Over the next two days, Zhang Qiang had people show them around Xi'an. Alvin and his whole family spent several days exploring the city.
Hukou Waterfall, Huaqing Palace, Mount Hua, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the Bell and Drum Tower, the Muslim Quarter...
Still curious, Alvin also visited the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor and Xuanyuan Temple...
But he didn't find a damn thing!
The kids loved Mount Hua the most...
The thrilling cliffside plank walk kept those lawless boys and girls coming back for more. They didn't care whether their old man could handle the excitement.
In the end, they left Alvin behind to babysit little Morgan while the rest of them took the plank walk up the mountain to experience Mount Hua's magnificent and treacherous scenery...
Alvin took two naps in the RV with little Morgan before the excited bunch finally came back down...
Alvin watched helplessly as little Ginny, who usually hated having her picture taken, showed off her photos of the Chess Pavilion and announced that she wanted to climb up again...
After calming the tour guide, who was on the verge of a breakdown...
Alvin used his authority and little Morgan's diapers to cow the bunch of nuisances. Then they headed back, ready to send everyone home to study for their exams...
When everyone returned to the Manor and started packing to go home, Stark and Frank pulled Alvin into a teahouse.
Seeing Alvin's utterly baffled expression, Stark took a metal box about the size of a wallet out of his pocket and handed it to him...
As Alvin curiously fiddled with the box, Stark frowned and said, "I don't know why you won't let me come down there with you...
But you have your reasons!
This exploration kit is a design I just finished.
