A picture always keeps in my mind, which is unforgettable. An autumn dusk, the weather is mild, in courtyard Siheyuan of the ancient city of Pingyao, the flowers bloom luxuriantly. In the Setting sun, a few foreign old women were seriously and quietly writing postcards around a table. What is nice moment they were enjoying!

Five years ago, I went to the ancient city of Pingyao on my vacation. I stayed there for three days. By now this is the only time that I've stayed a city to take my vacation in my life. Because I love Siheyuan.

This time I went to Turkey, at a last visit to city Istanbul, in a souvenir store, I saw postcards again  and still kept standing in front of them a while. Finally I made up my mind to send myself a  postcard at each visiting of a city, no matter at  home  and  abroad.

Postcards is a way of communication for people's daily use, It's an effective tool to make more  friends, communicate feelings and pass on information. But now postcard is more and more far away from our life and  be replaced by E-mail, WeChat....

Today I received the postcard. I believe after a few years, each postcard has a story and will be a nice memory。

The ancient city of Pingyao lies in the center of Shanxi province, which is a famous culture town with 2700 years history. As the ancient city of Pingyao culture inheritance ground in the world , it has its own special natural and humanities landscape. You must stay in Siheyuan if you travel to  Pingyao.
