Perfect 2-Day Xi’an Experience
We arrived in Xi’an in the evening, checked in, and went straight to see the Big Wild Goose Pagoda — beautiful lit up at night — and finished the day with amazing biangbiang noodles for dinner. Day 1: The Terracotta Warriors were the highlight — so impressive and very well organized, even with tens of thousands of other visitors! In the evening we did some relaxed shopping in the city (the girls even got their nails done) and enjoyed the local vibe. Day 2: We started with a tasty dumpling course, then explored the Muslim Quarter and the peaceful Great Mosque, with time for street food and souvenirs. In the afternoon we took the train to Chengdu — everything went smoothly. Perfect transfers, delicious food, so much history and culture — and a good, smooth driver and perfect guide, the twin Lins, made it all easy and fun. Xi’an is absolutely worth it — highly recommend! more

Wonderful Days in Xi'an, Modern City with a long and fascinating History
Jenny from ChinaHighlights showed us, among many other sites, the TerracottaArmy, Citywall, Muslim Quarter, WildGoosePagoda and even local markets and tea houses. We enjoyed our visit to Xi'An very much. One of the Highlights was the light-ride to see the city by night. She was not only funny and charming but can solve any problem and knows her Hometown Xi'An and its history very well. more

Zwei Abenteuerinnen in Xi'an
Gemeinsam mit Jenny Yang habe ich drei Tage die wundersch?ne Stadt Xi'an erkundet und bin mit tollen Entdeckungen weitergefahren. Jenny's Wissen der historischen und aktuellen Bedeutung der Region für deren Entwicklung hat mich begeistert. Temperamentvoll und engagiert lie? sie mich auch am authentischen Leben in der Stadt teilnehmen, dadurch hatte ich wundervolle Begegnungen mit interessanten Menschen. Meine Ispiration Xi'an nochmals zu besuchen und wieder mit Jenny Yang Neues zu entdecken, habe ich mit nach Hause genommen. Mein Programm waren, Die gro?e Wildganspagode, die Terrakotta Armee, das muslimische Vietel, die Stadtmauer, die Dynastie Show und viele kleine Begegnungen haben mir bleibende Erinnerungen geschenkt, dafür herzlich Dank Barbara more
