Today we toured Xi'an City Wall and Muslim Quarter. The City Wall is HUGE and, even on a tandem that we hired, we didn't make it around the whole thing. The Muslim Quarter was really interesting, unlike any area we had so far visited in China. We sampled some of the delicious food there, including some tasty mutton, then made our way back to our hotel.

I love that city wall. Riding the bike there, feels like being a patrolling general on a horse in the old times.
Yes!!
The city wall was partially rebuilt, but the majority of the wall itself was built in Ming Dynasty, 14-17 century. Part of the wall was built upon the royal palace wall of Tang Dynasty. Imagine that current city wall only was the palace wall, how big Chang'an was back that time.
Their culture having lot of varieties. Never saw a Two seater bicycle. Simply amazing
haha! Tandems are so much fun! But one person ends up doing most of the work!! 😂😀😂
I found both of you are getting alike more and more, we call this as couple looks.
Haha oh I hope we don't turn into each other 😆
That's exactly what I was thinking!
Welcome to my city, Hangzhou, which is one of the most beautiful city in China.
Thank you. Will have to go on the list for our next visit! :)
你好，欢迎我嘛？我也想去
You could visit Great Tang All Day Mall in the evening, it is beautiful !
Oh interesting!
@@RobandJenny Yes, you could find it in youtube.
I also recommend YongXingFang, a new place of local traditional foods and snacks, it is also beautiful in the evening, worth visiting.
@@RobandJenny Yeah, I have been there two years ago, it's worth to go.
Rob & Jenny czcams.com/video/D3tD3_8V6yo/video.html that it is
the the 不要用中文思维说英语。你应该，你最好，都带有一些颐指气使的语气。正确的说法是“建议你”
Apart from Jenny's butter fingers with the camera I'd say this is another fine day of exploring...especially the delicious-looking food! :D
Haha thank you! The camera is still alive so all is well 😁
Riding bicycles the best thing we can do on the cheap. My experience was in Ping Yao, Shanxi province though. Xi’an been there 3 times. Lovely City. Love the food.
We really loved cycling around, such a good mode of transport!
my friends，have a good day !
why thank you! 😀
The wall is hundreds of years old. Those traditional looking buildings are new.
There's definitely renovation going on
@@genova4485 墙体没有，只有上面加了装饰。
@@partyhu ohh I see impressive it looks almost brand new
@@genova4485 陕西非常多这种古代建筑，这里还有一个1331年的村子。

i had climbed up from the bottom to the top once when i was a kid, tried to be daredevil. i lived an area about two or three hours away from xi'an city. that was a million years ago. back them, no well maintained. on the top, a lot of ancient bricks for the wall were stolen (locals called "jian", meaning "picked", not stealing). so large part of the top of the wall were dirt ground.
We live very close to the city wall! Welcome to Xi'an! Enjoy!
Thanks! Lucky! nice place to live :)
Wow, I have been to the same restaurant for lamb soup when I was on my internship in Xi'an last year
Oh thats cool! we just happened upon it! :)
Another suggestion, if you are interested in ancient Chinese history, it is recommended that you go to the Shaanxi Museum of History, do not forget, please ask a guide who knows English. Museums are free, but you usually book tickets online a week in advance, and you can spend a little money to visit them. I hope you like Xi'an and China.
到了西安，一定要记得去好好吃小吃啊。if you get to xian，you must remember to eat snacks. have a good day。😁
street food
Oh yesss
The Provincial Museum of Shaanxi is a must. One can learn a lot about Chinese history esp. the period prior to 1000 AD.
Welcome to 🇨🇳! Have a good trip 😊! Here is a recommendation, you guys could visit ChaoZhou city where is my hometown. It’s a beautiful and historical city in China, and it has the world's first open and close bridge，ancient city wall and ancient archways and so on. Welcome to my city😄
That sounds really fun! Unfortunately we have now left China! but we will have to add this to our list of things when we come back :)
Rob & Jenny It's fine😄cause China is tremendous，anyway look forward to seeing you guys back:)
China is too big and there are many interesting places worth visiting. I will give you some suggestions: If you want to see history, go to Xi'an, Beijing, and Henan for traditional civilization. If you want to see the construction of modern civilization, go to Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hangzhou. If you want to see the natural scenery, go to Huangshan, Zhangjiajie, Huashan, Jiangxi, Yunnan. If you want to experience the plateau ban, go to Xinjiang, Qinghai, and Tibet. If you want to eat delicious food, go to Wuhan, Chengdu, and Chongqing. I wish you a pleasant journey!
