I arrived in Xi’an three days ago via a train from Beijing. Yes I know, this is called cheating, but China is a massive country and I do not have all the time in the world you know? Hopping aboard was no problem at all. The ticket cost about 150 RMB and the conductor allowed me to place the bike aboard the train with no hassle really, just a breakdown of the major parts – wheels and panniers. I arrived in Xi’an twelve hours later.
I have been staying with a buddy for the past few days visiting the Terracotta Warriors just east of Xi’an about 45 KM. They are a must see! Really beautiful and truly ancient, the 8th wonder of the world. I will now be embarking on the second half of my journey. I should arrive in Chengdu in about 10 days. I will be cycling highway 108 from Xi’an. Until Chengdu!
