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. It's OK. Beijing is the capital of China. So it is a very beautiful city. It has a long history. There are many great places to go.
Do you like the Great Wall? Then we can go to Huanghuacheng Great Wall. It's 70 km 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 a boat on the river. Oh, you must like the lantern shops there. 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 drive a car there for only two hours. There, you can see beautiful lotuses and a lot of fish, ducks and birds.
There are all kinds of delicious foods in Beijing. And Beijing roast duck is the most famous. We can try it.
Every year many people come here to visit the Great Wall, the Palace Museum and try Beijing duck. If you come to Beijing, I believe you will like it.
Are you interested in these places? Tell me. I can't wait for you to come here.
Yours,
Li Lei
