Dear Richard,
Thank you for your email about your travel plan in Xi'an(表明收到来信). I am extremely pleased to tell you something about my plans for the coming holiday.(写信目的).
With the holiday coming, my family are going to pay a visit to Hangzhou,which is amazing.(说明旅游目的) As we all know, Hangzhou is famous for West Lake, a landmark of the city. I can't wait to take a boat on the lake, admiring the scenery and recalling the love story between a white snake Bai Suzhen and a man Xuxian. Besides, what also attracts us is the local food. The dishes there are delicious and well-known.（说明旅游计划）
We will take the train and spend 6 days there, from Jan.1th to Jan. 6th. （说明交通工具）In my opinion, travel can not only enrich our knowledge, but also broaden our horizons. I am sure we will have a good time. I am looking forward to your photos in Xi'an.（最后想法）
