A Day in Xi’an 🇨🇳
Spending a day in Xi’an?
There are PLENTY of things you can do and delicious local food you can try.
The Drum tower is a must for you to see (especially at night)! If you want you can go inside, but I’m not sure how much it is.
The City Wall (45¥) is beautiful and great to walk on/bike on to enjoy nice views of the city. If you’d like to rent a bike, it costs 45¥ + 100¥ deposit for 3 hours.
As for local food, you must try the Biang Biang noodles (hand pulled noodles seasoned with chili, garlic, and Sichuan pepper)
Have a great day!

The Zhenbei Terrace
North of Yulin city, Shaanxi province is a historical masterpiece well worth visiting.
Located on the summit of the Red Mountain, Zhenbeitai Terrace is the historical testimony of the favorable peripheral environment between Mongolian people and Han people during the Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644). Zhenbei Terrace is just what the name implies: holding the north in awe. It is the largest watch tower of the Ming Great Wall, from which you can see the beacon fires and the partly hidden and partly visible earthen ruins of the Wall.

Xian is a must. A great city full of rich history. The food, although carb central is delicious . The people are so friendly and helpful. The terracotta warriors was mind blowing, I definitely recommend. The showering place of the empire was cool and worth a visit. A nice, but long cycle around the city wall is a must too. Feeling hotel was lush #xian #shaanxi #china
