"Amazing": I have never imagined that it is such a beautiful place! When we arrived at Xi’an I was fascinated about its ancient architectures. It was amazing! At the Famen Temple we took a lot of photos and the guide told us story about Wuzetian. I like it.

"I learn much": It was my first time to visit China. I have known that China has a long history. It was what I had imagined. The guide Jennifer took good care of every tourist. She was funny and also educated. She said that her major was history. She told us full story of the Empress Wuzetian. And I began to respect her.
