xi'an 西安

Day 1 (5/6) Drum Tower; Muslim Quarter
We arrived in xi'an super late so didn't get to do much the first day. When we got off the plane, we squeezed 5 people into one crazy taxi. We literally screamed every five minutes as the driver made the scariest turns. Once we dropped off our stuff in our hostel, we ventured out for food. We headed to the muslim quarter. The place was extremely dirty. There was trash all over the ground, but we also found out that we arrived too late, which explained the dirtyness.


Day 2 (5/7) Xi'an City Wall; Muslim Quarter
We started the day off with some fatty 肉夹馍. They're like hamburgers, but greasier and with no veggies. yum. With all the unhealthy calories in our systems, we biked on the city wall of xi'an. The ride was extremely bumpy and fun! We got to enjoy a nice view of the city. We then headed to the muslim quarter again. Hahaha. This time it was much much cleaner. The place is probably a lamb-lover's heaven. There were a ton of skewers and lamb noodles. I opted for everything that was not lamb (not a fan of the rank odor). The persimmon cakes, chives&egg pancakes, and prune juice were my favies.


Day 3 (5/7) Terracotta Army; Muslim Quarter; Club 1+1
so amazing! We saw the first intact soldier and the farmer who discovered the tomb! Each of the soldiers were unique.
Our tour guide (the lady in the first photo) was obsessed with Jack. She was cute and funny ahhaa
For dinner, we went to the muslim quarter again; cheap & satisfying
At night we went to club 1+1. I saw the wildest Chinese locals ever. They were interestingly extremely different from partying locals in Shanghai. They definitely looked like they were having a lot more fun ahah
