Stopped to visit a museum- we really needed to pass a few hours after our early morning flight 😁
Housekeeping are preparing our rooms.

So added a lunch stop - a quick stop at the shopping mall - so we could all replace our power banks. ( cheap as chips - 10,000 with cable £11 )

Today is a day of trains, planes and automobiles 😂
Ok coach, plane and boat …..

An early start - left our hotel at 04:00
Just at the boarding gate now.

Lost our “ made in China “ power bank - as didn’t pass the security check for an internal flight 🫣
You couldn’t make it up !!

Trying to keep up here - the last few days have been full on

Today we started in Xian ancient city walls, then onto the Terracotta warriors ( on my wish list for so many years 🥰) They will get a special post.
We had a ceramics, lacquer and embroidery exhibition/ talk. Very talented.
And finished with a spectacular assortment of dumplings and a Tang Dynasty dancing show.

We leave at 4am to fly to our next destination, Yichang- we will board our boat for the Yangtze River cruise at Maoping docks.
So will have some time to chill and recharge
And I will catch up with photos.

Here’s a taste for now 😁

Back to Xian to explore the walls by day. Very impressive!!

Xi’an City Wall (China)—often called the Xi’an Ancient City Wall—is one of the best‑preserved city fortifications in the world.

* Location: Xi’an, Shaanxi Province
* Built: Originally during the Ming dynasty (14th century), on earlier Tang foundations
* Length: ~13.7 km encircling the old city
* It’s the most complete surviving city wall in China.
* Features include watchtowers, corner towers, a moat, and four main gates aligned with the cardinal directions.

Ancient walls - Xian is one of the best preserved urban fortifications in China. Dates back to the Ming Dynasty in the 14th century.

They have a strong Islamic community in the Muslim quarter - with many food stalls, fabric / silks and local knick knacks for sale.

Again a lovely atmosphere- we only tasted the tea - skipping the street food - And after at least 50 years of not drinking tea, I found one I liked. Raspberry flavoured- served cold with ice 🧊

We had free time to look around - followed by dinner in a local
Restaurant. Was very tasty !!
( I’m sure you don’t want dinner pics everyday )

After a non alcoholic lunch - Of course they had to cater for the fellas needing a beer 🍻 and we then went onto a local brewery for a tasting session. The consensus was the local beer tastes better.

This was our calligraphy tutor - known as bamboo Juan - he specialises in bamboo artistry.

Here he is giving us his quick 3 minute demo - he can take a week with his paintings, such is the detail.
Fascinating to watch.

Visited an art gallery this morning - where we had a lovely lesson in calligraphy
Not as easy as it looks !!
But an education on what the letters mean and how they are interpreted.

The local art work was amazing !!
Can’t say our attempts matched - but Gerry did get two stars 🌟
