Xian

On this day, early on in the morning, we flew from Dalian to Xian. Once we got to Xian, we rented bikes for an hour and went on a 14 km ride on a wall that separates the inner city and outer city. This was one of my favorite parts of the trip, along with one of my favorite cities. We learned some local dialect from out tour guide. I also learned how cheap Xian is relative to places like Beijing and Shanghai. The sunset during the bike ride was beautiful, and then we went at night to a local fountain show, which is the biggest in all of Asia. This place was called the Big Wild Goose Pagoda North Plaza. Before the show, I got my favorite meal of the entire trip. It was quite simple, and cost less than 30 yuan each (about $4). The meal included a chinese hamburger, a bowl of noodles, and deep fried sticky rice that was topped with brown sugar sauce. The reason we checked this place out was because one of our friends, Steve, knew a friend from Xian who recommended we go there.
