Latest Xi'an hotel reviews
Helpfulness
Neolithic village. Oh how silly, think one of the guidebooks described it as 'Fred Flintstone's village' or similar. But the 'freak museum' next to it is worth a visit. Has interesting exhibits on deformed human bodies and fetuses in formaldehyde for instance. Also has a 'scare' exhibit on sexually transmitted diseases and severed sex organs in glass bottles. An interesting peak into something very macabre by western standards, not unlike the anthropological museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Some parts of the actual dig were interesting but in general it wasn't very well presented. Parts looked more like a theme park than a historical site.
