Xi'An 西安
highpeak, 06:50h
We arrived in the morning with the train in Xi'An
and went directly to a hostel. Luckily we could get the room already at 8 am, which was nice and clean, good value for the money.
We headed to the Bell Tower and to the Muslim street,
visited the old Mosque of Xi'An (which looked more like a chinese temple).
In the afternoon the weather cleared up a bit after the rain in the morning so we decided to be a bit more sportive and rented some bikes for a quick race on top of the city wall, which is almost 14 km long.
Was quite fun and some good excercise befroe we met my friends Thomas and Lisa for another Tepanyaki dinner. The evening ended in Soho bar, seems this club is everywhere in China.
The second day we took the bus to the Terracotta army, for me now the 4th time to be there (and this time really the last visit!). Packed with people as usual, Markus took the pictures, I already have many from the last
visits.
After being back to Xi'An we visited the Big Wild Goose Pagoda
and walked through the streets of Xi'An back to the Muslim Street to grab a quick dinner
and than further on for our next night train trip to the western part of China.
Up to here the trip was pretty easy, next stop is Xining, the adventure will start there...
