After a long and tiring trip to Xi'an, I have finally returned back to Singapore. In Xi'an, we visited several places of interest, like The Big Wild Goose Pagoda and The Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses Museum. In the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, I learnt that the pagoda was built after Xuan Zang returned with his scriptures. All the scriptures were kept in the pagoda. The Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses Museum is built in the Qin Dynasty and it is very big. There are 3 pits in there:Pit number 1 is the biggest and has the most warriors and horses, pit number 2 is not big and not small but medium and pit number 3 is the smallest, has the least warriors and horses but the most important. The most exciting night or day was on 14 March 2009, Saturday when we visited the Tang Paradise. We watched 2 movies on the sea and 1 firecracker performance, but after that we played a sort of see-saw thing and we all ran about while some people shake the 'see-saw' by moving to the left then right. It was so fun! A cold night became a hot one to us after that.
Comments: Publish! Xi'an seems pretty rich in Chinese culture.
