Welcome to Xi'an, We took the night train from Beijing and arrived in Xi'an (pronunced Shee'ann) 11hours later. I could easily live here it is the best place I've been so far.

We arrived on Phi Phi and swiftly put our plan into action of finding accommodation, step 1...steal a map as nobody would let you have one as they like to find you rooms for a nice commission! We found a nice place, then marched up to a few of the viewpoints (look at the pics). There were also pictures up there of the beaches 6days after the Tsunami, totally flat!
