We start our journey to Xi’an by overnight train Z19. It’s a sleeper train….we booked two soft sleeper ticket…this train has three class…First class with two bed and own toilet … Second class( Soft Sleeper ) with four bed…Third Class( Hard Sleeper) with six bed cabin.
We arrived in Xian around at 8:30am and we spot our driver at arrival hall…start our journey to Terracotta Warriors…you can take public bus..which daily departure from station to terracotta warriors…it is the cheapest option….But we are not staying at Xi’an…so we hire a car for whole day to visit places as many as possible… I will suggest to stay one night in xian..in that way you can visit all palaces of interest….
After 1 hour drive we reached Terracotta warriors…
Entry cost: 150 yuan per person
Terracotta Warrior complex is combined with three Pits and one museum. In front of the entry gate they have shop selling history books signing by a farmer who is involve in finding this site…they also sell authentic warrior statue…please bargain…They ask a medium size general statue 200 yuan..i bought it for 150 yuan..do not buy any other thing from here…when you exiting..you will find lot of shops selling same things in cheaper price…you need to bargain… 😀
We enter the complex with huge crowd….in the first pit we push throw the crowd to take some pictures….every day nearly 1 million visitor visit this place…. :O You can take picture with the warriors in a photo booth in pit2…it will cost you 10 yuan pp..if you take picture by your own camera…. 😀
We found that, there are lack of direction and information in the complex…i think in that way they promote people to take a guide … 
Guide will cost you 150 yuan. we do not take any we visit our own. we spend 2 hour in the complex…..
Then we start our journey toward city wall…we do not enter that wall…just took some pictures and headed to Xian great mosque to pray our Friday prayer…
Xian great mosque is established in 740 AD…The structure of the mosque is incredible… we are so blessed to have our Friday prayer here 😀
After prayer we headed to Muslim street to eat our lunch..we eat lot of lamb skewer… 😀 there are lots of restaurants and vendors selling halal food in this street…This street is near by the masjid…
After visiting and eating we start walk to drum and bell tower of xian..its a large complex with nicely decorated garden and it is the city center of Xi’an. We enter only bell tower to get the city center view….
Bell tower entry cost: 35 yuan per person
After visiting Bell tower we headed toward Xian railway station to catch our overnight train to Beijing… Xi’an railway station is old and you hardly find any English sign there..after entering the station we headed toward information desk..the lady in the information desk can speck little bit English..so we just show her our ticket..then she directed us to reach our waiting room…after little hassle we find the waiting room… 😀
