We are back in China with another 144-HR visa free transit. This time, we travel to Xi'An, China for Chinese New Year!!! Xi'An is the oldest city in China. So we were hoping to join the festive Spring Festival celebrations. But many people on our comment sections are warning us not to visit China during the Chinese New Year because travelling in China is a nightmare during this holiday season. And many cities will become like a ghost town. But we really want to see what China is like during the new year. So we flew to Xi'An to find out. Travelling to China was not what we expected. China surprised us! Is China dangerous? Is China safe? What's China really like? Check out our vlog! Travelling to China was not what we expected. China surprised us! Is China dangerous?
