48HRS IN CHINA'S BEST FOOD CITY
Rhea and Nick2025-10-1525 min

spend 48hrs in China's best food city with us -- (at least we think so!) Xi'An is an incredible place to visit, filled with so much history (the muslim quarter, the old city walls, terracotta soldiers!) but it goes underreported how CUTE AND TRENDY the city actually is!!! so of course you know we had to do a little bar hop at the end ;) hope you enjoy, sorry for the audio we were screaming the entire first half lol.

We explore the Muslim Quarter and encounter a local. We visit the Great Mosque of Xi'an, have dinner, and do a room tour. We also see the Terracotta Soldiers, have lunch, and discuss our top 3 Asian cuisines. A highlight is trying durian for the first time, and we marvel at the insane malls in Asia. We then visit Wooli Taproom and play a game of would you rather. We experience an insane lab and Rhea makes a commitment. Finally, we visit Sanpo Cocktail Bar, try baijiu for the first time, and reflect on our China experience.
