After having seen the place most people will mention when you travel to China we refocused ourselves of what else Xi'an had to offer. There was the might Hua Shan mountain but it was out of our price range so we settled for our next stop Li Mountain. Less grand and picturesque but a great mountain nonetheless. We made the cold climb to the top after we were dropped of by cable car of course, and found out that we weren't so cold anymore after a couple thousand steps. There was a temple on the mountain that strangely spoke of a goddess who made men out of dirt and instituted marriage. Sounds familiar. hmm.

The rest of out time in Xi'an was spent looking at the free things/nearly free things it had to offer including a mosque which looked nothing like what you'd expect, but rather more like a Buddhist temple. We walked around in the Muslim quarter and ate great food. And we eyed up the many knick-knacks for sale and walked past giving them a thousand "no, thank you's" and "bu yao" (I don't want). A pagoda topped it off and we were ready for the exciting phase of our journey.
