Chongqing - Xian - Tour Day 7

Today we disembarked at Chongqing after breakfast and first went to ChinaTown in China. This was very impressive and beautiful. Here I bought a lovely peacock embroidery as well as the local handicraft painted on the banyan tree leaf.



We then went to the Chingqing Three Gorges Museum. The museum was established in 2000  and has 180,000 pieces of cultural relics. Here we also had our first introduction to the terracotta warriors. Here they had some warriors only about a meter high unfortunately it was all in Chinese so didn't get the gist of where they came from




After a amazing schezwan lunch located around the flower market we transferred to the airport for our flight to Xian where we will stay for two nights at the Days Hotel & Suites. Our flight was delayed a bit which was annoying.




Arriving in Xian on the way to the hotel we were amazed at the number of under construction apartments and empty apartments. They have 8 million people here but we reckon accommodation for 20 million.

Our hotel rooms are huge, king beds, walk in robes and massive bath rooms with double size shower and massive bath,
