October 9th, 2011
Dear Tony,
I had a wonderful trip to Guilin with my parents this summer holiday. It is a small city in the northeast of Guangxi. It is more than 2,000 years old and the whole city is about 27,800 square kilometers. There are green mountains, clear waters, unique caves and beautiful stones there. The most famous tourist attractions are Elephant Trunk Hill, Li River, Reed Flute Cave and Seven-star Park. Elephant Trunk Hill is the symbol of the city. It is really a fantastic hill. It looks like a huge elephant drinking water by the Li River!
Ask your parents to bring you to Guilin next time. You can go there by air, by train or by bus and get around on free buses in the city. If you go, I can go with you. I would like to visit it again! I am sure we will have a great time there.
Yours, Lily
