Xian is a smaller city then the others we have visited so only a couple of days here. The hostel we were staying in was a traditional Chinese courtyard house which was very beautiful but very cold as the heating wasn't so good. The main attraction in Xian is the Terracotta Army. It was amazing to see them alll staring back at you. It is almost difficult to comprehend how ancient they are.
We also visited the Big Goose Pagoda which was very serene. We climbed the pagoda for some excellent views of Xian.
One night we headed to a restaurant called the First Noodle Under the Sun where we had their special. It was a 3.6m noodle with soup. It was great and so filling. With it we also had beef which was served sizzling, I ate so much I felt a little bit sick. Another day we found the Muslim Quarter. Here we found some amazing eggy, beef crepes. Some spicy pittas, Christmas Tea, and spicy beef kebabs. The food was good!
