Hi, I’m Bob. I’ve lived in Xi’an for 10 years and built this site to share what I actually know about this city — especially halal-friendly food and trips for travelers coming from Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore. I’m not a travel agency: I write guides, and when you need bookings, I point you to licensed operators. Everything here comes from places I’ve been myself.
Every guide on this site starts with me being there. My process:
1. Visit in person — I walk the route, eat at the restaurant, time the queues.
2. Verify the details — ticket prices and opening hours are checked against official sources (e.g. the Terracotta Army Museum site), and I note the date I checked.
3. Write from notes — not from other blogs.
4. Re-check every quarter — prices and hours change, and I update the “last verified” date when they do.
Photos on this site are taken by me. If I ever use a stock or partner image, I say so.
We take every trip seriously, hoping to help you experience even more beautiful scenery.We take every trip seriously, hoping to help you experience even more beautiful scenery.
