Xian



I saw the The terrocotta warriers and thought they were amazing but I don't think that the man in the shop who was supposed to be the farmer who discovered the warriers was the real guy.

City Wall
The city wall was a big wall and had decorations on it.  The view was beautiful of the city from up high on the wall.  My dad had a hot dog covered in fries.  We saw man made shark, jellyfish, coral and a mermaid.
Big Goose Pagoda


We went to The Big Goose Pagoda.  We climbed up but I only made it to the fifth floor as I got tired.  The rest of my family made it to the top.  There were some attractive stautes outside and there were these things called the big pencils.  There were some amazing views.







When we went to the muslim quarter there were lots of people and all the girsl were wearing scarves over their heads.  We went to the Mosque where they go to pray many times a day.  My brother bought a crazy hat like the boy on the movie UP.  



When we were leaving Xian we took the sleeper train to Beijing.  We took it on Chinese New Year which was cool as we got to see lots of fireworks.  One lady came to our cabin and asked to take our photos.  It was a really cool trip as when we woke up we were in Beijing.
