【参考范文】
Dear Professor Cook,
I am delighted to hear that you have arrived in China and will begin your teaching career at our university. I want to extend my warmest welcome to you. Beijing is a city rich in history and culture, and I highly recommend visiting some of the following attractions during your time here.
The Forbidden City is a must-see, as it was the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is a stunning example of traditional Chinese architecture and provides a glimpse into China’s past. Another must-see attraction is the Great Wall of China. It’s a short trip outside of the city, but it is well worth the visit. You can take a cable car up to the wall and walk along the ancient fortifications, taking in breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
I hope my recommendations will be useful in planning your itinerary. If you need any further assistance or information, please do not hesitate to contact me. I wish you a pleasant stay in Beijing.
Best regards,
Li Ming
