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

In south west of Xi’an, about 38 kilometers away, there is a country-Huxian, which is named “the country of Chinese folk painting in modern times”. It adds an important art to Xi’an, the ancient county, with its bright and colorful peasant paintings. Nowadays, it is called “the birthplace of the paintings”.
The painting movement is said o have originated in the late 1950s and during 1966-1976 Cultural Revolution the painting was shown abroad to prove the outside world that common, ordinary workers could produce works of art. At that time, the subjects of the paintings often focused on ordinary life as well as work. Many of the paintings are tend to the politics, with the title like “I Grow Grain and Cotton for our Motherland” and “Never Forget the State after a Good Harvest”. Today, the ordinary aspects of people’s lives are still the theme of the paintings. In addition to focusing on the work, the paintings pay more attention to all parts of the life, including festivals, parades, the harvest, music, village traditions, farm animals, winter, kitchen work and lovely children. All of these will encourage you to join the celebration of life.
It is undoubted that the peasant painting is the most brilliant page in the history of Huxian, Xi’an of China.
