soon. In your email, you say you want to take a trip around Beijing. Well, Beijing is the capital of China. So it is a very beautiful city. It has a long history. There are many great places to visit.

    Do you like the Great Wall? If you do, we can go to Huanghuacheng Great Wall. It's 70km from the city centre. Huanghuacheng is different from Badaling. It's a place with hills and lakes.

    You love water, right? Then we can visit Gubei Watertown. It's in the north of Beijing. We can climb the green hills and row(划)a boat on the river. Oh, you must like the lantern shops there. You can buy one and light it in the evening. It's beautiful.

    Baiyangdian Lake is a great place, too. It's not in Beijing, but we can take a bus there. It takes only two hours. There, you can see beautiful lotus flowers(荷花)and birds.

    There are all kinds of delicious foods in Beijing. And Beijing roast duck is the most famous. We can try it.

    Are you interested in these places? I can't wait to meet you here in Beijing.

Yours,

Li Lei
