[quote=ROSANNE                 ,16904]Hi there,I just spent 6 weeks in Xi'an this summer teaching oral English....while there I got to know the city fairly well.It is not really necessary to prebook a tour there....the city sights are accessible via taxi or local bus.Xi'an has a population of about 7 million, but seems much smaller especially in terms of getting around.I am going to be in Xi'an again on Xmas for 5 days, this time my husband is accompaning me.My suggestion is to book your hotel 1st....price should be around $20 to $30 US per night, and get a map of the city.....The hotel will write down your sightseeing destination for you to give to the taxi driver, once there you can find tour guides who volunteer their services-yes, free!  If you feel in the mood to adventure out on your own - just point to your city map and chances are someone will either take you there, or point the way.Chinese who speak English, and many do, are very eager to talk to you and will be very helpful.Have a great time!Rosanne[/quote]
