Xi'an

Xi'an, a Walking Epic of History

"Chang'an has been the capital of emperors since ancient times." Xi'an (ancient Chang'an) witnessed the rise and fall of thirteen dynasties and is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization.

Here lies the Eighth Wonder of the World—the Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang, with thousands of pottery soldiers in imposing formation. Hands-on DIY terracotta lets children immerse in Qin-era craftsmanship; at Huaqing Palace, discover the love story of Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, and by night watch the epic outdoor show Song of Everlasting Sorrow amid flowing lights and Tang splendor.

Walking Xi'an's streets, past and present converse everywhere.

Cycle atop the 600-year-old Ming city wall through ancient cityscapes; watch intangible-heritage shadow puppetry at Gao Family Courtyard; don hanfu and stroll Tang Paradise or the "Chang'an Twelve Hours" immersive block—a one-second "time travel" to Tang-era streets.

Yongxingfang's bowl-smashing wine, Muslim Quarter's roujiamo, biangbiang noodles—let your taste buds unlock Shaanxi flavors. Stay in upscale hotels, enjoy hassle-free airport transfers, and experience the unique charm of "ancient capital, new rhythm."
