Xi'an or Guilin / Yangshuo - which to visit

I%26#39;m trying to decide between visiting Xi%26#39;an or Guilin / Yangshuo for three or four days in March.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this decision?

Xi'an or Guilin / Yangshuo - which to visit

Guilin/Yangshuo have really stunning scenery and I think you can easily fill 4 days there.

Xi%26#39;an is not such an attractive place, but the Terracotta Warriors are good to see. It is less obvious what you would do there for 3-4 days, but there is a good museum, the Muslim quarter is worth a visit, as is the old city wall. If you are adventurous, you can also climb the nearby Buddhist sacred mountain, Hua Shan.

These are very different trips.

Xi'an or Guilin / Yangshuo - which to visit

What is the best way to get from Yangshuo to Hong Kong?

A three day itinerary for Xian could be:

Day 1 Arrive, hotel orientation

Evening at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square. The square is composed of waterscape fountains and restaurants. Musical water fountain show (free) commences around 8pm. Don%26#39;t miss this.

Day 2 Terracotta Army tour. Also drop by Banpo Neolithic museum and Huaqing hot Springs (ancient spring resort)

Evening Tang Paradise

Day 3 Start at the South Gate and walk to Shuyuanmen Culture street to The Stone of Stele Museum. After this go to the Xian City wall and moat. Rickshaw, bike or walk on the wall. Taxi to the Drum and Bell Tower square. Walk to the Great Mosque via the souks. If you still have time, you can go to the The Provincial Museum. In the evening you can go to a Tang Dynasty Dance Opera theatre show.

HK to Yangshuo. You can take a train or fly to Guilin.

Scenery - Guilin/Yangshuo

History-culture - Xian

Depends on which you want.

Yup, would depend on your own sightseeing interests.

Yangshuo to Hong Kong: depending on your budget, flight/bus+flight/bus+train/etc.

I sent an email to your yahoo account the other day. In short, I was wondering whether we needed to book our in-country flights before arriving in China. My guidebook (Frommers) say to wait until arriving in China to book flights.

Sorry, I%26#39;m trying to catch up with email backlog and etc after coming back early from Chinese New Year holiday. Will reply to you ASAP!

xi%26#39;an is a nice place and it necessary fro every foreign friend to visit

you will find the origin of chinese culture%26amp;history

i wish to help everyone who like xi%26#39;an
