It could not have gone more beautifully and more deliciously. Tao's advice was invaluable. The food and presentation was fab, everyone loved everything and there were plenty of leftovers being eaten still as we speak. I appreciate Cece's help greatly and we will see you at the next special occasion or just the next good meal. Cheers!

It is also known for the ending of the legendary Silk Road, which for 1600 years was the seat of dynastic power, a sub-provincial city located in the center of the Guanzhong Plain in Northwestern China.
