After the forbidden city we went to Tiananmen square and we walk from one end to the other and on there other side there was this bike and on the back of it, it had a trolley and on the trolley there was some really nice toffee coated q and there we got the metro to a temple were we could see sooooo much.











We then went to a show called ‘the legend of kung fu’ and it told a story about kung fu, and the dancing was fantastic and I think that they should make up a word for how amazing it was.

Day 14 Xian Wall

Today we did the city wall at Xian and we took a golf buggy around and we got to see everything as well the view was fantastic and when we were near the end of our trip around the wall my brother decided that he wanted to beat the buggy to the end and because the buggy was waiting for some people to move my brother jumped out when we started moving and he was holding on to the rear hand rail and he step on his shoelace and fell on the fall as the buggy took of and everyone around us was looking and staring and we think someone shouted out at the diver that he fell out. in Chinese. after the buggy we hired some bikes and one of them was a tandem and the other was a single first it was me and my mum and we raced Jacob and we smashed him then it was Jacob and mum verses me and I smashed them because they nearly fell of the bike. And when I went with Jacob I was at the front and I couldn’t keep the handle bars still because Jacob was mucking about and when it was my turn at the back we could hardly get started and at the end I put my arms out like an aeroplane and sang I like aeroplane jelly aeroplane jelly for me I like it for breakfast and I like it for tea aeroplane jelly for me.
Our next stop was the train station so we could catch the over night train to Bejing.

There was also some dead bodys that they found and they think that one of them is the chief of the village and there was a tomb with two men and another one with four women.
