We start the day in Beijing with a visit to the Temple of Heaven. The Temple of Heaven complex was visited by the Emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties for annual ceremonies of prayer to Heaven for a good harvest and it was a great place to spend an hour looking around early in the morning.
We then catch the Beijing Subway back to our hotel the Renaissance Beijing Wangfujing Hotel pack our things, check out and then get the Subway again the Beijing West Train Station.
At the Beijing West Train Station we wait for our G657 Bullet Train that will take us all the way to Xian. If you need train tickets for China trains you can get them from Trip.com (link can be found below).
Today we are going to be travelling in second class from Beijing to Xian and the journey time is just over 5 hours. Over the course of our trip to China we will be experiencing all different classes of train travel including second class, first class, business class, VIP class and even a sleeper train.
We really enjoyed our time onboard this train, we all sat next to each other in a row of three seats.
Along the way we passed through some amazing scenery on our journey to Xian. We spend most of the time either looking out of the window and eating all the snacks we got the night before.
Once we arrived at Xian we got a taxi from Xian Train station to our hotel, the Holiday Inn Express Xian Bell Tower. The hotel is in a great central location just a couple of minutes walk to the famous Xian Bell Tower and about 5 minutes walk to the Muslim Quarter were we went to get food.
