Two terracotta wariors outside, but inside the atmosphere of a European restaurant with warm colours and candle light. The Chinese chef has worked in a 5 star Western hotel before and can make excellent traditional Italian pizza's and tiramisu and other dishes as boeuf stroganoff and steak. We were suprised by the great coffee we got served with a small piece of brownie. After eating all the delicious Chinese food, we were looking for something familiair and that's what we certainly found in this place, called after the first book written by Marco Polo: Il Milione. Feeling at home in China for a moment...

I live in Xi'An and have learnt that the safest seat in a taxi is right behind the driver. A large percentage of taxi drivers here would be considered reckless by western standards, but most are not reckless enough to risk their own personal safety, so sitting right behind them makes you as safe as them. In other words, taxi drivers don't mind getting t-boned on the passenger door, which is where you are most likely to sit, but are reluctant to get drilled on their own door. So, sit behind them.

And, always get out of the taxi on the passenger door side.
