As the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, Xi'an boasts numerous world-class cultural heritage sites. The Terracotta Warriors are hailed as the Eighth Wonder of the World, attracting millions of visitors annually. The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda is a masterpiece of Tang Dynasty Buddhist architecture, standing tall after a thousand years of wind and rain. Xi'an City Wall is China's most complete ancient city wall, stretching 13.74 kilometers; cycling around it offers panoramic views of the old and new city. Huaqing Pool is famous for the love story between Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, with its hot spring ruins evoking endless imagination.

The Bell Tower and Drum Tower are iconic landmarks in Xi'an, where the morning bells and evening drums have continued for six centuries. Daming Palace Park recreates the grandeur of the largest Tang Dynasty palace complex. The Stele Forest Museum preserves steles from the Han to Qing dynasties, serving as a hall of calligraphy art. The Banpo Site reveals life in a matrilineal clan society 6,000 years ago.

Knows the local talent

  • We recommend booking scenic area tickets on the official WeChat account 3 days in advance. During peak seasons, wait times at the entrance can range from 1 to 2 hours. Terracotta Warriors admission is 120 per person; Huaqing Palace is 120 per person. Online reservations allow skip-the-line entry.
  • Best times to avoid crowds: Arrive at the Terracotta Warriors at 8:30 for the first entry, and ride along the City Wall after 4 PM for the best lighting. The main street of Huimin Street is crowded; locals recommend older shops in Dapiyuan and Sajinqiao instead.
  • Travel Tip: Xi'an's subway covers major attractions; consider getting a Chang'an Tong card or using mobile payment. To visit the Terracotta Warriors in Lintong, take Tour Bus 5 (Line 306) for 7 CNY, with a travel time of about 1 hours.
  • Food recommendations: Local favorites include Lao Sun Jia Pomo (Beiyuan Branch), Jia San Soup Dumplings (Huimin Street), and Wei Family Liangpi (chain with consistent quality). A satisfying meal costs just 30-60 yuan per person.
