Xi'an Museum

Reviewed By Alistair450 - Auckland Central, New Zealand

This museum is well worth a visit as it has very good displays of historical items that help you learn about and understand China's past. It is not easy to spend more than two hours in one go in a museum and a second visit would be rewarding. It would be worth your while to hire a guide to take you through the museum.

Reviewed By 928fayel - Gold Coast, Australia

We actually went inside this museum and a teacher taught us how to write our name using Calligraphy - it was quite amusing, on finishing she announced that we can all have our name done by a master and it was for free. So we all lined up - as ours was not the best writing you would frame - but his was.

Note the picture above. The carvings are all different. Many photographers were taking Macro shots of the art work. I found this part of the tour interesting, but then that's me I travel with a camera attached to my right arm.
