Train Home from Xi'An

I thought the warriors were cool, the Presidential Suite cooler, but I was utterly amazed by the views out of the windows of G666 as it whooshed us from Xian to Beijing in just over 5 hours. It seemed that every 30 minutes or so a nest if cranes erected a new city - no cars, not many people around, but piles of buildings being stacked up.

I have taken the train in China a few times to and from Shanghai, but this was my first time on this stretch, and the urbanization that seemed to pop right out of the farmland was awesome to look at.

Amazed!
