Xian - city of treasure

This is a really great place to visit, starting with the surprise of a proper  quality hotel for once - although I have to say the general standard of the hotels is much higher than ten years ago when  I was last here - although many still seem to function as brothels as well - the oldest profession still thrives it seems😒

The main highlight is of course the Terracotta Army, which is really fantastic but this city is full of ancient treasures reflecting its long and important past  - a few snaps attached from the really good city museum. The food is also wonderful, with a rich mix of Chinese and Middle East traditions - all spiced up with plenty of chillies of course - if you do not like your grub hot, hot hot then stay away!
