Xi'an is one of the oldest and most historic city in China. If we can figuratively say that China is a big tree, then Xi'an is its root.A delegation of 10 from Xi'an Tourism Administration Bureau came to London. They held a promotion reception at Regent Street Holiday Inn last night.
Kang Lifeng, Depute Director of Xi'an Tourism Administration told me the main purpose of their visit this time is to promote Xi'an tourism as well as to say thank you for all the travel agencies in the UK.
According to Chinese official statistic, there were 50,000 people from the UK paid a visit to China in 2006. The increasing amplitude of tourists from the UK to China is 25%.
Xi'an is the hometown of Terra-cotta. Apart from that, there are also another 6 gigantic museums.It is the headwaters of the Yellow River, which Chinese people call 'mother river'.
It is also the starting point of the Silk Road.
Kang said :" I hope there will be more British people come to Xi'an to experience the history, the life and the humanity."
Carey Fletcher, the Director of China Holidays Ltd predicted that the Chinese tourism will reach its peak in 2009 after the Olympics. He, himself, is very looking forward to seeing the fireworks.

I share what Kang says: when there is tourism in a country, it is expected that tourists can experience the culture, the history and the traditions of the place they visit. When I travelled to Argentina, I didn´t want to stay in Buenos Aires the whole time becuase I felt the country had so much more to give that the provinces were not going to let me down. I was right. I stayed at the spa hotel in calafate (in the South of the country) and the things I saw there I will not forget.
I advice you to go there if you ever take a trip to Argentina!
