西安 Xi'an

[samquan123]

chinese temple become muslim turkistan uyghur mass.

[samjr888]

I want to visit Xian before I start visiting other parts of China!

[djonutube]

the food part made me salivate

[MrJonslife]

Why do they look so unfriendly? When I go other countries and film them, like korea and japan, they will smile at me and say something nice in their language and we will have some good laughs. Here they give you that look, and they look like they can kill you anytime. Or they give that 'go away' look on their faces. same attitude when i was in shenzhen and guangzhou. Why are they like tht?

[williamilfy]

I LOVE XI'AN MY HOMETOWN. XI'AN IS UNIQUE TO THE WORLD.

[Angelhand28]

Nice video...I still need to visit xian and this gives me a first idea of how life there is.

[METUBEMETO]

西安，蓼扎咧！

[IdolCraze07]

Xian is one of the best place i see in China becos of is rich history and still many ancient wall people still stay inside the wall an douter wall and attraction to explore

[MELEGO351]

@yq3163 I am sorry I did not mean to offend. It was just that it reminded me of when I was there with my family, we did find it gross simply because we were not used to it being socially acceptable, but there is not actually any "wrong" with it. Im sure there are many things we do that Chinese think are gross or socially unacceptable to.

As for a individual phenomenon the frozen spit did not cover the whole ground, probably about 40% in some places.

No need to be snappy at me :)

[yq3163]

2006年的了 5年前了~！

[MELEGO351]

8:36 Probably the worst sound i heard in china (when people spit on the ground)

After I was in Xi'an we went to Harbin which is far north near russia and not only did people spit on the ground it was so cold it froze covering the ground! (in Harbin when we arrived it was -27 degrees Celsius!)

This is a really great video, makes me wish that we made a video of our trip aswell.

[yq3163]

@MELEGO351 You said only a very individual phenomenon. Now the quality of the people of our country has been greatly improved.

[stocholmuk]

There must be something wrong, i have entered a Mosque!

You weren't allowed to do so probably cuz it was a prayer time, its not recommend to enter while they are praying, and the most important thing: you MUST take off your shoes!

[berkati]

Yeah, there lies the fundamental difference: you're not alowed to enter!

Buddhist Temples and Churches and other religious places are open to all.

Our friends at the back just told us: the jews are also not so tolerant, like their arab brothers! sigh... How come?

[fsxmantra]

The Hui people purportedly claim to have descended from the Arabs but they looked perfectly Chinese (mongoloid) to me. Delusions turn to illusion, this happens when subjected to centuries of religious indoctrination. Reminds me of the old Woody Allen's joke ..........'my brother is a chicken' though contextually different.

[newtonsecondlaw]

chang'an

[muffinman97211]

lol at 8:25

[MysteriousBlackHole]

oh! how much i miss my hometown 西安！

[twostorms]

YUMMY I love Hui food, the hand made noodles are the best:)

[Seres1091]

Best city in China, this should be capital

[JasperSaga]

@Seres1091 xi'an used to.but not now

[Seres1091]

@JasperSaga It will always be the culture capital

[YumeYasuu]

going there in a few weeks! thanks for uploading =)

[jackofcdhs]

whoever said to that ur not allowed to enter the mosque is wrong.. u can enter the mosque, i know it cus am a muslim :) but u cant enter it with shoes on and without wudu.. that is without washing hands, feet, face, ears, nose and mouth..

[jujuchrys]

home, sweet home. U R always deep in my heart

[barrelofagun08]

I found the people friendlier in Xi'an than Beijing.

[Ecoean]

asians with their hijabs! I love my people!

[vivianwangmeng]

MY HOME , I MISS IT 

[travelwebnyc]

we need travel clips like this,that should be what utube is for,being global,let people see each other's places & culture & bridge the gap,it doesn't have to be professional(I dislike those propaganda type video),just shoot what you think is interesting,with a littleexplaination if you could,& I'm touched by your interest & efforts to understand the Chinese & their culture.I'd like to do the same but still haven't started.

[lexyzimus]

Xi'an is much more Chinese than Beijing or Shanghai ...

[robertschelly]

In 'Behind the Wall' (1986) Colin Thubron spoke to the Imam of this Mosque; who said the Cultural Revolution students were going to tear it down but that he talked them out of it.

[ericfuqiang]

因为这里他们游览的是一条回民街，里面全是回民开的小吃店，在钟­楼旁边。 其他地方回民也不太多。

[k98hk]

可憐十朝古都竟淪落至如今這種境況！

[ruanyuefang]

''you bing'' , ur Chinese pronuciationis not bad .

[nathanning1]

西安 is the root of China

[lenljg]

那位tomato,这是一种文化的交流，就因为这样才有璀璨的文­化，现代与历史交错的城市

[Turk510]

I'll be in Xi'an in March 2010. I'm sorry to hear that so little is left of the ancient city, but am anxious to visit nonetheless. The view in the video from the Bell Tower was very hazy, I'm wondering whether that was fog or air pollution?

[Zhango88]

i miss xian. xian peoples

[fensh06]

Xi'an is my hometown, Xian rocks!

[dani4wd]

i miss xian :(

[red8hk]

Good city ! Very nice !

[jiac0002]

I love XA

[cai88121]

how great and beautiful my motherland is

[tomatokaka]

西安怎么这么的穆斯林

[bobhalflife]

@tomatokaka

唐朝时从丝绸之路过来的中亚后人。

[tomatokaka]

据我所知，好像元朝时来的比较多，当时元朝征服的穆斯林地区比较­多，带来的就比较多，曾经发生过很多叛乱，在唐朝南方的波斯人和­阿拉伯人由于骚乱都消失了

[iwanagaa1919]

Thanks for the video. I hope to visit Xi'an. I would appreciate any suggestions as to where to stay, where to eat, or what to see or do. Out-of-the-ordinary suggestions are fine.

