xi'an is definitely one of the most exotic cities in China. As the only city with an intact city wall (beijiing used to have one but was pulled down by chairman mao's order), xi'an has gained its name hundreds of years ago as the start point of famous Silk Road.
The Terracotta Army is definitely not the only reason for you to go there. The muslim quarter near the Bell and Drum tower square is fantastic both in day and night time. I can never move my feet when i smell the smell of Kebab on the street.
Shann'xi History Musem is one of the best in China (much better than Shanghai Museum) and you can spend a whole day in it.
Near the South City Gate, there is a short street called De Fu Xiang, full of bars and coffee shops. For wild night life you can go to China Town, Ku LA LA or 1+1, three of the most famous night club in town.
The Forrest of Steles is also a must if you like China traditional cultures.
For dining, you can try Lao Sun Jia, the most famous lamb stew restaurant in China with more than 100 years history, but for most of foreigners, the smell of lamb soup and the pain staking process of breaking the bread by hand will be the main obstacle. You can also go to try the De Fa Chang, a very famous dumping restaurant in Xi'an.
Walking alone in back street after 10:00 pm is not adversed.
Accomodation: the Royal Hotel (Nikko hotel) in the downtown is the best either in location or price

Travel tips in Guilin & Yangshuo
1. In Guilin you can go to visit Lu Di Yan - a 2 kilometers' long cave under ground with beautiful.
2. the Li JIang river cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo by boat has been totally controlled by government and only available at 9am, 10am. Foreign travellers will be double charged and the food on the boat is horrible (thats why most of our guest choose to ride bicycle or bus to Yangshuo)
3. From Yangshuo you can take bus to Xing Ping, where you can take privately owned boat to cruise the river (illeagal acturally but full of fun)
4. You can go to see the local folk musical show on the river called " Yin Xiang, Liu San Jie" (Impression, Liu San Jie) - Liu San Jie is a lengendary female folk music singer.
