@Chinese Bamboo You are so lucky.......When I chose my university, very few people would choose those in Western China. Nobody would like to travel 10+ hours by train to Xi'an when you have nearby choices! But now, Xi'an and Western China are developing so fast. My cousin marries a local Xi'an guy. They met in Beijing's university, and she is from SHENZHEN! But they decide to settle in Xi'an! When I attended their wedding a couple of years ago, there was no subway, no high-speed rail. Only that chaotic railway station which directly faces Xi'an's city wall.....Now, Xi'an is brand new, new I mean not only she has more subways, expressways and high-speed railways, but she is much more culturally and economically confident!
If you happen to meet your guy in Xi'an, no need to come back to Wuhan! I don't think your parents will worry about the distance. Now it takes 4 hours by train (1000+km) from Wuhan and will be less than 3 hours when the direct Xi'an-Wuhan HSR opens (750km, around 2020). When you choose a university, actually you are choosing your second hometown in your life! I reckon Shanghai as my second hometown. @Shotgunner51 @GS Zhou

@Chinese Bamboo I guess when you arrived in Xi'an for the first time you were at this brand new airport-live High-speed Railway hub.
A couple of years ago I took a long-distance train to Xi'an spending a whole night....
And I was at
The region around this old railway station was notorious.....chaotic and dirty
BUT
A couple of years later, you will see a brand new one taking place of the old one, and it will be magnificent!
@Chinese Bamboo Have you taken Xi'an subway yet?
Though I've never been to Xi'an after Xi'an subway opened, I think the whole project is an art in terms of the interior design....just like the city!
Encounter Xi'an
