Xian:
Xian has a tremendous historical heritage dating back more than 3000 years. It was once the ancient capital to 13 dynasties and the hub of Silk Road trading. History lover or not, you will appreciate the ancient beauty this city radiates. From pagodas, temples and museums to the wondrous Terracotta Warrior Army, there are many awe-inspiring relics and ruins left behind for you to explore and learn about.
Xian is a city than never feels too big and has a perfect mix of old and new. An hours drive away you can go trekking in Huashan mountains or simply relax at one of the hot springs. The natural beauty of this country is breathtaking.
As far as food goes, Xianese cuisine is incredibly varied and some of the best in the whole of China. Eating is a massive part of Chinese culture and you will have the opportunity to understand their customs and traditions. It is a spectacular learning curve and a journey into a different world. Many new challenges, flavours and delights await you!
As I said earlier, Xian is a mix of old and new. Everything can be paid for using your phone here. WeChat and Alipay are the main apps to use. Even an old man on the street, selling honey comb from his dusty bicycle will accept Alipay on his smart phone.
Xian has a marvellous transport system that is incredibly cheap and convenient. A lot of foreigners have their own e-bikes, scooters or motorbikes. Hop on the back of a scooter taxi for a real ride!
There is an increasingly popular international scene and social network in Xian. The Xianese magazine has a monthly edition which can be found in most cafes and bars. It lists everything you can do in the city with names and addresses of where to eat, where to party, where to go to get your hair cut, teeth done, info on international schools for your kids and where to find salsa and yoga classes and much more. There's plenty of cool bars, restaurants and clubs to wet your apetite. The nightlife here is awesome, check it out!
