One of your foreign friends plans to go sightseeing in China. Write an email  to recommend a place.

Dear Ethan,

I hear that you are planning a sightseeing trip to  China. Well, I have just returned from a place I am sure you will enjoy--Xi'an, the capital of ShaanXi Province, and one of the most wonderful tourist destinations in the  country.

Xi'an was the capital of thirteen dynasties, and so the place is full of ancient relics. I spent one week there. and didn't have the chance to see even half of them. The  major attractions are the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Banpo Neolithic  Village.

Xi'an boasts plenty of modem hotels and restaurants, but they are not cheap, so you need to take this into  account. I hope you will have as much fun as I had.

Yours,

Li Ming

伊桑，

我听说你计划去中国观光。嗯，我刚刚从一个我相信你会喜欢的地方回来——西安，陕西省的省会，也是全国最棒的旅游目的地之一。

西安是十三代的都城，所以这里到处都是古代文物。我在那里呆了一个星期。甚至连一半的机会都没有。主要景点有兵马俑、大雁塔和半坡新石器时代村庄。

西安拥有很多现代化的酒店和餐厅，但它们并不便宜，所以你需要考虑到这一点。我希望你会和我一样快乐。

你真诚的，

李明
