From Chengdu, I took another overnight train to Xi'an, the capital of the Shanxi province. This is considered to be the heart of China by many. This is the place of the Terracotta warriors, the tomb of the first emperor of China. Xi'an is a walled city of over 6 million people. There are hordes of tourists here, but only a few Westerners.
