For an extra charge we can hold a panda or stand next to one and have our photo taken. I'm not sure how much this costs but we can find out when we ge there.

Between 8 and 10am catch the pandas being fed.

It's an alday trip and it's quite far away, but it's a must see. Maybe the train would be best.

Located behind the Drum tower is Xian's night market. The area is a large shopping district made up of small lanes and alleys. The buildings are built in the architectural style of the Qing dynasty, and are quite colorful. At night, many venders, peddlers and snack sellers set up booths along the narrow streets to sell local arts and foods to people. The shops sell Xian specialties like art supplies, traditional fans, tea shadow puppets, and snacks. There are many tea houses where visitors can relax, have a cup of tea, and watch people. The snack venders along the streets sell local cuisine. Since they are located right on the streets, the fantastic smells are everywhere and even people who are full, cannot help but buy something to snack on. The people are very friendly, and the prices are very reasonable (after bargaining). Near the old streets is a large market comprised of tents. Dried fruits, pickled snacks, and touristy type items can be found there.

Yes, it’s overrun by free spending tourists, but Yaxiu is an unavoidable fixture in the life of a serious shopper. It has a good selection of "brand-name" underwear, jeans, jackets, shoes, sports equipment, bags and souvenirs. Don’t forget to bargain ruthlessly. Some of the tailors on the third floor have a large following, as does the Creative Nail Beauty Salon on the fourth floor.
