At long last, here it is folks, the Xi'an adventure. This was my first real trip on my own in China, and it proved a good introduction to the Middle Kingdom. Starting with a missed train and ending with a nine-hour overnight climb up one of the country's sacred Taoist mountains, this trip gave me more to grapple with than I could have hoped for. I'm breaking this up into three posts, just to make things more readable. What follows is Part I.
