Bell Tower of Xian, Xian, China [西安钟楼, 西安]

Xian is an interesting city but too bad, I didn't enjoy my trip.  We had some problems getting around on our own using the public transport.  We wanted to take the public bus to the terra cotta warriors pits but couldn't find the bus stop.  Everyone we asked pointed us to the tour agencies and tour buses.  In the end, out of desperation, we took one that would take us there.  But the tour bus took us to places we didn't want to go.  At the end of the day, the tour bus dropped us off at the road side bus stop with some refunds because the rest of the tourists decided to give the terra cotta warriors a miss.  ( -___- !)  When we finally reached the site, it was closing in 30 mins time!  

On the way back, we took the public bus just to see where the bus stop is.  It was on the other side of the railway station.  We have been looking for it at the wrong side.  (T_T)
