Our tour guide Owen brought us to the Muslim Quarter in Xi’an. Of particular interest was the mosque which looks very much like a prayer garden. Owen pointed out many points of interest. He brought us to the prayer hall. We could not enter but doorways are open so that you can peer in. It is one of the oldest mosques in existence. Thanks to Owen we discovered this. Also we visited the Terra-cotta soldiers. This was a great tour. Since this is a popular site, our guide, Owen took us there when others would be leaving for lunch. A great strategy! Owen explained what was happening in each of the 4 pits. Without his excellent explanation it would have been a bunch of figures in a pit. I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you Owen! The city wall is worth the climb. Beautiful view of the city and an opportunity to get an understanding of life in the past. Our guide, Owen, did a superb job of explaining the wall structure as well as the purpose and the different gates, etc. I highly recommend going to the city wall.

We were a group of 8 - friends & families - coming from Beijing in the night train. We visited Big Goose Pagoda in the morning and Terracota Warriors in the afternoon. Perfect timing for visits and time to rest, set up by Nancy. She was a superb guide, extremely professional and providing all kinds of collateral information that is necessary for westerners (from Portugal, by the way) to understand better what we were visiting. Good lunch at a recommended restaurant and we were also left with time to make some shopping (I purchased one big terracota warrior, very nice at home now that I´m back). We were left in the railway station to catch thr night train to Shangai and Nancy stayed with us intil we boarded the train. Excellent tour, professional guide, good value for the money.
