China - First Overnight Train ride

For my first overnight train ride I decided to give to China, of all places. I don't think I was in my correct mind. Me and Teng decide to take the chance. There was definitely a huge load of fear building inside me as the day got closes. I fear sharing with stranger worst a men, fear of fighting through the million of people, fear of the dirty toilet. but!!!!!!



A very confusing information board 


It is like a market place.

A VIP waiting area... Not bad

Still a old style station 

A very modern train, deep inside I was hoping for steam run train

Totally backpack style 




4 bed room...


My roommate for the night 

This is why I wanted to take the overnight train 

Another Sunrise in the photo bucket.


China Xian - The Face and The Food

It is not that hard to find human element in China. It is almost impossible to not get someone walking passed my lens each time I press the shutter...


A picture perfect for a typical Chinese family 









China Xian - 西安城墙 Xian City Wall

It is a must to go up the wall no matter what other say.... the view of the city will be so worth it. No worry about walking a buggy is available, with a very high cost (RMB10 per gate). If you want to be romantic you can rent a bicycle....There is about 4 gate you can stop, each about few hundred KM (Sam Tham measurement) apart....


A beautiful structure on top of the wall 

The distance between each gate is no joke...Don't be shy to take the buggy 

Luv the way the old and the new structure blend in so well together


A view that take my breath away

See the moon (thank to Teng pointing it out to me)



The light again.....

China Xian - Muslim Quarter

A different culture and a different feel of ambient....The Muslim Quarter  is a street full of vibrant sight, taste and smell...


A very Chinese architecture built as Mosque


The Mosque made of  all wood... 
I think is the Winter light that make beautiful ambient in the market place 










China Xian - Terracotta Army

I see it in TV and Mag like a thousand time... so it is a bit out of this world to see the real thing... but when it come to photo what was surrounding it fascinated me more ...

The real thing except I cant touch it


The actual face




The environment outside was more captivating 

It was a beautiful path that caught my eye on my way into the Qin Shi Huang Tomb
