Tourist spots there have reopened after the May 12 Earthquake. And finally, we'll focus on the Chinese people's financing life, 30 years after the initiation of the reform and open-up policy.

For all these stories and more, stay tuned to Life in China!

The Art Glass World of Liuli Workshop
If you are a fan of Swarovski Crystal, news from China will come as a treat. Liuli Gongfang has become the first workshop in China to use glass as an art medium.

Xi'an Tourist Spots Reopen
According to a survey from Xi'an Tourism Bureau, the city received more than 2 million tourists over the National Day holiday this year.

Du Lijun has the story.
