I just got back from a great trip to the Silk Road. My friends from Canada went with me. On our trip, I realized many things about China. Our country has a very long history and a rich culture.
I saw and experienced a lot on the trip. We went to see the Terra Cotta Warriors and the ancient city of Xi'an.
The history of China is so alive in these places. I learned so much!
This trip opened my eyes. I saw my own history and culture in a new way. I hope to travel more around my country someday.
Where should I go next? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Here are some photos from my trip. Enjoy!
