I have been to several cities in China, but never been to rural China. Time to change that. My friends and I decided to leave the city center of Xi'an, China and go explore. Without a big plan in mind, we just took the metro to the last station and then a taxi into the mountains. So, what's rural China going to be like? People told me I might not have a good time in countryside China as people might be rude, won't speak any English and it might even be dangerous there for foreigners. I want to see it with my own eyes and find out the truth about rural China. Join us!
