    I hope you’re enjoying your tour in Xi’an. And just a friendly reminder, if you need any help, just use the google translation or talk with the young people, probably they have a good education about English and they are willing to be the translator or guide to help you about your dinings and journeys. Xi’an is famous for its noodles. Have a good time in Xi’an❤

    6:49 The toilet said:
    “Smoking in the restroom is prohibited. Violators may face fines or even criminal charges.”
    China has undergone development in two to three decades that took Europe several generations. Consequently, many habits considered uncivilized by modern standards, remnants of the pre-industrial era (such as smoking indoors, spitting, or littering in public), still persist.

      Maybe this is a little bit offensive. But in Chinese traditional culture, people consider some asking like “where r u from” or “have u eaten” as greeting. China is a big country, which has endured many wars and hunger, so asking that questions could know that what customs in your hometown and know that whether you are in hunger.
