Answer 1

【答案】Dear Jim,

I am very glad to hear from you and delighted to know that you are interested in Chinese food.

During the Spring Festival, it’s a tradition for families to get together and have a big meal. However, the food customs vary from place to place. In northern China, dumplings are the typical food, which represent change and good luck. In contrast, in the southern part, it’s a great time to eat tangyuan. They are sticky rice balls with different fillings. Tangyuan sounds like tuanyuan in Chinese, which means “family reunion”.

When you come to Beijing, Beijing Roast Duck is what you can’t miss. The duck is hung and roasted on flames, shaved into slices, dipped in sweet flour sauce, and wrapped in a paper-thin pancake. I bet it will be an unforgettable experience for you.

Looking forward to meeting you soon!

Yours,

Li Hua
