Xian

Xi’an offers a fascinating journey through more than two thousand years of Chinese history. The Terracotta Warriors are the city’s most famous attraction, allowing visitors to see the scale, craftsmanship and military organization of the Qin Dynasty. Back in the city center, the well-preserved Ancient City Wall can be explored on foot or by bicycle. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda reflects the city’s Buddhist and Tang Dynasty heritage, while the Bell Tower and Drum Tower stand at the heart of the historic urban layout. The Muslim Quarter is a lively place to try local food and experience the energy of the old city. Visitors should taste roujiamo, lamb paomo, cold noodles and a variety of handmade noodles. In the evening, a Tang-style cultural performance can add music, costumes and storytelling to the journey. Xi’an is especially suitable for travelers who want history, archaeology, culture and food in one destination.
