Dear S.T. Zhang, Thanks for your letter. I think Qingdao is a good choice for you. Its a beautiful coastal city in eastern China and you can go there by train or by ship. The weather is pleasant and the best thing about it is that you can enjoy lots of outdoor activities there, such as swimming and hiking. Whats more, you can easily rent a room with quite a reasonable price and cook the seafood you catch in the sea. What do you think of it? Write to me if you need any other help. Ace Travel Example 3b
