Xian

A world renowned ancient capital with over 3,000 years of history, Xian boasts arich legacy of historical sites and cultural relics.

Don’t miss the opportunity to wander along the wall, cycle or enjoy a rickshaw ride. However undoubtedly, Xian’s drawcard is the impressive terracotta army with thousands of soldiers and horses of varying ranks – the famed life sized tomb guards of Emperor Qin Si Huang are truly remarkable.

Beyond the warriors, there are numerous and intriguing historical sites and cultural relics worthy of exploration.

Xian is also positioned at the beginning (or end) of the Silk Road giving it a lively Muslim Quarter – offering a sensory overload, it’s a great area worth exploring.
