The Canaan International Hotel key card included the following traveler tips: "1. Terra-cotta warrior museum -- It makes Xian famous. 2. Hair salon with prostitutes in it -- They will rip you off." My two boys thought this was great advice for the average Xian tourist.

A voir : L'incontournable Armée enterrée de l'empereur Qin (Bingmayong) La grande Mosquée (Hua re Xiang) La forêt des Stèles (Beilin Bowuguan) A éviter : L'auberge de jeunesse "7 Sages"

Watch out for pick pockets, they are everywhere after dark!

From personal experience, I got sick at the fancy Chinese restaurants. So don't even bother. Go to the dirty-looking, one car garage sized restaurants and just pick something (or ask the staff to pick something really Chinese or really Western friendly) that sounds yummy. Chances are you'll be going back and talking about that place for years.
