Xi'an, China

Xi'an China

Xi’an, once the eastern terminus of the Silk Road and ancient capital of 13 dynasties, is one of China’s most historically rich cities. At its heart stands the remarkably preserved City Wall, encircling the old town in a 14-kilometer rectangle. Rent a bicycle and ride along the top for sweeping views of tiled rooftops, bustling markets, and modern high-rises rising beyond the ramparts—a vivid reminder of how the city bridges past and present. No visit to Xi’an is complete without seeing the Terracotta Army, located about an hour outside the city. Discovered by farmers in 1974, thousands of life-sized warriors, horses, and chariots stand in vast pits guarding the tomb of China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang. Each soldier has unique facial features and expressions, and the sheer scale of the complex makes it one of the most impressive archaeological sites in the world. Within the old city, the Muslim Quarter buzzes with life, food, and color. Stroll its narrow lanes to sample cumin-scented lamb skewers, hand-pulled noodles, and Xi’an’s signature “roujiamo” (often described as a Chinese-style burger). Don’t miss the Great Mosque of Xi’an, an elegant blend of traditional Chinese architecture and Islamic design, tucked away amid lively street stalls selling spices, dried fruits, and souvenirs. For a quieter perspective, head to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and its surrounding park, especially beautiful in the evening when the fountains and pagoda are illuminated. The nearby Shaanxi History Museum provides essential context to what you see around the city, with exquisite bronzes, pottery, and murals from Xi’an’s long imperial past. Whether you’re here for ancient wonders, street food, or cultural exploration, Xi’an offers a compact yet endlessly fascinating introduction to China’s history.