Thanks for the tips!!
在西安的话可以去渭南爬华山，非常棒的体验。
Thanks for the tip! I think we are too much of wimps to climb up there!
@@RobandJenny well accidents are rare. mostly because some idiots wanted to try something stupid or thought they were superman
@@ipfreak yeah we've seen some horrible videos of this. Maybe next time we are in the area we will try. 😃
@@RobandJenny I've been living Xi'an for 7 years. HuaShan mountain is very famous, but I recommend another less famous Mt. called TaiBai Mountain. On the top of Mountain is like winter time while bottom of mountain is summer time, and weather changes every 15 minutes. I will remember it forever.
是啊，華山真的非常棒！一定要去看~
If you have time in the evening, you can go to Datang sleepless City, Datang Furong Garden or Qujiangchi. The night view is also very good! Citizens from Xi'an
Thanks for the tips! will have to wait for next trip! :)
recommend it too!! Suggest you go there at night, it has amazing light exhibition in the park.
You tried 羊肉泡馍 crumbled bread in lamb soup? Lovely! There are a lot more specialties to try in Xi'an. Unfortunately, I am not in Xi'an, otherwise I'd have led you guys to 'couchsurf' some restaurants and interesting spots. But anyway, you guys experienced the core elements.
oh that would have been really good fun! Yeah the bread in the lamb soup was really good! :)
Love u guys. Really impressive video. And of course have a nice trip！
Try to visit Great Tang All Day Mall in the evening! Just in the city center and you will love it :)
I love this city so much. Love the food and riding the bike on the wall. The night view of Xi'an (especially the walking zone next to the Giant Wild Pagoda) is amazing, I don't know if you have seen. There is so much fun.
Yeah! We went the next day! So nice!
Thanks for watching! 😀
I have been studying in Xi'an for 4 years，I suggest that you go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda at night，Huashan can also go there, which is known as the most dangerous mountain in China.
Highly recomended:Hua Mountain.
thanks for the tip! Looks a bit scary for us! 🤔
@@RobandJenny But the steps and the view are awesome.I went there several years ago.
@@tttcp5546 Not now. Now it is school holiday. Hua mountain will be very crowded.
I like your way of travelling. You plan a little bit, which city to go next, famous cites in the city but you went on casual times. Relaxing and satisfying way really.
Such a great vlog! Biking is such an awesome way to see a city!
I really passed a lot. Love to see the new vedio.😁
Lovely! Thanks for watching :)
Have a great time in China
Thanks! 😃😃
I see you took my advice about visiting the city wall.
Definitely!
love u guys have a nice trip!
Huashan is very precipitous. If you are afraid of heights, you'd better not go.
haha! we are! a bit... :/
nice Video, 👍I am living in Sydney , Xi’an is my hometown, welcome to my city.
Thanks!! :)
Watch TV ep : longest day at ChangAn while stays at XiAn would bring you another experience.
If you want to see modern China, you have to go to shenzhen. If you want to see China a thousand years ago, you have to go to Beijing. If you want to see China three thousand years ago, you have to go to xi 'an.
会玩会吃，厉害👍
You shoud climb the huashan mountain, I come there
two mouth ago，that’s interesting
The Chinese could build these walled structures knowing the exact number of bricks needed before construction even commenced. I watched a documentary on the ancient Western part of the Great Wall and they miscalculated by one brick which they placed on the top of a sentry tower which is still there today
Omg how interesting!
welcome to china ,have a good day
Thank you! you have a good day too!
Xian is amazing so much cool history the wall is amazing and huge, for sure see the wild goose pagoda which is a huge area maybe 50,000 people there when i was visiting, the Muslim quarter was more like a Chinese quarter they didn't look Muslim to me walked maybe a mile toward the wall from it and sure enough i came upon a real looking Muslim market not so commercialized but it was huge. Taxi are a nightmare to get at certain locations they don't like to just be waved down its mostly by phone app which you can't get ,again an amazing City and people
I would highly recommend you visit HuaShan (aka Mount Hua).
