A Day in Xi’an 🇨🇳

Spending a day in Xi’an? There are PLENTY of things you can do and delicious local food you can try. The Drum tower is a must for you to see (especially at night)! If you want you can go inside, but I’m not sure how much it is. The City Wall (45¥) is beautiful and great to walk on/bike on to enjoy nice views of the city. If you’d like to rent a bike, it costs 45¥ + 100¥ deposit for 3 hours. As for local food, you must try the Biang Biang noodles (hand pulled noodles seasoned with chili, garlic, and Sichuan pepper) Have a great day! #urbanexplorer #foodieheaven #trip #goodfoods #xi'an #china #shaanxi #chinatravel

Xian is a must. A great city full of rich history. The food, although carb central is delicious . The people are so friendly and helpful. The terracotta warriors was mind blowing, I definitely recommend. The showering place of the empire was cool and worth a visit. A nice, but long cycle around the city wall is a must too. Feeling hotel was lush #xian #shaanxi #china
