Weekend trip to XI'AN // City tour, terracotta warriors and local food

Join us on a weekend getaway to the historic city of Xi'an! Unfortunately, we were on a short time budget when arriving in Xi’an but we tried to make the best out of it. We hope to give you some ideas what to do if you just have little time here.
Known for its ancient city walls, the Terracotta Warriors, and the famous Muslim Quarter, we tried to pack in as much as we could. We'll be exploring the rich culture and history of Xi'an, as well as trying some delicious local cuisine. Don't miss out on this opportunity to immerse yourself in one of China's most fascinating cities. Pack your bags and let's go!

Absolutely beautiful vlog! 😊You guys deserve so many more subscribers!! Wish you all the best from New Zealand 🇳🇿 Really enjoyed it and please make more of such content!!!

Hey Andy, thank you so much! We will! Currently editing our trip through Yunnan. On Monday, we will fly to Harbin :)

I think you went to these places at a good time, when lockdown in certain places were still ongoing and so domestic tourists are not many, as seen from the one at Terracotta Museum. It's hard to see sparse tourists at China's famous sites. At normal times, the crowd is crazy!

[@lucasann]

Yes, we already thought the same. If we look back through our travels last year, covid didnt impact us too much. Instead, we enjoyed beautiful sites without any crowds :)

In Xi'an the Chinese burger has two types, one which is the the one you guys eat is beef burger cause that's Muslim food , another 肉夹馍 more famous as well known as Roujiamo 肉夹馍 is pork meat.

nice vlog

It's pronounced Xi An, as two separate words, not one. The ' is there to hint this to you. All Chinese place names consist of at least two words (characters). Most of them are obvious where the characters split, but when it's not obvious, they use a ' as a marker for the split.

Nanjing’s city wall may not be as gigantic as Xi’ans but Nanjing city wall is the longest preserved ancient it’s wall

[@lucasann]

I have heard about that, but have unfortunately only been for business in Nanjing. Need to take time for that :)

The meat loaf you bought is white and soft in taste. I recommend that you buy baked one next time, which is more suitable for foreigners' tastes. The bread skin is crispy.

[@lucasann]

thanks for the hint, we need to try it next time. It was delicious though. How is it called?

Why is everyone dressed up like Eskimos indoor?

[@lucasann]

Somehow, they don't close the doors. So freezing cold everywhere inside...

no indoor heating, climate conservation
