The seventh day of my journey around China, where I travel from Shanghai, to Chongqing, Chengdu, Xi'an and Beijing. l arrive in Xi'an and head straight to one of the city's most iconic images, the Bell Tower. In 39C heat, I explore some of Xi'an's quieter side streets, and then go on to discover the thriving Muslim Quarter, tasting the local unique street food. After dark, I walk on top of Xi'an's Ancient City Wall, seeing spectacular views of the city by night.

For all friends who wanna visit Xi'an after watching Jason's video, if you wanna explore the muslim food street, don't eat ANYTHING on the main street. It's too commercial right now because it's one of the hottest tourist attraction in Xi'an. Go to alleys surround the main street, like Jason did in the video, the food would be much more authentic.

The city wall looks amazing in the eve. It's like ancient Chinese style inside the wall but there are still many modern buildings outside the wall. What a city.

in fact, that is the plan of local gov. they moved the provencial gov. out of the city and encourage factories or non-cultural or commercial related organizations also move out. if u look closely in the Xidajie, the West Street, all the ancient style building are pretty new. because the gov. want the new buildings have an ancient style

你应该在西安城墙上骑车,非常美妙的体验. 现代与古代相交融的时空交叉感! PS:车子的押金确实让人比较蛋疼,尤其是在买门票前,没有任何提示0.0 冬天别去西安,太冷了,骑车时,手都冻僵了!!秋天可能会好一点

Xi'an is VERY VERY old. The city has more than 3.000 years of history and was the final destination (or initial depending where you started) on the ancient Silk Road (from Europe to China). Much of China's history and its soul pass through this city.......

Beautifully filmed - watched the video on Shanghai too... lovely shots and I like your positive take. Regrading the variable prices , a Chinese friend also told me of that . She said it'd due to the liberalising that allowed the Chinese to move all over China so the newly arrived non-locals try to make more money by setting rip off prices. Travellers should be aware of that and it'd be good if everyone complains so we needn't worry about sharks in China.

if you go to xi'an, you can go to Shaanxi History Museum, where you can see things people used thousands years ago, some of them is really delicately designed, the workmanship is really exquisite, you will have an idea that those were not made by ancient Chinese people.

Hi guys. I have an interview for a teaching job in China. I'm Muslim and one of my biggest concerns is will I find many halal places for food. Not just restaurants, but grocery stores or butchers where I can get halal meat and poultry. I'm also asking thus question related to most cities in China but the schools I'm mainly looking to work in are in Beijing or xian.

@JasonBillamTravel
@JasonBillamTravel 7 жыл бұрын
I was referring to it as 'kuai' which is the term used by people in China. Yuan or Renminbi (RMB) is the English for the currency, but you won't find many people calling it that over there, apart from tourists maybe.

Muslim culture is part of Xi'an. But Xi'an is the birthplace of the Chinese Han people. Tang Dynasty is the most powerful Dynasty in China.,and Xi'an retained the culture of Tang Dynasty. If you want to see that, please take the subway to the “ Big Wild Goose Pagoda”(Dayanta), and then walk south all the way to Qu-jiang south lake(nan-hu),On the way, we will pass the "Furong Garden of the Great Tang Dynasty", which is a must-go scenic spot, able to experience the architecture, art and culture of the Tang Dynasty., The scenery along the way is the Tang culture of China. This link shows the scenery here.@

As a local nice video man! To all foreigners who look foward to visit Xian, avoid use an taxi. Use Didi(Chinese Uber). Also I would say the Muslim street is kind of a scam.(average/low quaitly&high price food and stuff). In Xian the best thing to do in my opinion is just ride a bike and go where ever you like. You won't be lost even you never come here. (If you ever see Xian map you know what I mean) 西安出租车 干 不会说陕西话还是用滴滴吧
