An early morning start had us at the Beijing airport close to 8 am to catch our 2 hour flight to Xi'an. This is where we said good bye to our Beijing tour guide, Frank, who gave us a wealth of knowledge during the 2 days. We'll miss you Frank! We are all still amazed at how beautiful the airport is - and could easily have spent more time shopping!
Xi'an is where the terra cotta warriors are, and was the capital city for most of history - so one of the most historically relevant cities in China. Because of this, we headed to the Museum - a real eye-opener to how incredibly enlightened China was even 3,000 years ago. Unfortunately - no cameras were allowed - so no pictures! 
Our next stop was the Xi'an wall. It is completely intact and measures over 17 kilometers round trip. Unfortunately, as you can see, the weather did not cooperate - so biking or rickshaw rides were out!
