Say Hi to You all---A brief introduction about me
Recently, the most important thing for me is to be an egg staff and join this great community. This is really a great place for learning and relaxingJ. I have learnt a lot from you guys in the past two months. But, I am still a newbie in this world, so, I will try my best to learn as much as I could from you guys. You can find me any where in the near further, like ‘introduction’, ‘shopping experience’, ‘product support’ and etc. I hope to see you guys around.
I’m a Chinese girl and living in Xi’an now. I really enjoy the life here, as people are quite friendly and honest in this city. This is a great city which syncretized both historical sites and modern civilizations. In Xi’an city, you can find many places of historical interests of different dynasties, such as the tarry cotta warriors and horses of 2000 years ago, the big wild goose pagoda of 1000 years ago, the bell and Drum Tower of 700 years ago…
One of the landmarks building in Xi’an city is the City Wall, the most complete and the best-preserved city wall in China. The City wall of Xi’an is an extension of the prior Tang Dynasty structure, and it was originally built in the Ming dynasty, about 700 years ago by the order of the first emperor. The City Wall of Xi’an, after its extension in the Ming Dynasty, has a rectangular-shaped construction. Its total length is 13.7 kilometers, and stands 12 meters high. There are four main gates of the City Wall- one on each side—named the east gate, west gate, south gate, and the north gate. The four gates of the City Wall were the only way to go into and out of town. In Xi’an, each of the four gates consists of three gate towers. They have different functions according to their locations: the one located on the top of the main part of the City Wall is the inner one and is also the main entrance to the city; the one located outside the City Wall is used to lift and lower the suspension bridge; and the one in the middle is the arrow tower which has square windows in the front and on the two sides to shoot arrows.
Nowadays, there is still a complete moat around the City Wall. A circular park has been built along the City Wall and it becomes one of the most popular places for the local people to spend their leisure time, especially to do their morning exercises.
Although surrounded by this ancient building, Xi’an has also got a fast-speed development in recent years. With abundant resources, the tourist industry plays an important role in economic development of this city, and in the year of 2011, the Weltausstellung f.der Gartenbaukunst (世界园艺博览会) will be held in Xi’an.
