our hotel was located in zone 2, abt 15 mins drive from e city (zone 1). took a cab there ourselves as we do not wan to bother e client. it was super cheap, oni S$3!

as Xi an was an ancient capital, there's a wall (城墙）tght wif a river, surrounding the city & they r preserved until today. to enter the city, there are 4 entrances, north, south, east & west. 文官下轿，武官下马 is e rule dat everyone has to follow when entering e palace durin ancient times.

me @ the bell tower (钟楼）~~ u can see e big bell right at the top of the tower.

this is the drum tower (鼓楼）~~ spot e difference? haha... there's a drum at the first level & its roof does not hav a bell! there's an old saying, 晨钟暮鼓 (bell in e day & drum at nite). this practise is still being carried out here today.

this is my lunch! pork chop in sizzling hot plate wif pasta, tght wif red wine, salad, bread & soup! whole set oni S$6.50! how i wish i can earn sgd & spend rmb! then i'll be rich! haha...

ok, nx stop fo shan, flying back to guangzhou tmr morning... bye Xi an~~ i've enjoyed my stay here throughly by learning & seeing so much of e china history. it's definitely a memorable experince.

Xi an, the eternal city, records the great changes of the Chinese nation just like a living history book. During Xi an's 3,100 years of development, 13 dynasties such as Western Zhou (11th century BC - 771 BC), Qin (221 BC - 206 BC), Western Han (206 BC - 24 AD) and Tang (618 - 907) placed their capitals here. So far, Xi an enjoys equal fame with Athens, Cairo, and Rome as one of the four major ancient civilization capitals.
