By: Monachu
Hello, mom!
First, we came to centre of Xi'an, can see the famous "Bell Tower". It is one of the signs of Xi'an, but recently China has big fog, we don't have a good weather take photos. You can see, "Bell Tower " now in the maintenance period, all wrapped. At least until February 6th to open again. Unfortunately, we do not see the beautiful Bell Tower!
About it, please see: Bell Tower
Nearby here is the " Jinhua " square, it has a lot of traditional architecture. Also can buy a coffee or ice cream.
This is a very famous restaurant in Xi'an, name is: 同盛祥(Tong sheng xiang). It was founded in 1920.
This also is a very famous restaurant in Xi'an, name is: 德发长(De fa chang). It was founded in 1936.
Have people practice Chinese calligraphy.
Then we come to Drum Tower of Xi'an. And the bell tower, it is also one of the symbol of Xi'an. It was built in 1380, was a very famous history. Of course, it is also in the maintenance period, when the February 6th open again. About it, please see: Drum Tower
This is the drum tower monument:
Now we went to "Huimin Street". This is a very famous place in Xi'an, it is Muslim living place. So there are a lot of Chinese traditional flok art works shop and characteristics food. We often come here, take the Metro from our house just needs two station. There are famous Mosque, many tourists from different countries will came to this street to visit.
This is a small alley of this street. This looks like a gate's building, we call it: Pailou (or Paifang). Please see this: Pailou
These statues, described the some Chinese people 100 years ago's life.
This is the heritage of the Xi'an, it is an old house. In 1871, there is a person in the ancient national exams, get second. So emperor rewarded him with a large house. This house structure is very complex, very beautiful. This time we did not go in, but later we will again.
This old house have a monument, it's address is in this Street No.144.
This is the most famous "Great Mosque of xi'an". Please see this: 清真大寺
This are traditional Chinese folk art works, very interesting! Now as a kind decoration.
This is the famous family shop has a 100 years history, it began selling traditional taste of beef and mutton from 1928. There also have other traditional snacks, hostmom most like their "persimmon cake".
This is a most famous "Baozi" restaurant in Xi'an, very delicious. CCTV and other many media also reported it, many stars will also come here to taste.
I have a happy day!

BajraSandhi-Bali, Indonesia - 18th March 2013
By: Linda Fdph
Hello Mom
Its a rainy day , and almost the strom, but we spend a little time to visit Bajra Sandhi Monument
The picture maybe not so good,because its a cloudy and some scenes taken during the drizzling rain.
About the Bajra Sandhi itself , the architecture is very unique, taking the shape of Bajra or Genta, a bell that used by Hindu Priests during religious ceremonies. It is also a symbol of the bond between males and females that creates prosperity according to the epic that tells the story of the Gods struggle to get the Water of Eternity.
