Terracotta Warriors - it is extremely easy to get a student ticket here since the ticket sellers don't even bother looking at an ID. Just have any picture ID ready in case and say "xuesheng piao". Your ticket is now half the price.

Bargain for Terra Cotta Warriors souvenirs at the small stalls on the streets, learn some mandarin, bring a phrasebook with you. You will get a lot cheaper if you know and understand a bit Chinese.

Visiting the Muslim Quarter is a must for some of the tastiest food in China.

Xi'an est une ville chinoise connue grâce à son armée en terre cuite (site découvert il y a quelques années par hasard et qui attire aujourd'hui un grand nombre de visiteurs). On y trouve une armée en terre cuite grandeur nature...

Xi'an is a beautiful fortified city. When in Xi'an take the time to walk on the top of the walls, where you get an impressive view of the city. Also, you may visit the impressive Terracotta army or the Wild Goose Pagoda, both worth it.

This city has the highest population of college students- 800,000! It's second only to Beijing. It can get extremely cold here and heat is only available during certain months of the year. The Terracotta Soldiers are a must see for tourists.

It's worth the trip to see the Terracotta warriors-they are amazing! It's a little difficult to get there by train on certain days so make sure you check ahead of time.

I really didn't like this city very much, but the pollution had a lot to do with that! I've visited most provinces in China and few can compare with Shanxi in terms of coal burning ouput. I coughed solidly for three days, saw the terracottas, the muslim quarter and a couple of pagodas and quickly moved on.

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

Bell Tower Youth Hostel is a great place to stay if you want to have and English breakfast or a steak;) Pool table, Fussbaltable, Chill and lounge area... Double room for RMB150 Its right in the middle of the city. There is a little travel service at the reception and the staff speaks English.
