Arrived at Xi'an

Xi'an is an ancient city with a history as old as China itself. The first emperors first lived here. In the heart of Xi'an are the ancient city walls.

I saw lots of cars, wide roads, McDonald's and Starbucks it's a city moving towards modernization and embracing the western culture. We had our first chinese meal and check in the hotel.
We snuck out and walked around the city. It has dark roads only lighted by small shops that line the streets. Walking on the sidewalk is abit creepy. But people were going about their own business. We kept walking around the block until we reached a park.
It was the park near the Wild Goose Pagoda.
Later on we heard that we missed an hour light show that goes on at 8pm.
