China, Xi'an - Part 1

The Terra Cotta Warriors, as you must know, are just outside Xi'an.
We spent a week end in Xi'an. It is a nice town with its ancient city wall and a small Muslim community present today. Here are some photos.

Here is the bell tower. (All old city in China have a bell tower and a drum tower. I'll explain why later)

The drum tower.

A food delivery driving by us in the market.

A nice partly covered market.



The old and the new: the buses in the busy street with the bell tower in the background.
