Visiting Xi'an was once Leah's dream. It came true when she went to China along with her two friends last year.
During her 20 days in Xi'an, Leah got a chance to learn about Chinese culture closely. She visited many old buildings there. Xi'an City Wall was her favorite. In Xi'an,she enjoyed many kinds of foods and watched some traditional shows. All of them left a wonderful impression （印象）on her. Now, Xi'an is like her second home. Since Leah came back to Spain, she has been missing Xi'an very much.
Leah's 20-day stay in Xi'an was a great experience. It was a chance to increase her understanding of cultural diversity. Leah said, "The Chinese people are all friendly. The cultures are varied among countries, but we are connected by the bond（纽带）of friendship. The future of nations is hopeful with development and peace. The trip in Xi'an will always be in my memory.
