The City Wall of Xi'an... impressively big! The Gate tower you can just see in the very very distacnce in the centre of the wall is actually huge, and positioned only halfway down the length of the wall. And do you like our wonderful bike?! Bits of the wall were up hill, and it was hard going on that thing I tell you! A fun way to get around the city though.
The spooky Terracotta Warriors. Lots of them. All of the heads are different - perhaps modeled after a real army. The really spooky bit is that many heads are missing though. Very surreal. Below is the Small Wild Goose Pagoda - which is actually quite big as you can see from the tiny Vicki in front of it! Not as big as the Big Wild Goose Pagoda though...
...although it is diffiuclt to tell from this photo of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, with Gary in a bamboo grove which formed part of the surrounding garden. The Big Pagoda also had the really silly fountain in which you can see me trying very hard not to get wet while eating a very large and fluffy candyfloss. They do excellent popcorn in Xi'an too.
