Roger you do know that the earth is somewhat round don't you? Eventually you will be climbing the same mountain.

IllinoisDave Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I can't decide between Xi'an and the terra cotta warriors and Lijiang and the scenery,Tiger Leaping Gorge etc. Oh, I'd like to go in 2009. Link to comment
ed and ying Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I can't decide between Xi'an and the terra cotta warriors and Lijiang and the scenery,Tiger Leaping Gorge etc. Oh, I'd like to go in 2009. If at all possible try to go to Xi'an. I have been there twice, the first on business, our potential customer stopped our meeting mid afternoon to take us to the warriors. We had to work late into the night , but it was worth it. The second visit was for pleasure. In addition to the warriors , there is good museum and other sights. It is easy to get to Xi'an from Beijing by air or rail. On the last visit we stayed at the Bell Tower hotel, right across the street from the Bell Tower and near some great restaurants, and just a short walk from the Muslim Quarter Link to comment

Given your extensive travel history, if you say Xi'an is the place to go, that's good enough for me. It's funny too that last night I just got around to watching a Nat'l Geo. channel piece on Qin. It really piqued my interest in the warriors again. So Xi'an it is. And that's my final answer. Link to comment
