Question
Hello Victoria!  My wife & I will be travelling to Xian for 3 days in mid-July and want to see the significant sites.  We're staying at the Bell Tower Hotel, so I know that Terracotta Warriors will require some transportation.  Do you know if it's reasonable to try to take the local buses to get there or does it really require a taxi?  Also, are the other sites (Goose Pagoda, City Wall, etc.) largely within walking distance or do these require transportation as well?

Thank you so much for your help!
Dave

Answer
Hi Dave,

Thanks for your question..Ive got plenty of advice for you on this topic as I get asked it a lot and only recently helped someone with the same question....BUT, it's just turned 1am here in Beijing and so I hope you don't mind me delaying the answer until tomorrow!?

It'll be a thorough answer and well worth the wait! I promise!

Thanks!

Victoria.
