Daniel Li,
I am writing to you to thank you very much for our wonderful trip to Xian. The tour that you organised was fantastic. Sorry for the delay in feedback. I thank you for all your prompt and quick replies to our needs and desires for the tour that we took on Feb 10, 2008. You are very professional and provided what we had requested. I enjoyed my tour of Xian - from start to finish. It was most comforting to have my tour guide meet me at the airport. Your tour guide - Ms Mary Ma is exceptional in both her English and her knowledge of her subject. She is to be congratulated.
I have no hesitation in recommending your company to other travellers.
Thank you once again.
Kind regards
Janet Hawke

Xian Tomb of Crown Prince Yide
It is the tomb of Li Chongrun, the eldest son of Zhong Zong and grandson of Gao Zong and Wu zetian. He was sentenced to death at the very young age of just 19 for opposing his grandmother, Wu Zetian’s autocracy.
Located to the northwest of the country seat of Qianxian Country, it is the largest in scale, Emperor-level Tang Tomb that has been excavated so far. The tomb is mausoleum decorated with stone lions and other figures. It is made up of a paved way, three arches, six across-hole, seven courtyards as well as eight niches. Endowed with a large number of fine artifact, it extends 256.6 meters long from north to south and 214.5 meters wide.
The structure features a remarkable array of murals throughout that illustrate the court’s dailylife in Tang Dynasty including tri-color figurine “shooting while lying on horseback”, which is the only known item in China, and the rare treasure “que lou yi zhang tu”.
The tomb of Crown Prince Yide has been listed as one of the first officially designated protected sites in China.
