Mr.Samuel replied:

I think my trip there could give you some ideas. We spent the 1st day in visiting the terra cotta warriors and horses and the Huaqing Hot Spring. That's really wonderful. We leave early in the morning by taxi and return to Xi'an almost at 16:00. After a dinner in the hotel, we went to watching the Tang Dynasty Show. It was really a rush day, but all of them were breath taking.
The 2nd day we were traveling in the city area after having breakfast. Around 9:00am, we were in the Bell Tower and then walked to the city wall for a short cycling there. In the afternoon, we were taken to the Shaanxi History Museum and then the nearby Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
In fact, I think that our 2-day trip is not enough for learn Xi'an. This city has so many places to go if you are interested in Chinese history.

I and my family will be coming off a cruise ship in Shanghai. Would like to take overnight train to Xian and arrive the next morning. Would it be possible to see the Terra-cotta Warriors and any other main sites and still be able to take the evening train to Beijing. We have very limited number of vacation days before my daughter has to return to work.

Jul. 1,2009 03:46
Mr.Edward replied:

If the train from shanghai to Xian arrives early in the morning, you can take the tourist bus just at the railway station square to the terracotta warriors museum, then back to the city at noon. Time permitting ,you may have some time to visit the city wall or the bell tower which are not far from the railwat station.
