We flew from Beijing to Xi'An yesterday and settled into the Sheraton - another 5* hotel. Today we walked to the walls which surround the old city. At the top you can hire bikes and cycle around the whole 13km walls. JD was keen, despite his still healing leg, so off we went!

After completing the trip, and a welcome ice-cream we headed for the Big Goose Pagoda which Jiajia had always wanted to visit.
It took half an hour by taxi to reach it. JD was flagging a bit by then after all the cycling, and I'd seen the Pagoda before, so Jiajia explored it by herself and enjoyed the Buddhist museum displays.
Then we headed back to our hotel for a rest followed by a relaxing swim in the hotel pool.
