It was a short flight from Shanghai to Xi'an. Xi'an is one of the four great ancient capitals of China with a history of over 3,100 years. Dating from the Ming Dynasty, (it) ancient walls are the best preserved in the world. There are bicycles for people to hire. It is (amaze) to ride along the walls to survey this fascinating city.
The Tang Dynasty Music and Dance show (be) not to be missed, but my favorite is art gallery, where we can enjoy some beautiful artwork and learn how to write Chinese characters.
Most visitors make their way Xi'an to see the life-size terracotta warriors (兵马俑) and we were not different at all. The collection, shows the armies of the first Emperor of China, remained hidden until 1974 when they (discovery) by a farmer digging a well. (walk) among the statues is forbidden unless you are a VIP — but there are plenty of souvenir (shop) in which tourists can buy the replicas (复制品) of them.
All too soon it was time to leave. I (true) enjoyed my stay in Xi'an. It is indeed a place of interest worth a second visit.
