The Muslim quarter is home to one of the largest mosque in China and loads of street food. It's a perfect blend between Muslim and Chinese food and architecture. After a few snacks we decided to check out the Great Mosque of Xi'an and the Giant Wilde Goose Pagoda.
Time to head up the Xi’an City Wall and experience the city from the ancient and oldest city wall of China. The wall is 12 meters tall and covers 13.7 kilometers around the old city center.
After walking about half the wall we headed back to the hotel which took another 10 kilometers and went out in search of dinner.
Tomorrow we head out of the city centre and check out the famous Terracotta Army!
