Xi'an- The drive into the city proved that Xi'an was indeed the longest standing capital city of Imperial China, as countless burial mounds of emperors rose up out of the surrounding fields along the highway. Xi'an still retains its city wall from roughly 600 AD, and I enjoyed biking along the top of the wall around the entire old city for a few hours this afternoon. I'm very excited to see the terra-cotta army tomorrow!
