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 history, Xi’an is capital of five Dynasties, Qin, Han, Sui, Tang and Western Zhou, so Xi’an has the rich and colorful cultural background. The site of the emperor and the style of the ancient structures add extra charm and beauty to this city.
The Western Zhou Chariot Burial Pit is a newly discovered Western Zhou cemetery. The excavation was excavated at Zhangjiapo in the Chang’an City in 1955. With a length of 5.6 meters (6 yards) and a depth of 2 meters (2 yards), the rectangular pit contains two wooden chariots with a length of 0.68 meters (2 feet), a width of 1.38 meters (4.5 feet) are arranged side by side in the pit with their wheels facing east. Doors with a width of 0.4 meters (1.3 feet) are lay at the rear of the chariots.
Every pit contains two chariots, one slave and six horses. One chariot decorated with bronze and comprising of a single shaft is drawn by four horses and was used for battlefield. The other chariot adorned with seashells is drawn by two horses and was used for transport or entertainment purpose.
In slave society, the slaves were buried when their masters died while they were still alive, killed or after committing a suicide. The nobles believed that tombs were their residence in the spiritual world after their death, so they buried their slaves alive for further impelling. This is the reason why the Western Zhou Chariot Burial Pit appeared.
