At the end of this summer vacation, my family of three, my aunt and my great-uncle went to Xi 'an for six days. The plane arrived in Xi 'an at 6: 30 pm on the 23rd, 10: 30. When we arrived in Xi 'an, we stayed with relatives in Xi 'an, and the next day we began to travel in Xi 'an.

Xi 'an is a thousand-year-old ancient capital, in which the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were the heyday in Xi 'an history. Xi 'an has a large number of historical and cultural landscapes. There is the "eighth wonder of the world"-Qin Terracotta Warriors Museum.

Let's talk about the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang first! According to the tour guide, the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was built by Qin Shihuang with more than 700,000 craftsmen in 38 years. It is the largest imperial mausoleum in China, listed in the World Heritage List and the common cultural heritage of people all over the world. The great first emperor reigned for twelve years and was buried in the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang after his death. He was an emperor who unified the six countries, so he was called the first emperor.

Terracotta Warriors and Horses are the burial pits of Qin Shihuang Mausoleum, located about 1 km and a half east of Qin Shihuang Mausoleum. They were discovered in 1974, which is one of the most important archaeological discoveries in contemporary times. We first came to the museum. Inside, the first thing we saw was a pair of animals that looked like geese and birds, but they were not birds. The tour guide said that they were the pets of Qin Shihuang, and the king of Qin liked them very much, so he had a pair carved in bronze and put them in the mausoleum, with two carriages at the back. The first carriage was used to clear the way, and the second carriage was used to entertain Qin Shihuang and his nobles. There were pottery figurines, weapons and sports at that time. Others are not very rare, but they are also colorful.

Then we visited the excavated tomb of Terracotta Warriors. The first pit was discovered by local farmers while digging wells. After drilling, No.2 pit and No.3 pit were discovered successively, of which 1 pit is the largest, with an area of 14260 square meters. There are pottery figurines in it, about 1.8 meters high, which are divided into general figurines, warrior figurines and automobile figurines. There is a fourth pit, but there is nothing in it.

After visiting the Terracotta Warriors, we visited Huaqing Pool in the afternoon. Huaqingchi is located at the northern foot of Lishan Mountain in Lintong District, Xi, 30 kilometers east of Xi. It is widely known because of the legend of Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei. In fact, Huaqing Pool has a very long history. As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Youwang once lived here, and Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi also built palaces here. In the Tang Dynasty, the construction was more extensive, especially the palaces and pavilions built by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty in Tianbao were more luxurious, and they were officially renamed as "Huaqing Palace". There are several hot springs in Huaqingchi. The temperature of the hot spring is over 40 degrees. There is a place to iron the feet of tourists in the cave. We are tired of visiting and have a rest there. It is very comfortable after ironing. It was already 6 pm when we visited Huaqing Pool, so we had to walk to the station to finish the day's visit.

After visiting these two scenic spots, I learned about the greatness of China's history. After a day's rest, I went to the Huangdi Mausoleum again. More than 4000 years ago, our ancestors cultivated in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins. The legendary Yellow Emperor was the tribal leader at that time. Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor is a descendant of Xiong. He can talk when he is born, and he can tell right from wrong after a few years. People in China thought the child was a god, so they named him Huangdi. When I entered the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, the first thing I saw was a big cypress tree. It was very tall, and there was a rectangular slate beside it, engraved with the words: The Yellow Emperor planted cypress trees himself. I can't help but be speechless; Day; Hand-planted cypress I don't know how it is planted! Then, we came to a temple. The sign on the temple said, "The first ancestor of mankind". Go in and have a look. In the middle of a large piece of plain bluestone is engraved a man, namely the Yellow Emperor. There are also dragons, white tigers, suzaku, Xuanwu and bronzes such as knives, forks and swords carved on all sides. Go on to the back of the temple, there is a pavilion. At the top of the building, there is a leaky dome with a square ground. The photographer said it was called a round place. We took some photos here and learned some stories about the Yellow Emperor, so we left Huangling in a hurry and returned to Xi 'an.

In Xi 'an, we visited Shaanxi History Museum, Famen Temple and Wild Goose Pagoda. Although I am very tired by car every day, I am still very excited, because I have learned about the history of China and many historical relics.

Time to go. I hate to leave Xi 'an. Sitting on the plane, I have been thinking about these days, which really makes me very happy. This trip made me feel the beauty and long history and culture of my motherland.

What a pleasant trip!
