Dear Tom,
Hope this email finds you well. Knowing that you are scheduled to visit China next month, I would like to recommend Zhanjiang to you.
Recognised as the economic centre of western Guangdong, located in the southwest of Guangdong, Zhanjiang attracts countless tourists from home and abroad every year. A 45-minute drive will take you from Zhanjiang Wuchuan Airport to the coastal city to explore its beauty. What will amaze you most is the breathtaking views of the small islands. Having a taste of local cuisine and wandering along the beautiful beach with the breeze touching your cheek will be a feast for the mouth and the eyes. I bet you’ll have a good time here.
Hopefully, my recommendation will be helpful. Wish you a pleasant journey in Zhanjiang!
Yours,
Li Hua
