The train was completely full and 1 hour late.
I took the opportunity to buy my train ticket to go to Chengdu.
I couldn't get ticket that I wanted because there was only standing tickets available.
16 hours standing is not so cool.
I got a hard seat ticket for Tuesday 1st October in the afternoon (Xi-an 13h05 => Chengdu 04h56).
This time I found my youth hostel easily.
I just asked to two Italian guys in the street.
My youth hostel is very nice and clean.
Saturday, I walked in Xi'an's streets (Bell tower, Drum tower and Muslim quarter).
I met a Spanish guy and sunday we went to see the Terracotta Warriors and Horses.
Sunday evening, I went to eat Xi'an's Noodle with 3 people who are in the same dorm than me (1 Brazilian boy, 1 Finnish boy and 1 Switzerland girl).
Yesterday, I went to Huashan mount. One of the five sacred mountains in China.
I climbed for 9 hours (2000m of elevation). It was almost only stairs.

Xian is the place. For me if you have just stayed in Beijing and visited the Great Walll you have been tricked. My, opinion of course.
