Hundreds of reporters from both sides of the Taiwan Straits, Hong Kong, Macao
and other countries arrived in Xi'an, capital of northwest China's Shaanxi
Province, Wednesday to get prepared for the first leg of the upcoming visit by
James C. Y. Soong, chairman of People First Party (PFP).
The local information office is preparing a press release for reporters and
issuing press cards for them.
Some reporters have gone to the Huangdi Mausoleum, 130 km from Xi'an, to get
prepared for Soong's visit. The China Central Television Station and the Shaanxi
provincial television station will broadcast Soong's arrival at Xianyang Airport
and visit to Huangdi Mausoleum live, two major venues of his upcoming visit to
Shaanxi.
Qinghua University in Beijing is also preparing for Soong's arrival,
expecting him to give a speech. Despite many students' and faculty members'
desire to witness this historical occasion, the university's conference hall
only has a capacity of 600. Lots will be drawn to determine seating.
Nanjing is the second stop of Soong's mainland visit. All the scenic spots
Soong will visit will remain open to the public.
South China Airlines has selected stewardesses coming from Hunan to serve
Soong during his flight as Soong is a native of Hunan.
His hometown has prepared delicious local specialities such as bacon, rice
wine and tea for Soong. Villagers have also paved a cement road leading to the
tomb of Soong's late father.
