Greg.D. Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 It's supposed to be a center for high tech (not apps) research and manufacturing; things like advanced materials, etc .... Personally I would love to tour some kind of center involved with that. Link to comment

danb Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Hello Thomas, When are you going to Xian? How long are you planning to stay there? We went there a few years ago. We went tosee the terracotta warriors. It is a fairly large complex. We also rode bicycles on the top of the wall that surrounds the city. That took about 60-90 minutes. We saw the bell tower at night. Some good photo's ops. We also visit the Muslim ( Hui) section of town. Had baozhi, jiaozhi and some buns and breads. We visited the mosque. We enjoyed ourselves. Hope you all have a good trip. Danb Link to comment
