Begin your tour with a visit to the Terracotta Army, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Buried for more than 2,200 years, this grand underground legion was built to guard the mausoleum of China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang. Boasting over 8,000 life-sized terracotta warriors and horses, every sculpture features a unique face, hairstyle, and armor detail with no identical duplicates.
Witness the exquisite bronze chariot relics and the ongoing archaeological excavation site in person, exploring the magnificent underground empire that has slept for thousands of years — an unmissable historical spectacle for global travelers visiting China.
Next, head to the Xi’an Ming Dynasty City Wall, the most intact and well-preserved brick city wall in China with a history of over 600 years. Standing on the wall, capture a stunning ancient-and-modern city contrast view: stretches of ancient grey bricks and traditional red lanterns extend for miles, while modern urban skyscrapers stand in the distance.
Cycle along the wall’s pedestrian path and greet the golden sunset glow in the evening. Touch the weathered ancient bricks and feel the grand layout of the ancient Chang’an City, easily taking stunning cultural travel photos with a unique East-meets-West atmosphere.
Finally, visit the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, an iconic Silk Road Buddhist landmark of the Tang Dynasty. Originally built in the Tang Dynasty’s Ci’en Temple, this time-honored seven-story brick pagoda was constructed by the eminent monk Xuanzang to enshrine thousands of Sanskrit scriptures he brought back from India. It stands as a crucial witness to cultural exchanges along the ancient Silk Road.
The elegant pagoda embodies the supreme aesthetic of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Paired with the splendid musical fountain show on the northern square, it presents a vivid story of Eastern Buddhist culture and Sino-foreign civilization integration.
