Dongpo pork is a very popular dish among tourists and locals. The creation of the dish is related to a famous poet, Su Dongpo, so the dish was named after him.

The secret to this aromatic dish is time. Slow cooking for several hours not only allows the pork belly to absorb the wine and soy sauce, but also breaks down the fatty meat, produces a 'melt-in-your-mouth' texture. It also reduces the greasiness of the fat and leaves a deep, vibrant chocolate brown coating. The meat is so tender that you can simply nudge it with a pair of chopsticks and it falls apart. It is often paired with a side of ginger and broccoli to offset its fattiness. You should try it when you come to Hangzhou.

Today, I am going to introduce a special attraction which is called Terracotta Warriors. The purpose of terracotta warriors is to protect Qin Shi Huang in his after life

The figures vary in height according to their rank, the tallest being the generals. The figures include warriors, chariots and horses. It is speculated that many buried treasures and sacrificial objects had accompanied the emperor in his after life. The most important thing is the terracotta figures are life-sized, this causes many people thinking that those figures were made with real people inside. Also, they vary in height, uniform, and hairstyle in accordance with rank. The most impressive thing to me is that the details they have. Most of them originally held real weapons such as spears, swords or crossbows. At the same time, the figures were also painted with bright pigments variously colored pink, red, green, blue, black……

Heads, arms, legs and torsos were created separately and then assembled by luting the pieces together. The faces were created using molds, and at least ten face molds may have been used.

From these details, we can understand how careful when they work and how much time they used to make these figures

Other special thing about xi’an :

The pagoda and its surrounding complex are a testament to the culture Al exchange between China and India.
