【推荐3】China’s famous museums include ancient buildings and world class modern museums with big collections. They are excellent places for sightseeing and learning about China.

Sanxingdui Museum

The museum is on the path less beaten by tourists, but it makes one of the top museums for the 3,400-year-old artworks. If you’re an ancient history fan, this place will attract you. If you love art, its style will surprise you a lot.

The Palace Museum

The museum is one of the largest old building kept in the country with a history of 600 years old. Built at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty between 1406 and 1420, it was the home of 24 rulers and their courts. It is one of the fines buildings in China and a good place to study Chinese history.

The Shanghai Museum

The big modern museum is popular with foreign tourists. It is probably the most modern museum with the focus on creative art displays about the history of the whole area. Most famous for its huge collection of china, it is in People’s Square which is also a popular tourist attraction.

The Shaanxi History Museum

Since 14 historical dynasties founded their capitals and developed in Shaanxi Province, the museum may have the oldest treasure of all museums in Chins. The artworks show the greatness of the museum, and the displays are modern and well laid out.

【推荐1】Dublin is the capital of Ireland and is the largest city in the country. The best time to visit Dublin is in late spring and early autumn. These months offer the best combination of smaller crowds but better weather. The warmest days arrive in June, July and August, but these months tend to bring huge crowds of visitors and English-language students.

Language: The spoken language in Dublin is English, with a lot of local Irish words and expressions thrown in.

Currency: The currency used in Dublin is the Euro. International credit cards are also widely accepted, but it is a good idea to have some cash on hand — particularly if you plan to take Dublin Bus, which only accepts exact change in coins.

Getting Around: The best way to get around Dublin is to walk. The city is small enough that most of the major sites and best places to eat can be reached within 15 minutes on foot, so renting a car is usually more trouble than it is worth.

Things to Do:

Dublin Castle: book ahead to visit the richly decorated State Apartments, or stop by to admire the 13th century towers and beautiful gardens.

The Guinness Storehouse: visit the birthplace of Ireland’s favorite beer, learn how to pour a perfect pint(品脱), and enjoy a drink overlooking the rooftops of Dublin in the Gravity Bar.

Of course, it is possible to visit Dublin without drinking, but it would be a missed opportunity to try some of the local favorites.

Culture and Customs:

Visitors will probably recognize many of the customs in Dublin as familiar, but there are a few differences between what is polite in Ireland versus the US. Tipping, for instance, is almost never done at a pub (unless you are telling the barman to keep the change), and most restaurants add a tip automatically as part of a service charge. But you are free to tip your tour guide.

【推荐3】Must-see landmarks for your Xi’an tour

Xi’an is famous for its rich, diverse collection of historical and cultural treasures. If you are planning a tour there, check out these recommended attractions.

Built in the Ming Dynasty(1368-1644), Xi’an City Wall served as a military defense system. Now it is one of the oldest and best-preserved Chinese city walls, dividing the city into inner and outer areas. When you take a walk or cycle on the massive wall, you can enjoy a good view of the city and the watchtowers.

One of China’s most famous Buddhist towers, the Giant wild Goose Pagoda was built in the Tang Dynasty (618-907)for the study of Buddhist scriptures(经文).One of its main functions was to store scriptures and carvings brought to China from India by a famous monk, who stayed here for 19 years translating Buddhist scriptures.

The Shaanxi History Museum is home to over 370,000 precious relics unearthed in Shaanxi over the years. Its collections range from bronze wares to pottery figures, and mural paintings from the Tang Dynasty(618-907)tombs. It’s indeed a paradise for lovers of ancient Chinese treasures.

The Muslim Quarter is a famous attraction for its authentic Muslim cultural atmosphere. Taking a stroll there, you could find unending lines for various restaurants and food stalls, where you can get a taste of the culture of the Hui ethnic group living there.

Constructed in Qin Dynasty(221 BC-207 BC), the Terracotta Army is one of the most significant archeological finds of the 20th century. Pit 1, one of the three in the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, is the largest with over 6,000 terracotta figures and fewer than 2,000 on regular display. Each figure differs in facial features. People can get insight into the history and culture of that period.
