Xi'an, China

Xi’an is one of the oldest cities in China, with more than 3,100 years of history. It is also one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China. Xi'an is the eastern terminus of the Silk Road and home to the Terracotta Army. We saw the ancient city walls, the historic center with the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower as well as the gracile Small Wild Goose Pagoda. In the evening we visited the awesome water games in front of the Great Wild Goose Pagoda which are known as the largest fountain in Asia which projects water high into the air, rising and falling in time to music. Both Pagodas are spectacular towers and well over 1,000 years old. Overall we enjoyed our stay in Xi’an and we will remember it ‚more chinese’ than Beijing.
