Xian City Wall




Yesterday we biked, rickshaw-ed, or walked the city wall of Xian. Xian is much more peaceful than Beijing, although it too has grown so fast! Last we were here was 10 years ago and so much has changed, but the feeling of quiet is still here - and so is the pollution! The Wall is fabulous and the ability to walk around and experience so many views of the city is wonderful.


Ling to MPA: Did you know that Xian used to be the capital of China, but then the emporer came and decided to move the capital to Beijing. Now, Xian is the heart of China. Today we'll see the Warriors from the Qing Dynasty.

  1. Wow! Seems like I just checked this yesterday and you've done so many cool things since then! I'm sure you will never forget The Great Wall of China! Can't wait to see a picture of the Qing Dynasty warrior. Miss you all!
    Love, Gretchen

  2. Hi Everyone,
    Your journey looks amazing and we are having fun following it. We miss YuLing and the kids ask daily when she will be coming back. We are off for a long weekend now and look forward to seeing you all soon! Wishing you a great last leg of your trip and a safe journey home!
