I loved Xian - the Terracotta Warriors are less of an attraction than the street food you can buy everywhere, but especially in the Muslim Quarter.

| Big Goose Pagoda |
 |
| Big Goose Pagoda is located behind a massive 100m-long musical fountain. |
 |
| The rank-and-file finest of Chinese chivalry. |
 |
| Quite an army |
 |
| One guy with a hole in his hat. |
 |
| The muslim district heaves with merrygoers. |
 |
| This seems dangerous... |
 |
| This food tasted amazing, and it cost me 8 Yuan. About $1. Ooh ooh, and those Ice Peak drinks are pretty tasty too. |
 |
| Steam rises from a dozen cookpots, as it has for millennia. |
 |
| I took a walk around the restored Xian city wall - 16km. |
 |
| Global warming in beautiful progress... |
 |
| The musical fountain again. |
 |
| I can tell from the shape of the water - they're playing Wagner. (About half the songs were Wagner, so it's a safe guess) |
