Terra Cotta Warriors is located in Xian.It is the largest underground military museum in the world. It is so majestic. I was deeply shocked. Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes is an east art bright pearl. Its drawing is so charming. Making us to forget return. If you come to China, you should visit the two places.

    When you use words for a title of a written piece, they are capitalized except for the little words like of, the.  For example:  Memorable Vacation.  My Memorable Vacation of 2006.

    In 2006 I spent time on a memorable summer vacation.  or:  In 2006 I had a memorable summer vacation.

    .........with my colleagues during the 2006 summer vacation.  or:  .......during our vacation.

    I was deeply impressed.  Shocked would more likely be used as:  The waiters were rude and I was deeply shocked by their behavior.

    ......is a bright pearl of eastern art.  Its drawings are so charming, making us remember to return.  (or:  making us never forget to return.)

    Nice vacation!  : )

    Very good practice!  You're doing well!  : )

    It is unclear to me what "Making us to forget return" means. It sounds like some kind of Chinese idiom that did not translate well. Or, if CJay interprets it correctly then I support his correction.

    Good job!
