3．（8分）Dear Sis，
How have you been？I'm having a good time on my holiday in Shangri﹣La.It is the name of a city in Yunnan，China.I decided to come here becau I wanted to experience the real Shangri﹣La for mylf，even if it's different from the paradi we read about in the book.So far，I really like it here.
On Monday，I left Lhasa at noon，and after changing flights once，I reached Shangri﹣La at eight in the evening.That night，I was so tired that I had a quick bite to eat and then crashed at the hotel.
Yesterday，I went to the Potatso National Park.The park covers such a wide area that the ticket for the park includes a bus tour，as it is the only way to e all the major sites i
n one day.Just to give you an idea of how large the place is，imagine a park that spans across vast forests，wetlands，lakes，meadows，and veral villages!On the bus，I made friends with the pasngers around me，and they said that I had definitely picked the right ason to visit the park.The autumn scenery，they said，would be absolutely picture﹣perfect.
On top of its beautiful scenery，the park is also famous for its rich biological diversity.Did you know that Potatso makes up less than one percent of China's total land area，but it contains more than 20 percent of the country's plant and animal species？I even saw two black﹣necked cranes（鹤）at the picturesque Bita Lake!Bita Lake is absolutely my favorite place in Potatso.Just imagine，a beautiful lake，blue skies，majestic mountains，and golden trees all around me.Spending time there can be an amazing experience，which gives me a good rest.
