The city of Xian today.

After landing in Xian, we found the greatest driver and used him for the entire visit to Xian.  We found him to be honest and knowledgeable.
Sun Long served in the Chinese military for more than ten years as a Chinese embassy, consulate driver in more than a dozen countries. However, he doesn't speak English (I understand he speaks a few other languages).  If you are not part of a tour group and like to travel on your own, you will want to hire Sun Long. If needed,
trust him to find an interpreter to show you around.  
This is his Xian cell phone number:
136-0916-251
I can't recommend anyone else in Xian,
and I've been there more than once.
With Sun Long as our driver, this turned out to be the best experience we've had in and around Xian.
He's good!

Qin Shi Huangdi's tomb.

The building behind us is one of several.  The site is large with many tourist shops outside the complex.
