| Post subject: Trip to Xian |
Hey Guys,
I will be going to Xian soon, and was wondering if any of you have advice on what to see, where to eat, and what to do! I know that i have to see the statues, and the mosque, but other than that i have pretty much no idea of the city. I will stay for 2 days only, so i will not be able to travel too far outside the city!
Any suggestions? |

the Shaanxi Provincial Museum in the city is worth seeing - I would do it before the soldiers as it helps put things in perspective

there's a local bus you can hope on for a couple of rmb, this starts at the railway station, near where the Xian Tourist Office is. Keep the bus ticket with you because you can hop on and off the bus along the route where it goes to the Hua ching Pool, Qin ShihHuang tomb and terrocotta warriors. In the city centre you can pay to climb the city walls. I ate at the local restuarant inside the Muslim quarters, lots of them around, i picked the cleanest i could find. at night, you take pictures of the drum tower and walk around the city centre. I stayed at the China Postal hotel which is opposite the drum tower. |
