The People's Republic of China Travel & Cruise with Bruce Oliver Go to:    Home    2    3    4    5    6    7    8   MAIN SITE   BLOG PAGE 5 Chongqing, CHINA (previously called Chungking) In April of 1977, Chongqing was separated from Sichuan Province, and became an independent municipality, encompassing the entire Yangtze Valley between Wushan (Lesser Three Gorges) and Chongqing proper. We toured this proud mountain city, which was the capital of China during World War II, and which today is the most important inland industrial city in China. PAINTERS VILLAGE - WITH MASTER JIN LIN   GENERAL STILLWELL'S RESIDENCE IN CHONGQING CHONGQING   XIAN, CHINA When ancient Peking was just a remote trading post, Xian was the capital of the Middle Kingdom and one of the world's biggest and richest cities. It's a dry northwestern plateau in China. Here palaces, pavilions and pagodas crowned the skyline - and artists, poets and cooks catered to the most demanding imperial tastes. XIAN / TERRA COTTA ARMY The Terra Cotta Warrior Army is China's greatest archaeological attraction, the terra cotta warriors of the Qin Army. The life-sized infantrymen and archers, officers and their horses guard the tomb of the first Qin emperor. Walkways permit tourists a bird's-eye view of the site, revealing the deployment of the troops and the crumbled state in which many of the figures were found. Appreciate the touches that made each of the warriors an individual - a varying headdress, a moustache or beard, or a different look about the eyes. The eager, graceful horses also have distinctive traits. Also in Xian, China are the Banpo Museum, archaeological site of a 6,000-year-old Neolithic village and the Big 'Wild Goose and Little Wild Goose Pagodas - the two most famous pagodas in China due to their age and historical significance.                        The Reed Flute Cave. The cave burrows deep into a hill, and on the surface grow reeds suitable for making flutes. Inside the cave are bizarre formations with poetic names.   Go to:    Home    2    3    4    5    6    7    8   MAIN SITE   BLOG ©1998-2010 Bruce L Oliver, Enfield CT
