Xi'an History

Great city, lots of history, lots of culture. Tons of must see sites here.

This is the city to see the Terra Cotta Warriors. Definitely a can't miss tourist attraction. To see these hundreds of warriors is a piece of ancient history.

Amazing City steeped in History and the Capitol City of the first Chinese Empire of the Qing Dynasty.

Highlights without a doubt are the Terraccotta warriors and cycling around Xian City walls for history, a visit to the Aincient Mosque and medicine market where you will find all sorts of weird and wonderful things to eat for your health (provided you like scorpions, geko and horse penis with a side helping of Hedgehog.

The city is situated on the Yellow river and is an overnight train journey from Beijing so is worth taking provisions and alcohol.

It is amazing to see the old city on one side with the new build up part of it outside the old city walls.

Strongly recommend the Xian Hotel and also tring out a Chinese Hot Pot but using chopsticks is a must so it will be good to get some practice in.
