My name is Valeriia. I’m from Kyrgyzstan and I’m studying in a university in Xi’an. I’ve been to some cities in China, such as Shanghai, Tianjin and Beijing, but I’m always happy when I come back to Xi’an. It is warmer and more colorful than Beijing. The best thing in Shaanxi Province for me is mountains. I used to see mountains around the city in my childhood. And I really love it. So, Xi’an city in Shaanxi Province feels like my second hometown in China.
Culture is another thing which can surprise people. In China, we can see all those stories about ancient China like Silk Road, wars and so on. We can feel the history when we are walking in city, hear it by listening to drums of Bell Tower, see it by looking at Terracotta Warriors, touch it by touching stones of Xi’an City Wall.
As we know, now environment has been a worldwide problem and it was exciting to know the government is trying to make Xi’an a Sponge City. Rains can be dangerous sometimes and I believe that after realizing the plan, the city will be safer in rain seasons and can be used as an example for others.
What I really want to say is that the Chinese government gives great chances to foreigners not only to get education, but also to get knowledge about China, the country with so long history and fantastic language.
