    • If you are in Xi'An you have to eat Baozi. (actualy not only if you are in Xi'An)Thatīs definitive a cultural tip.
    I like those dumplings very much but if you dont know Chinese language it may be a surprise what is inside the dumplings. (especially when you buy it in the street market) It may be pork, beef, seafood, vegetables...

    Besides, its also important to order it in the correct way. I mean the correct pronunciation. Once I made a mistake when I ordered it in a restaurant. Fortunately the waitress understood English otherwise they would give me a newspaper.

    • I donīt know if I should call it as a 'cultural tip' because you wonīt go XiīAn to play chess. No, I donīt mean the game what the Westerner play but Chinese Chess.

    Once I saw a group of men standing on the street and they stared on the floor. I am curious so I was interested to find out what they were looking for... I went near to them and then I saw it. They didnīt look for something but the played. Chinese Chess.
