Last year we documented a group of travel agents from Brazil’s first trip to China. It was such a memorable experience that they made a video of their time in Xi’an that was aired on the World Travel Channel in Brazil. Read about there time in Xi’an here and scroll to the bottom to watch their fun video.

After a few days in Beijing, the group from Brazil traveled to China’s ancient capital in Xi’an. Check out everything they managed to pack into their two days there.
