After a long, long (7 hour!!) wait in the Shanghai Pudong International Airport, we flew to Xi'an, China. Xi'an, formerly Chang'an, has a population of just over 8 million. It was the capital of China for thousands of years, until it was moved during the Ming dynasty to Beijing.
Our local guide, Rocky, gave us a tour of the Hanyang Tomb Museum, where we saw fantastic excavations of an emporer's tomb. After a delicious dinner of dumplings, we crawled into bed, exhausted after our long day of travel.
Today we will see the Terracotta Warriors, the Big Goose Pagoda, and the Banpo Neolithic Village. Unfortunately, there is no Internet service in the hotel, so I'm updating from the Golden Ant Internet cafe around the corner from our hotel. I hope to figure out how to upload a few pictures from our final night in Shanghai and our first days in Xi'an, so stay tuned!
