Fishing, that's a leisure activity which is not only helpful for refreshing your mind but also helpful to improve your power of patience. Being a Bangladeshi guy, I can live without meat and noodles but I can't without fish and rice as it is our national food. After five years living in Xi'an, I discovered an awesome place for fishing with wonderful landscape of mountain and stream.

If you like fishing, you shouldn't miss out such a beautiful spot if you visit Xi'an. It's called Yang Qiao which is located at the edge of Southern superb. It will only take 40 minutes for you to get there by bus from the TV tower. You can take either 905 or 923 bus to the South and simply get off at Yang Qiao. Afterwards, walk towards South for 50 meters where you will see a big gate and a sign board for fishing.

If you are confused about what to do during weekends this month in Xi’an or if you feel like you have visited almost all the places in Xi'an, then, you should gear up for a day trip to visit beautiful strawberry field and Cherry garden. They are not so far away from downtown neither inconvenient to get there.

It's gonna be very surprising to the people who have not seen strawberry field before cause they often think strawberry grows on the trees as the other usual fruits. Anyway, fresh strawberry right in your mouth straight from the field always tastes better than the ones from the market. You can take either 215 or 603 bus from the bell tower heading to south and get off at the bus stop Quzhengfu (区政府) to switch the bus to get on 4-08 bus to Luanzhen (滦镇). You gotta take Chinese typical Tricycle from Luanzhen to get to the strawberry field.

What are the criteria in China used for a company to be allowed to term the phrase “International” within the title of their business, eg International Hotel. It seems apparent to me that this is a clever deux started by someone, with an idea that far stretches meeting demands of “International” clients.

Let us dive deeper into this “International” word, by using two examples of places I have been at recently with the word in their names.

At a time when Beijing was only a remote trading outpost and Shanghai a tiny fishing village, Xi’an was the world’s first city to have a population of more than one million. It was also the first international commercial center in China, serving as a starting point for the Silk Road, and renowned cultural and political seat of power for 13 Chinese dynasties and 73 emperors.

Though long removed from its past glory, today’s Xi’an is the capital of Shaanxi Province and the largest city in northwestern China. Modern Xi’an is home to 41 universities and colleges, 3,300 research development and technological institutions, and more than 50 state-level laboratories and testing centers. Xi’an is recognized as perhaps the most important birthplace of classical Chinese civilization and culture, which in more modern times drives a booming tourism industry, welcoming more than 70 million domestic and an additional 1 million plus international visitors each year.

China’s Spring Festival, or Chinese New Year, is the most important festival for the Chinese population. It begins on the first day of the first Chinese lunar month (which usually falls between January and February of the Calendar of the Occident).

Traditionally, the Spring Festival is marked by sumptuous banquets, exorbitant gift exchange and celebrations. However, finally a more environmentally conscious educational campaign sponsored by the World Wildlife Fund has launched an initiative called ”Green Spring Festival” persuading the public towards a more energy conscious celebration. Spring Festival Tradition and Customs According to tradition and customs, the Spring Festival lasts 15 days with celebrations that are marked by exorbitant waste and energy use. Fireworks have been the mainstay of Spring Festivals.
