Get ready to explore Xi'an's historical wonders with Ma Ying-jeou! 🌟 Ma Ying-jeou, the former chairman of the Kuomintang, is on an exciting journey through northwest China's Shaanxi Province, and he's bringing along a delegation of young people from Taiwan. 🎒 On Saturday, Ma visited the Xi'an branch of the China National Archives of Publications and Culture, right in the heart of Xi'an, the capital city known for its rich history and ancient treasures. 🏛️ Liu Chengyong, the director of the archives, gave Ma a special tour, showcasing a selection of precious ancient books and texts. Ma was amazed and said, \"The archives have preserved so many ancient books well, making an indelible contribution to the spread of Chinese civilization.\" 📚✨ Earlier in the week, Ma and the delegation touched down in Guangdong Province. On Thursday, they participated in a heartfelt ceremony in Shaanxi to pay homage to Huangdi, also known as the Yellow Emperor – the legendary ancestor of all Chinese people. 🙏💛 Their adventure didn't stop there! They've been exploring iconic sites like the Ma Yuan Memorial Temple, Ma Yuan Tomb, the majestic Famen Temple, the ancient Xi'an City Wall, and the world-famous Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum (yes, the one with the Terracotta Warriors!). 🗺️🤩 And guess what? Their cultural journey continues as they plan to visit the Shaanxi History Museum on Sunday. If you're a history buff or just love epic travel tales, this trip is one for the books! 📖🧳
