A bike ride around the city walls - 14km. I'm pretty sure I did most of the biking...
Drum tower at night with lots of kites!
Taking the cable cars to the middle of Hua Shan (华山)
Like my 10rmb hat?
The hike actually wasn't as bad as it looks. The worst part was the crowd.

If I can do this hike when I'm 60, I'll be happy. I think she's in her late 70s.
Looking at the East Peak (one of the 5 peaks). We ended up only having time to go to 3 of the 5 peaks.
Hua Qing Hot Springs Bathhouse, which keeps the water at 43 deg C all year round and has been attracting emperors and people for 2500+ years (including me)!
The sign on the right shows where peasants discovered the Terracotta soldiers in 1974 while trying a well.
Bell tower in the center of Xi'an
Our hostel was right in front of the Muslim quarter where we found lots of food stalls.
