Beijing, China 2011-Day trip to Xi'an/Terra-cotta army
The Terra-cotta army, one of the most awe inspiring sights in the world.
Xi'an (October 2014)
After Beijing we spent 3 days in Xi'an. The street food there was a real highlight. The night we arrived we walked around the Drum Tower and Bell Tower but you don't see them much in this video. We spent a day at the Terra Cotta Warrior Mausoleum, riding bikes along the top of the city wall, and visiting the Grand Mosque in the Muslim Quarter with our tour guide Alex.
At the end of the 2nd day there I started to feel a little sick, mostly congestion related and I'm pretty sure it was completely related to the pollution in Beijing and Xi'an both. We spent our 3rd day mostly relaxing around the hotel and we went back out for street in the Muslim Quarter for dinner. Tofu and potatoes, sounds simple enough but it was fantastic.
The Terra Cotta Warriors are one of many things we saw throughout this trip that we were told you haven't seen China unless you've seen *fill in the blank* and I somewhat agree. There aren't a whole lot of major historical sites in the Xi'an area, the Drum and Bell Towers are very underwhelming, but the warriors and the bike ride along the city wall were both amazing experiences.

Xi'An and HuaShan, China
Five days to visit China's ancient captial and one of the five important Taoist mountians in the country. Xi'An has a long history and many of the Dynasties headquarters were based in Xi'An. The city was a 12km wall that is very beautiful and imporsing at the same time. The wall was used to keep enemies away. Now, you can ride bikes on it or just walk. The city is famous for it's street food made by Hui Chinese, a muslim minority in the city. The Silk road began here so many foreigners mixed with the local Han Chinese.
Hua Mountain is a beautiful place too. It has many peaks and it is thought to have one of the scariest sections to hike. In a section we need clamps to walk the steep and narrow section. Xi'An area was a wonderful place to visit.
