Farmer's House and Market in Xian


We left Beijing and arrived in Xian. We went from the airport to visit a local farmer who has also become an artist who sells his paintings throughout China. We had lunch in his family home and were welcomed with a celebration including a lion dance. After the celebration he let us perform some of the traditional welcoming ceremony. We also got to see some of his crops as well as peek in the barn and see the cows. After leaving his house we went to a local market and had a noodle dinner after shopping.
