Traveling to the Ancient City of Xi'an

I'm so excited because right now I'm traveling to the ancient

city of Xi'an with my family for our summer vacation! Xi'an is the

capital of Shaanxi Province in central China. It has such a rich

history dating back over 3,000 years to the Zhou Dynasty.

We're going by high-speed train from our home city of

Beijing. The journey is taking about 4 and a half hours. I'm loving

watching the beautiful countryside fly by through the window.

There are so many farms, villages, and forests out there. It's very

peaceful and relaxing compared to the busy streets of Beijing.

As we're getting closer to Xi'an, I can see the landscape is

becoming more mountainous and dry. Shaanxi is located on the

edge of the Loess Plateau so there are lots of yellowish plateau

lands and hills all around. I've read that Xi'an used to be the

imperial capital for 13 dynasties including the Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui

and Tang. So many important events in Chinese history

happened right here!

Finally, we've arrived at Xi'an North Railway Station. It's

absolutely massive, with a traditional architectural style blending

grey brick, glazed tiles, and upward curving roofs. We're getting

our luggage and heading outside to meet our guide for the week,

Mr. Wang. He seems very friendly and knowledgeable about

Xi'an's long history and all the top sites to visit.

Our first stop is checking into our hotel near the Bell Tower

right in the heart of downtown Xi'an. We're staying at a lovely

courtyard-style hotel that recreates the architecture of the Ming

and Qing dynasties. Our room has wooden latticed windows,

decorated brick carvings, and even a little private garden area. So

pretty and traditional!

After getting settled, we're heading straight to the Drum

Tower Square area to experience the Muslim Quarter. This

neighborhood has been home to the Hui ethnic minority

community since the Tang Dynasty over 1,000 years ago. I'm

immediately struck by the sights, sounds and smells. The narrow

streets are lined with shops, stalls, and vendors selling absolutely

everything you can imagine.

There are mouthwatering aromas coming from the many

halal food stalls and restaurants - things like beef and lamb

skewers, flaky pastries, and bread just pulled from clay ovens.
