上海之旅 part 3

三天两夜, 西安古城之游

21st Mar, we woke up at 5.30am to prepare for 7.40am domestic flight on MU to XiAn.
Virgin experience of walking up a plane at the take off area instead of walking the "bridge".
*strong cold wind*

Stayed at City Hotel conveniently located at 南大街.
Explored 书院街, 西安古城, 钟楼, 鼓楼 & Muslim street on our own at our own pace.
　All sites are lovely though Islamic food are not really to my liking.
Their traditional food 泡馍 (pau mo) is just bread crumbs soak in soup. *taste weird*
And prevented a silly incident from occurring.

Day 2, we signed up for a 1 day tour to visit 华清 Hot spring, 兵马俑 Terracotta Warriors & Horses & The Mausoleum of 秦始皇 since they are all located at outskirt in Shannxi.

The story about 秦始皇 really overwhelmed me.
How he united China, built Great Wall, built his own underground palace tomb were so impressive.
兵马俑有多壮光真的要亲眼目睹才能体会.
Thank god we had an excellent tour guide 小李 whom enriched this trip.

Day 3, before returning back to Shanghai we explored Shannxi Historical Museum

i like the rich historical feeling of 西安, like the sincere & friendly people that we met at 西安, like the arty works done by the artists in 西安 & the very updated 西安电视台 that we watched nightly.
i'm glad i go ahead with jt & miss reporter's insistence on visiting 西安 - a place i've seldom heard of before this trip.
If not i wouldn't even know what i've missed out.
