Xi'an


After enjoying our warm weather in Guilin and Yangshuo we traveled north to the very cold city of Xi'an! But although it was freezing, we still had an amazing time! our tour guide was named Henry (our favorite guide in China!), and he took us to visit the site of the Terracotta warriors (if you dont know the history behind it, you should look it up, it's really interesting), he also took us to a couple local museums where we learned about the history of China, and at night he took us to this amazing water/light show...it defininetly beats the billagio's (sp) light show in vegas!!! We were then able to walk along the ancient wall as our tour guide told us numerous stories of battle's that took place at the wall! after enjoying our time in Xi'an it was time for us to board our sleeper train and make our way up to Beijing for our last week in China.
