[quote=APAULT,236978]I am not convinced about the value of having guides at the the tourist spots.. I have listened to other people's and feel they spew out millions of facts that you will never remember. At the Terracotta Warriors, from Xi'an take bus 306, 65 minutes, when you get off, walk towards a very large Tcotta Warrior in the car park area...a bit to the right of where the busess stop andd keep going to the entrance...there are no signs - do NOT go straight ahead to the left from the bus...it is a LONG walk to the exit and you have to come back again. When you enter the first gates u are only in the park... choose any path to get to the main entrance. I recommend that you fo to the 'cinema first' so that you can watch the film about the history. There is a superb new hostel by the South gate in Xi'an. There is one hostel just a hundred metres from the gate and this new one a further 100 metres (the back door). Cost 40 RMB. The Seven Sages hostel near the north gate is at least 1km away from gate, not the 500m they claim (and twice, well apart you see signs saying 200m!!).[/quote]
