Drum Tower will stay in your memory but Bell Tower should be looked at from the outside. Not worth paying the entrance fee of any kind.What may be of some interest is Bell Tower Tea House where the commercialized Chinese style tea presentations are performed with immediate channeling into the gift shop naturally.

I once read a novel about Kumarajiva (a great Buddhist monk) and his life story, and know that Caotang Temple is the place where he translated the great Buddhist sutra. So I planned to visit this place. Caotang Temple is located at the foot of north Gui Peak of Hu County, Xian. It is famous for a historical celebrity Kumarajiva who translated Buddhist sutra into Chinese. The temple was said to be built in the East Jin Dynasty. The view arround the temple is also very beatiful.

I was taken here by my hosts one afternoon who know I like walking up Mountains! This was a lovely walk along and up a valley. The views of the rocks, trees, streams and Waterfalls were magnificent. Unfortunately we did not have sufficient time to walk all of it but what I saw would attract me to return.

Das Museum liegt in der nähe des Süd Tores der Stadtmauer. Es ist wie eine chinesiche Tempelanlage aufgebaut. Es gibt verschiedene Hallen die mit Steinstehen, Sarkophagen, Buddahs, und anderen historisch wertvollen Gegenstände gefüllt sind. Die Ausstelungsstücke sind Teils mehr als 2000 Jahre alt. Das Museum war zu diesem Zeitpunkt sehr leer was wohl an meiner ungehöhnlichen Reisezeit lag. Am Ende des Museumkomplexes liegt eine Halle mit antiken Steinstehen von denen man Abdrücke kaufen kann. Was ich so noch nie gesehn habe und ein autentisches Mitbringsel aus China ist. Es ist ebenfalls möglich die Techniken der Steinabdrücke live mitzuerleben. Leider konnte man die Preise für die Abdrücke nicht verhandlen was für China eher ungewöhnlilch ist. Es werden ebenfalls Bilder in vielen Variationen von lokalen Künstlern angeboten. Für Studenten hab es einen 50% Preisnachlass beim Eintritt :-). Was den Besuch sehr günstig machte da die Eintrittspreise in China eh moderat sind. Diesen Museum ist ein muss wenn an einen Aufenthalt in Xian hat da es sich durch unterschiedlichte Stielrichtungen und einzigartige Ausstellungsstücke auszeichent. Das einzig negative daran ist das so gut wie keine Beschreibungen auf Englisch und schon gar nicht auf Deutsch vorhanden sind.

我们来朱雀森林公圆是自驾游，从西安开车到户县，一共用了不到一个小时，一路高速所以交通比较方便。进山了以后空气特别好，我们从西安走的时候市区里雾霾非常严重，但是这里一点雾霾也没有，天很蓝，空气也很清新。爬了一点山，没爬太高，吸了吸新鲜空气，在天黑之前就赶回西安了。

阿姑泉位在西安市郊的秦嶺山腳，自古以來都是關中的賞牡丹勝地。
阿姑泉的牡丹圃沿斜坡而設，牡丹頗為茂密，且因是自然環境，不是人工花園，故比洛陽更有山林野趣。
粗眉仔到訪時，山腳的牡丹已敗，但上到地勢高處，氣溫相對低些，牡丹花容正茂，斜坡上一片花浪，美得令粗眉仔喘不過氣來。
牡丹圃有專人守衛，防止有人太接近牡丹，傷到嬌嫩的花兒。
建議近傍晚時參觀，因遊人不多，空氣靜謐清新，更易嗅到細細的牡丹甜香。
