Xi'an, Last Stop of This Trip

After an amazing week in Tashkurgan, I went back to Kashgar. I did nothing, but walked around Kashgar. 10 days just passed, I felt it was almost the time to get back, since I had left home for more than 40 days.

I found if I chose went back by train, I would spend 3 more days on the train, which was not acceptable to someone missing home and parents.  Somehow I used the money I had and got an air ticket from Xinjiang to Xi'an. Same story happened again, I just fell in love with a new city, AGAIN. This time was Xi'an.

Xi'an is the capital city of Shan Xi province, one of the oldest cities in China. It had over 3,000 years history, used to be called Chang'an, and was the capital city of Qin Dynasty, Han, Tang and etc.


As for Qin Dynasty historic sites, you might visit Qin Shihuang tomb to see his Terracotta Worriers. For Han, you could go to Hanyang Tomb Museum. If you favors in Tang Dynasty, you must visit Giant Wild Goose Pagoda.

One thing that I like Xi'an most was its multicultural. Here, you could feel modern civilization and history at the same time. You could enjoy Terracotta Army, (210 BC) and post-modern skyscrapers at the same time.

It's amazing, isn't it?
