Conclusion
Presentation of postcards or travel blog
When people travel, a popular way to record their visit is to send postcards to family and friends, letting them know about places visited, impressions gained and other interesting information. Postcards are sent from a specific place (eg. from Xi'an, or Beiijing)
These days, another popular way to do this is to create a travel blog, which is also a record of your trip. Updating your Facebook page is also another very popular and effective way 
to keep in touch with family and friends and to let them know what you have been doing on your travels.
