Early in the morning, the company's bus drove everyone to the first destination – Zhaoling Mausoleum. It is the mausoleum of Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty (618-907). We climbed the small hill behind the tombstone and enjoyed the copy of the famous stone inscriptions "Six Stone Steeds". About two hours later, we headed for the next destination – Zhaoling Museum. The museum is only a half hour's drive from Zhaoling Mausoleum. It well keeps many precious cultural relics excavated from the accompanying tombs of Zhaoling Mausoleum. The TCG working staff have extended the knowledge of Tang Dynasty by the visit. Left the museum, we moved on the last destination – Yuanjia Village. It was a small tourist village that shows the folk customs in Shaanxi Province. We had a good meal at one of the farmhouses in the village. The dishes were all cooked from the vegetables that fresh from the master's garden. After the meal, we came in flocks to see this folk culture village.
The trip was memorable to everyone. It is a good chance to get relaxed. Also, like the famous saying goes, "Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles", TCG always believes that he that travels far knows much, and we also wish our distinguished guests could gain some knowledge of China and Chinese people through the tour packages that elaborated made by us.
