Xiamen, located in Fujian province, is a famous coastal city. It's not only renowned for its natural beauty, but also for its modernization.
厦门位于福建省，是著名的海滨城市。它不仅以其自然美而闻名，而且以其现代化而闻名。

As far as I'm concerned, Xiamen is very clean and pretty. In that city, we can enjoy clear sky, beautiful sea, and green tropical plants. I guess living there must be very pleasant.
在我看来，厦门非常干净漂亮。在那样的城市，我们可以欣赏到晴朗的天空、美丽的大海和绿色的热带植物。我猜住在那里一定很愉快。

As Xiamen is in the southeast of China and close to the sea, it's neither too cold in winter nor too hot in summer. It's warm and humid all the year round. But the best seasons to go to Xiamen are both spring and summer. In spring, it never winds so hard, so we can take a walk along the sea and breathe fresh air. As for summer, it's the best season for entertainment. We can go swimming in the sea and feel the soft sea wind on the beach. Perhaps we can find endless pleasure.
因为厦门在中国的东南部，靠近大海，所以其冬天不太冷，夏天也不太热。全年温暖潮湿。但是去厦门最好的季节是春天和夏天。春天，风从来都不会刮得很厉害，所以我们可以在海边散步，呼吸新鲜空气。至于夏天，则是最好的娱乐季节。可以在海里游泳，在海滩上感受柔和的海风。也许还可以找到无尽的乐趣。

Besides, there are some famous tourist sites in Xiamen. And the most beautiful scenic spot is Gulangyu Island. We can visit foreign architectures, nice gardens, beautiful parks, and traditional museums there. Once we are in Xiamen, we can't miss going to Gulangyu Island, or we won't have a good time.
此外，厦门还有一些著名的旅游景点。最美丽的是鼓浪屿。我们可以参观外国的建筑、美丽的花园、漂亮的公园和传统的博物馆。一旦我们到了厦门，我们不能错过去鼓浪屿岛，否则肯定玩得不够开心。

However, in recent years, Xiamen has become a lot more modern than it used to be. Nowadays, more and more skyscrapers and shopping malls have been built, which make Xiamen a wonderful city for sightseeing and shopping. So I eagerly wish to spend my summer holiday there next time.
然而，近年来，厦门变得比以前现代化很多。如今，建了越来越多的摩天大楼和购物中心，这使得厦门成为一个观光和购物的美妙城市。所以我热切地希望我的下一个暑假能在那里度过。

Next year if I have enough time and money, I plan to have a nice sightseeing tour in Xiamen with my close friends. I hope we can spend the happiest time together there.
明年如果我有足够的时间和金钱，我打算和我的好朋友去厦门观光旅游。我希望我们能在那里度过最快乐的时光。