[TomozukiII]

I stayed in Holiday Inn I think and it was really nice and clean. Very big rooms with large beds for small price. I don`t remember the price but I doubt it was more than 20€ per night for a person.

[EverythingAustin]

DVD market!! Gotta go! I don't know my streets I just know its on the adjacent road from the history museum. Muslim quarter was awesome for souvenirs, get some snacks in the food section. Don't know why, but the TrustMart was an experience. Don't go there at 9 am, old ladies are fighting each other over the produce and rice. And finally, go to the fountain show at the Big Goose Pagoda :D

[lo51974]

I love China, I miss that kind of environment. Noisy but it's a sound to my ear. The food is fantastic and affordable too.

[jimmyjamesWang]

@lo51974, it depends on where you are at in China, a lot of places in rural China is actually incredibly serene and beautiful and natural.

[xxxxwolf163]

我們是大秦的子民，心中永遠流淌著大漢盛唐的血液。

[tomatokaka]

想不到竟然让穆斯林渗入到华夏文明的心脏地带，秦人早已没了那种­气魄和尚武的风气，被邪教吞噬

[sirbargearse]

Great city. Was there in April 2006 and of all the Chinese cities this was my fav!

[jeanlovechina]

i want to go home!!! i love Xi'an.

[ontheway0609]

Thanks for making this video..

[CelestialKindred]

Zion is also written as Xi'an(锡安)in Chinese，cool coincidence.

[kenteio]

Andrew, when did you go? It looks quite cold. I want to go there in October.

[pxiong9]

Hi,I have been a resident of Xian since I was born in 1985.I think October is a good time to visit this city. It's not that cold. This video may be made during the winter-from Dec. to Mar.

[cindy1whatwhatwhat]

西安市我的家乡，虽然人在美国，但是永远也忘不了生我养我的土地­。西安，我爱你！

[myzen0626]

I am living here now!

[phoenix0110]

Xi'An is the old capital.

[fulundeweier]

看来。。。留学生们 还是先学好 中国史、中国人性学、再去认识 外国友人 那样 会更好些。。。她妈的问的 都是些 "兽人语"

[castor7887]

中国女孩一见他妈的外国人就疯了，一帮外国傻比，泡中国妞太他妈­的简单了。

[fujisakisan133]

你女朋友被勾走了，所以你疯了？

冷静点，孩子......

[castor7887]

看来你又是一个！

[fujisakisan133]

我惹你了？不要以地域，肤色划分人品，不然你和你骂的人有什么区­别？再说了，有些女人目光确实短浅，但是每个人都有适合他生存的­地方，不能强求的你还是趁早放弃。（你怎么知道我是女的....­..）

[dannomates]

I was in Xi'an for 4 months and my girlfriend lives there. It's fucking ace and the people are cool and totally chilled

[Galaxynation]

This Photography is wonderful!I just live near the Bell Tower now,by the Xian people's hotel.This is my hometown.I'm friendly !Well come here!

[xdu234]

[sybsybsss]

[gazerman65]

I just got back from China. We went to Xi'an. We stayed in the Sofitel in Renmin Square.

[terry81]

i went this march...stayed at grand mercure remin sq...the place was smoggy.

[umino8383]

good~

i wanna go there and enjoy the local food

[conyke]

yeah,you did a good job. however,you had also missed some very worthy seeing places.for instance THE TANG PARADISE,Terra Cotta Warriors~~~~~~~~~if you guys visit xi'an,remember to go to these places.

[liambeiwai]

I grew up in Xi'an, my hometown.If you visit China and haven't visited Xi'an, you will miss everything

[dudu218]

gosh how i miss Xi'an!beautiful city with lots of fun and mouth watering food!visit Xi'an and u will not regret!

[lapdognolove]

it is my hometown, i miss it, especially, the food. now, i study in AU

[Hopeless03]

if they went to the bell tower and went to the back, they would've been able to see traditional houses dating back to the late Qing dynasty... oh well, they're searching for Tang Dynasty relics... Oh wow, those restaurants are the ones that my uncle manages for the Xi'an food stuff... XP feels so close to home...

[Hopeless03]

wahhh, the food is making me hungry. I wish i could go back. I grew up there too...

[hiwar0613]

I'm from xi'an ...

[EliteAlan]

I love Xi'an. :=D

[fokyoaho]

i grew up there. ive been to some places u just filmed. the food looks wonderfull. going back this summer=)

[maratman2007]

I am Studying here!! :)

[goldhat3]

nice tour

[YangMingYi]

:DDD sir you pronounce the word xian like a real chinese person :DDD you speak chinese better than me lol :DDD

[tirobadne]

"take a shower!" dude it is call "Wudu", which washing the face, hands, head, and feet before standing in front of The creator of the heavens and earth (ALLAH). read on what Islam is all about ....forget about Fox, CNN, ABC, CBC, BBC etc.

[AndrewField]

You're right. "Ritual ablutions" would have been more appropriate. Thanks for the correction.

[youtvtube]

Why does it have anything to do with foxnews or cnn? Save your time typing down all channels here (btw you missed MSNBC for cable and CBS NBC PBS for public LOL)... I can imagine you have to have a little chitchat with ben Laden before you're allowed to visit a city in China.

[tirobadne]

read what Islam teaches then comment on it. otherwise, zip$%it...

[Intranetusa]

Different branchs of Islam have variations?

There are mainstream branches and there are huge differences such as the cultish branches ie. Nation of Islam.

[ayeshter]

@tirobadne Dude......relax.

[xiaocaicai]

Good job, should hav som mor

[jcui03]
