1.Visit life-size terracotta figures of warriors and horses.
As a history student who loves the Chinese culture and a Chinese myself,ancient chinese history really appeals to me.also.having been to Great Wall of china before,ive always wanted to know more about the ruling emperor of the Qin dynasty,the first emperor in china.it is interesting to know that these terracotta warriors were present because the emperor had wanted to be protected in the afterlife.ive heard many stories about the emperor and it would be really interesting to be able to be at xian and actually get to view these terracotta warriors.learning about the cruel emperor and the tough lives people had to go though back in that dynasty would definitely help me appreciate the fact that emperors no longer rule the country

2.learn about old china from guides who are knowledgeable about local history.
Having been fascinated by the chinese culture and the history of ancient china for a long time,yet again this experience and chance to understand the country and their history from the locals would definitely be beneficial.after all,what better way could there be to learn about the country other than to listen to stories that may have been passed down by their ancestors shared by those who know the places way more than me ?

3.enjoy the amazing views of xian from the top of its ancient tower.
It must feel very special to view modern china from the top of an ancient chinese building,it’s definitely different from viewing the landscape from a modern skyscraper.how we remember the past and embrace the future at the same time,how the place could be so modern yet filled with cultural relics too.standing on top of the tower would definitely give me an inexpressible feeling,to watch how china has grown so much over the years and how so many things have changed but the history of china will always be a part of the people and the country herself.it would make me super proud of being a chinese.

4.taste great food at local noodle houses and drink green tea prepared the chinese way.
Being a fan of noodles,i would love to try a local dish loved by the local people and also note how the chinese cuisine from china differs from the chinese cuisine everywhere else.im not the biggest fan of green tea but I haven’t tried the chinese tea before so maybe i would find myself to actually like it a lot and the reason why I wasn’t in love with tea was actually because I haven’t came across chinese tea.ive actually watched chinese tea being prepared before and i know its a really complicated process so i would definitely appreciate the tea that’s serves to me much more than I should having prepared tea before as well

vietnam - relax on a mekong river cruise
experience rural life along the river bank - know more about the lifestyles of people living in non-urban areas, have fresh air and enjoy the great outdoor living.

travel to the floating market at Cai Rang on a local boat called sampan - i have had experienced this type of event in which my family and i travelled by sampan around the floating market, but that was many years ago, so i would like to experience it again.

visit villages to see temples and snake farms - as far as i remember, i have not experienced visiting any animal farms like a snake farm, so i am very interested in it. visiting temples may increase my knowledge of that particular culture and make me harbour respect to it.

enjoy tea with honey in riverside garden houses - a time to relax and take a breather, enjoy the tranquility