We have heard so many good things about HuaShan but we are too much of wimps to go there, it looks too scary! :(
which city would you go next？
Got here after watching longest day in chang’an...
应该看看晚上的大唐不夜城的，很炫~
我是中国山东省人。欢迎来到中国，我的朋友。（I'm from shandong province, China China welcomes you, my friend）
只是现在来西安太热了
good you changed those sunglasses ~~ but they are still massive for the size of your head
可以考虑去下陕西历史博物馆，免费的free
By the way, you'd better climb Hua mountain during the night in case the strong sunlight.'
Good tip for others! We are too scared of the steep hill to do the climb! :)
welcome！
If talking about city wall, must compare the Nanjing city wall, they all build or rebuild by same empire, Nanjing was the capital of China at that time and u can find each stone has a name on it
Wow! That's cool! 😀
Those buildings which appeared in 4:12 were all unfinished mansions.
Ahhh yes. They looked lovely! 😀
Welcome to my hometown
yong ying fang ( 永兴坊 ) is better to find more local food than muslim street.
Good video.
Thank you for watching! :)
这俩老外把回民街最难吃的东西都吃了一遍
Xi'an is really an amazing city.
It really is! Lot's on offer! :)
HE is tall so he should sit in back seat on that bicycle . your views were blocked by him . i think xian was starting point of silk road in china and not end point
consider you guys dont have chinese bank account. 90 yuan rent a bike is expensive, there are tons of share bikes behind you , just use chinese App to scan the locker. there are many westen youtubers tell you how to use chinese APP,can save you lots of money
有时间去华山，壶口瀑布
应该建议去华山的，哈哈
Something fun to know: Xi'An also called Xi'Jing（西京）meaning west capital in Chinese; Bei'Jing（北京）meaning north capital; Nan'Jing（南京）meaning south capital; Tokyo, called Dong'Jing（东京）, meaning east capital. 京Jing means capital; 西Xi, 北Bei, 南Nan, 东Dong, means west north south east；中国 means Middle Kingdom, 中 means center, 国 means nation. Now you learned some Chinese. Obviously, Tokyo 东京 is in Japan, not in China. Japanese used to copy everything from China.
出来这么久了感觉西安的空气还是不咋好，看起来灰蒙蒙的，哎
I walked the wall, no need for bike. Use dem legs wisely.
Haha. That's true! 😀 We didn't even make it the whole way around on a bike! 😂
can any of you speak mandarin? It seems Jenny can speak a little?
Rob can speak a very little! But Jenny not really :) we try to get by, mainly to be polite!
Any ingredients that are not pre-mixed for you, can be chosen totally by you, meaning you can choose one or two ingredients out of the selection with the amount you desire, or not take them altoghether. Also the chili sauce of Xi’an is awful, because it is salty only, NOT spicy at all.
Thanks for the info and thanks for watching! :)
Just wonder, what kind of accent do they have? not exact British
haha! everyone says that we sound Australian! But we are both British, through and through :)
我相信你们会爱上中国的……祝你们顺利
业余入门级中国旅游，桂林西安，下一站估计会北京上海了
我也看不懂啊 我为什么要看呢？
No sticky tofu? Wtf?
Haha, not brave enough sorryyyy
不要去回民街，没有意思，去高新区创业咖啡街，去大雁塔玩玩
Big Wild Goose Pagoda to come!! :)
本地人表示回民街是真的坑
Why Muslims?!
jenny should do her research before she talk
?
her information given regarding the city wall doesn't bring justice to the 600 year old history that the wall has been through. do your research and appreciate the history otherwise i would have think that she is being passive aggressive. unsubscribed as this video isn't informative to me.
@@chaulam6135 aw sorry you feel that way 😔
We don't always have all the right information, but it doesn't mean we aren't enjoying ourselves. And that's what we came out to do!
Like all tourist in China, nothing special. This is not local life.
I hope Donald Trump is watching your videos to reduce his hatred against China.😁
haha! I hope Donald trump is doing anything to reduce his hatred full stop! 😀
