Spanning eight hundred li of Qinchuan, the capital of thirteen dynasties, with five thousand years of history and three thousand li of the Silk Road, this was once the world center of Chang'an City, where 'the palace gates opened to the heavens and envoys from all nations came to pay homage.' Majestic natural scenery and splendid cultural landscapes complement each other, blending the ancient capital's charm with modern vitality to create Xi'an's unique allure. In Xi'an, even a brick underfoot is older than any passerby. Perhaps you are walking the same streets as people a thousand years ago, and maybe the very spot where you stand was once pondered by the great poet Li Bai.

There are countless places worth visiting in Xi'an, but without a doubt, the Terracotta Warriors are the top recommendation. They are a golden calling card of ancient China's brilliant civilization and are hailed as one of the world's eight greatest tomb treasures. Standing before these imposing clay soldiers, you can't help but envision the might of Emperor Qin Shi Huang as he unified the six warring states.

Huaqing Palace was a detached palace for Tang Dynasty emperors. Later also known as 'Huaqing Pool,' it is built against the backdrop of Mount Li and faces the Wei River, with magnificent buildings spread across the mountain slopes. Entering the imperial bath ruins within Huaqing Pool, you'll find the Haitang Pool, Shangshi Pool, and Taizi Pool, among others—an epitome of Tang Dynasty royal bathing culture at its zenith.

The Datang Everbright City, home to multiple cultural heritage sites including the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, is situated at the heart of the 'Giant Wild Goose Pagoda – Tang Paradise' national 5A scenic area. Strolling through, scenes of Xuanzang's westward journey for Buddhist scriptures and Tang Dynasty tributes seem to come alive around you. Modern street performances with violins, cellos, tambourines, and solo acts add to the enchantment. Here, built upon a wealth of historical and cultural relics, the ultimate Tang Dynasty cultural experience lets you 'travel back' to the golden age of the Tang.

For many, a main reason to come to Xi'an is: food, food, and more food. And the Muslim Quarter is a must-visit. Xi'an's Muslim Quarter, one of the symbols of local flavor, is a collective name for several streets in the Muslim district. It's a gathering place for all kinds of Northwestern-style cuisine: spicy soup, soup dumplings, roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), yangrou paomo (pita bread soaked in lamb soup), liangpi (cold noodles), Qishan noodles, and more—you could eat here for a week without repeating a dish. Once you step into these streets, as long as your stomach has room, you'll be the brightest star on the block!
