Adventures in Xi'an

From Beijing we took an overnight train to Xi’an. One of the highlights in Xi’an was visiting the Xi’an City Wall. When we got there we rented bikes and it took a little over an hour to ride around the whole city.




Sammy and I chose the tandem bike, which may seem easier because there are two of us, but we still did the same amount of work believe it or not.


The day and a half we were here we visited The Shaanxi Museum, The Great Mosque, The Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Terra-cotta Army. In 1974, local farmers were drilling a well in search of water when some pottery fragments were discovered.


More than 6,000 terra-cotta Warriors and horses have been found in Pit 1, it is the largest and measures 230 meters long from east to west and 62 meters wide from north to south.



The warriors were really neat to see, but I’m not going to lie…sometimes all this history stuff is not very interesting. So occasionally Sammy and I will wander off and have our own adventures!


Dumplings here are very famous, so we had a dumpling dinner and watched the Tang Dynasty Show.



Xi’an has been all of our favorite city hands down. It’s too bad we were only here for a day and a half.
