The Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses

Xi'an, once the capital of eleven Chinese dynasties, is famous throughout the world for life-sized terra-cotta warriors and horses. Tt is the executed terra-cotta legions as an exterior section of the mausoleum, of Qin Shi Huang or First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty (255-210B. C.) Qin Shi Huang，is the first one that united China。He stopped the wars that tormented the civil so long time。After that，China began developing technologies and business。

But he is a Tyrant，he ruled the country in a harsh way。 He built the Great Wall to protect invasions, people say the Great Wall is built on bodies。After he died，he made a lot of terra-cotta warriors and horses to protect him。 Now the tomb is discovered and it is a wonder in the world。

The Tea-Horse Ancient Road

For thousands of years, only humans and horses treaded the mountains of Southwest China as they followed an ancient pathway through the Chinese hinterlands and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. 

Along the unpaved and rugged pathway that was formed, commodities like tea, salt and sugar flowed into Tibet. Meanwhile, horses, cows, furs, musk and other local products made their way to the outside world. The road was called the teahorse ancient road, and it stretched across more than 4,000 kilometers, mainly through Southwest China’s Sichuan and Yunnan provinces and the Tibetan Autonomous Region. 

This way is communication for China and western countries，and we can imaging how hard it is for businessman at that time to shuttle between Eastern and western but the landscapes are so beautiful。Now for tourists，it is a romantic choice to feel the mood of our ancestors。

The Great Wall

The Great Wall of China is one of the most outstanding buildings of mankind, sometimes called the eight world wonder and said to be the only human work that can be seen from the moon (which is, of course, not true).The part of the Great Wall we can admire today north of Beijing, are the reconstructed remnants of the Ming Dynasty wall. But this wall is only the last wall-fortification in a long tradition of wall building.

The Great Wall is the world’s longest human-made structure, stretching over approximately 6,400 km (4,000 miles) from Shanhaiguan in the east to Lop Nur in the west, along an arc that roughly delineates the southern edge of Inner Mongolia, but stretches to over 6,700 km (4,160 miles) in total. It is also the largest human-made structure ever built in terms of surface area and mass.

There is an old saying“ he is not a man who has never been to the Great Wall。”so if there is a chance，you should visit it。

The Silk Road 

China is the first country in the world to breed silkworms and produce silk. The Silk Road was first conceived during the Zhou and Qin dynasties. The ancient Silk Road linked Chinese culture with that of India, Greece, Rome and Persian from one century to the other, carried the great Chinese inventions of silk, gunpowder, papermaking and printing to the West and brought Buddhism, Nestorianism, and Islam and their related arts and cultures into China. Like the Tea-Horse Road，it is another way for Chinese to communicate with the outside world。Today a lot of tourists flooded to this road to “see” what was happening at that time。

SuZhou classical Gardens

The Lingering Garden was listed from the first as cultural relics of national importance in 1961. The garden is separated into the middle, eastern, northern and western parts. The ancestral temple and the house lie to the south of the garden. Featuring man-made mountain and lake scenery in the west and garden courts in the east, the middle part of the garden is the original site of the Xu’s East Garden and the Liu’s Hanbi Villa, and is regarded as the best part of the whole garden. The eastern, northern and western parts are the extensions of the Sheng’s Garden. The eastern part is noted for its strangely shaped limestones, the northern part idyllic scenes, and the western part the delights of woody hills. The city SuZhou is a gentle city，it is quiet and shy，and it is a good place for girls and poets。If you were there，she will give

You a surprise。
