Girl was surprised by the present from her father — a travel package to China to visit the famous museums of Xi'an. 西安市, China - January 10, 2015 - (iNewswire)
Michiko is a freshman in college in Japan studying Asian history. She told her parents how amazed she was when she took a class in Chinese history. She hoped she could visit China and check out those historical landscapes, ancient sites, and cultural heritage. Her dream will come true in the spring of 2015.
LVPAD.COM offered Michiko this free travel package. LVPAD.COM is a Chinese travel website that provides travel information on distinct attractions, destinations, and tour packages in China, offers ten free travel packages to their customers every year. Mr. Sakamoto, Michiko’s father, was randomly selected to receive on of these free packages in late December. The packages include tours of historical and cultural sites, as well as landscape and food tours. Michiko’s present, a special museum tour of Xi’an, China, includes tickets for 6 world-renowned museums, roundtrip airfare between Japan and China, hotel, local transportation, and a travel guide. The museums she will visit are:
1. Terracotta Warriors and Horses
Known far and wide as the most significant archaeological excavation of the 20th century, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses discovered is not a sight to be missed by any visitor to Xi’an, China. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses were the first of their kind in all of Chinese history, a notable contribution to our knowledge of ancient China. Now referred to as the Eighth Wonder of the World, the significance of the Terracotta Warriors has been compared to that of the pyramids in Egypt and is undoubtedly one of the most popular tourist destinations anywhere in China!
2. Shaanxi History Museum
The newly built Shaanxi History Museum, designed as an ode to grand Tang Dynasty architecture, contains over 115,000 objects in its splendid collections and is known far and wide as a symbolize of the great extent of Shaanxi history and its remarkable culture. The Museum's exciting permanent exhibition primarily displays Shaanxi's impressive ancient history. Representative pieces from all periods have been selected to show the significant development of civilization in this region. Visitors to the museum will learn of the incredible influence the Shaanxi province has had on China in both ancient and more modern times.
3. Stele Forest Museum
The Stele Forest Museum of Xi’an, also called the Forest of Stone Steles or the Beilin Museum, is highly regarded throughout China for its extensive and well-preserved collection of more than 2,000 engraved stone tablets dating from the Han to the Qing Dynasties. The historical records describe some of China’s largest achievements, political events, and show much of the nation’s cultural development.
4. Daming Palace
Just northeast of present-day Xi’an, Daming Palace was best known for its historic role as the main royal palace of China in the Tang Dynasty where the emperors from this period lived and dealt with state affairs. The Palace, located in Xi’an for the city’s strategic and influential station as the eastern terminus of the Silk Road, was more than four times the size of the Forbidden City in Beijing and three times the size of the famously extravagant Palace of Versailles in Paris. Today, Daming Palace is designated as a national heritage site of China as it was widely considered to be a masterpiece of Chinese architecture.
5. Fa Men Temple
Built during the Eastern Han Dynasty to enshrine the sacred finger bone of the Sakyamuni Buddha, Fa Men Temple (or Fa Men Si), its pagoda and museum are famous worldwide as a holy place for Buddhism. It is the largest Buddhist underground palace ever unearthed, and widely regarded as one of the two most famous cultural symbols of the Shaanxi Province, second only to the world renowned Terracotta Warriors and Horses. Visitors will be in awe of the massive gilded statues that line the plaza up to the temple, the incredible discovery of ancient treasure, and of the sheer magnitude of all of it.
6. Great Mosque of Xi’an
Built in the Tang Dynasty, the Great Mosque of Xi’an is one of the oldest, largest, and best-preserved Islamic mosques in China. Built in the year 742 A.D. during the highly influential Tang Dynasty, the Great Mosque is best known for the mix of traditional Muslim and Chinese design elements present in its architecture.
Hope Michiko will enjoy her discovering trip with this special present!
