Xi paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi and also wrote in the visitor's book.
The visit to the Sabarmati riverfront saw Xi and his wife enjoying every moment as Gujarati folk dancers in colourful attire performed.
The couple took a stroll along the banks of the river that has been developed into a landscaped park with fountains and tents and other modern amenities.
Modi kept up a constant conversation with Xi as they strolled along the riverfront, inviting him to sit with him on a swing made from Sankheda wood, pointing out things of significance to the Chinese first couple, and even clapping to the tabla beat during a folk dance performance.
