Day Trip South of Xi'an
Julia has
posted several pictures from the trip she and her fellow students took today to sights south of Xi'an. My favorites:
Julia: "Well I can't even explain these steps with words so I hope a picture will suffice, although this picture doesn't even capture all the steps. Let's just say by the time I got to the top I was proud of it. And the view was amazing! We were at the peak of a mountain [Zhashui Dong] and we could look down and see the town and this military training camp in the valley."
Julia: "... then there were these Buddhist monks giving us incense and then I turn around and see a huge golden Buddha against the wall. Well they told us to make a wish and then put our incense in this sand pit. It was interesting."(You can see some images of the eighteen-kilometer tunnel one drives through to get from Xi'an to the mountains the students visited
here.)
