Dear Sarah,

Thankyou for your letter asking about the rebuilt Qianmen street. Here is something about it. It is more than 800 meters long with a history of over 600 years and 300 shops around it. It lies south of the Tian'anmen Square and its traffic is very convenient. You can take several buses such as No. 17, 69,59, etc. to get there. You can also take No.2 subway. There are many attractions here.

For example, you can walk on the pedestrian street to experience the rich culture of Beijing and buy something you like. You can also take trolley car to go wherever you'd like to. Besides, there are some tea shops and theaters where you can relax yourself after some walk.

Looking forward to your coming.

Yours,

Li_Hua
