Xian Travel Tips
Xian travel tips courtesy of GeckoGo
  • Terracotta Warriors - it is extremely easy to get a student ticket here since the ticket sellers don't even bother looking at an ID. Just have any picture ID ready in case and say "xuesheng piao". Your ticket is now half the price. • Stephen K.
  • Bargain for Terra Cotta Warriors souvenirs at the small stalls on the streets, learn some mandarin, bring a phrasebook with you. You will get a lot cheaper if you know and understand a bit Chinese. • Queenie M.
  • Visiting the Muslim Quarter is a must for some of the tastiest food in China. • Agent M.
