Travel Blogs from Xi'an, China
Terracotta Warriors!!!!!
This is a top pick! Of course we had the option to book a tour with our hostel to the warriors but from what we'd looked into it was extremely easy to do on your own. We just confirmed what bus we needed to take from the train station to the Terracotta Warrior Museum ...
Busing it to Beijing
This is a top pick! ... heavier, good thing we`re meeting James` parents in June and can send some stuff home! We got to the station at least an hour before we were to leave so we went about trying to find out where the waiting room was. The bus attendents didn`t ...
Beijing to Xi'an
This is a top pick! ... differences in culture and dress was very interesting and we tried some of the food from the street vendors. Our stop over in Xi'an was only a flying visit and we stayed only one night there. Next stop is Chengdu in the Sichuan Province. ...
The Illness
This is a top pick! ... Scotland. We had a bunch of beers in the hotel bar, then went out into the night. After strolling through the Xi'an red light district - a rather sweaty and unpleasant affair where the ladies wear thick tights that almost disguise the horrific rashes ...
A Terracotta Christmas
This is a top pick! ... but it wasn't snowing. The translation came to us over the airplane public address amid the groans of the Chinese passengers-no landing in Xi'an yet, bad weather. Fog, to be exact. There were five of us from Foshan on the flight, Dan and I as well ...
Xi'an, Ancient Capital of China
This is a top pick! ... bread, the smaller the peaces the better. The next day Mimi wanted to see the tomb of the only woman emperor of China. It is far from Xi'an but her name was Wu. Wu is a common name when spelled in English but the Chinese character for the emperor's ...
Xiantastic

Into mainland China finally
This is a top pick! ... my sight a good 40 kms from the airport, but it turned out to be the most convenient system I've ever used. On to Xi'an, I get in after dinner and meet up with Christine (from Cape Town) and her friend Nadia (living in Shenzen but from South ...
How much fun can you have in a rickshaw?
This is a top pick! ... us. It was one of the funniest journeys we have had so far, madness! At the station we found that our train was delayed by an hour and a half so we had a few beers and waited in the heaving waiting hall. We stocked up on beer for the train and ...
Xian and the Terracotta Soldiers
This is a top pick! ... to some famous hot springs where the actual spa area is awful but the complex is amazing. After a brief tour we head back to Xi'an where we check out the city wall which makes the city so unique. We walk around the city and head to an ...
Terracotta men, thousands of them!
This is a top pick! ... going on on the sleeper train though, so I felt a bit like a terracotta zombie when we exited the train. Immediately you notice that Xi'an is a tad different than Beijing, a bit more primitive and chaotic. It has a bit more of a Moscow feel to it. ...
Day 28
This is a top pick! ... were off to the Terracotta Army. It's about away from Xi'an so the 7 of us walked down to the bus station to catch a bus. Xi'an has a city within a city, the most central part (about 15 square kilometres) of Xi'an is walled off. The wall itself is quite ...
We are Terracotta Warriors
This is a top pick! ... seat so as to have room to spread out. Was only a 6 hour journey and ther was even a toilet stop. When we got to Xi'an we somehow negotiated a taxi ride across town, another mentalist taxi driver, as they all seem to be. Xi'an isnt as pretty as ...
Scary Train? Expensive Plane?...Maybe the Bus?
This is a top pick! When we arrived at the bus station in Xi'an there was someone there from the hostel to pick us up. He asked us how long we were staying and if we had train tickets already because they would be very hard to get on short notice; of course we didn't have ...
I-Phone anybody?
This is a top pick! ... station was absolutely huge and we boarded the train after a short wait in an equally huge waiting room. It was going to take 13 hours to get to Xi'an in an upright seat, we got out the blow up head pillows and hoped for the ...
Chinese Surprises (including a ride in a cop car!)
This is a top pick! ... ) After the hustle and bustle of Beijing, last night was quite refreshing - we had two amazing experiences when going out in Xi'an. Firstly (after it had stopped raining), we went for a wander around the backstreets of the Muslim quarter and really ...
A little bit of luxury
This is a top pick! ... . We got to the hostel and didn't do a great deal except shelter from the rain (yes rain again), have a big breako, have a laugh, an afternoon sleep, a watch of An Officer and a Gentleman, and dinner / drink most of the day. We booked on to the ...
China - Xi'an
This is a top pick! The overnight train from Beijing to Xi'an was fairly luxurious, comfortable and surprisingly quiet, but for some reason we still didn't get much sleep. In fact, Verdi didn't get a wink! Regardless of this fact, when we arrived in Xi'an the first ...
Day 27
This is a top pick! I didn't feel very well this morning, I don't know whether it was last night's beer, weeks of spicy oriental food, or the post-club McDonald's but something wasn't right. I read on the internet that North Korea had been detected detonating nuclear ...
Lots of soldiers, and great food.
This is a top pick! ... lame yes, but i didn't mention this to anyone else. factish update! a couple of thousand years ago, some power hungry tyrant united china (through war and death), then used 750 000 people over 30 or 40 years to build himself a tomb about 50sq km in size. ...
Two more days in Xi'an
This is a top pick! Friday 10 June: Today was a free day in the ancient old city of Xi'an: a chance to explore. A few of us headed out early to catch Tai Chi in the park outside the city walls - Chinese generally seem to have a healthy approach to exercise and early ...
Anyone seen any Warriors !!!
This is a top pick! ... to tell us all about the place. History The terracotta army was discovered by accident in 1974 at Xian, in China, when 4 local farmers digging a well broke into a pit containing 6000 life-size terracotta figures. Excavation in 1976 revealed two ...
Xi'an
This is a top pick! Flew from Beijing to Xi'an very early Wednesday morning. I tried, quite unsuccessfully, to take a penknife through Chinese customs and then landed myself with a new Swiss Army Knife = result! We need to keep this short as we are eager ...
Francisco de Stepho
This is a top pick! ... for the day. We all had to introduce ourselves on the bus and say where we were from and what we were doing in China. She gave us a rundown on the site and amongst other things told us that the Emperor was buried about 1 1/2 kms from the ...
Hidden Army
This is a top pick! ... more than a mound but no doubt so much more if it is ever excavated with supposedly lakes of liquid mercury inside. Back in Xi'an we all headed to the Muslim snack street for some dinner with the others trusting the fact that I was still upright and ...
Nighttraining through Northern China
This is a top pick! ... . Then we had more of that great food. Ah, the food, the food. DATONG North of Pingyao, in China's less attractive coal-mining area, Datong is an unassuming city with no real sights. But hop on the local tourist office's daytrip bus and you'll be ...
Home of the Terricotta Warriors
This is a top pick! ... in Chinese as what it is in English! Only 16 hours though, so it wasn't too long in the scheme of things for China. Xi'An is a heavily polluted city, but a welcoming city with it's easy grid layout and efficient bus service. The heart of the city is ...
Checking out the Terracotta Army
This is a top pick! ... lot (Chengdu - pandas, Leshan - standing Buddha and then a cruise down the Yangtze through the 3 Gorges) in before we leave China. Hopefully the weather will get better and we won't be too tired to appreciate it (am actually qute knackered from doing ...
