Xi'an

After a 13 hrs hard sleeper train from Beijing (I had to sleep at the top and that was quite high I can assure you!), we arrived in Xi'an. This city was once the terminus of the Silk Road and a melting pot of cultures and religions. Xi'an was first the capital city of China.

The city walls remain intact. The wall is 14 km long. We biked on it, that was very nice to do. You could see the city from different spots. After cycling we went for dinner, we had all kind of Chinese dishes, one of them were frogs (salad). I tried but this dish was so hot I did't even tasted the frog!
We've been to the Muslim Quarter and tried a kind of snacks. But we never tried the pig leg (thank god!).
We went into the Drum Tower where we had a view over the city. When we were leaving the Tower some people played on the drums. That was very nice to see and hear.

That evening we went to a fountain show. This was a little disappointing because it was to busy to stand on the right spot, so we had to go to another one where the view wasn't that good.
