Xi'an

Description: Step into the living history of Xi’an, the ancient capital of thirteen Chinese dynasties and the historic starting point of the legendary Silk Road. Most famous as the home of the world-renowned Terracotta Army, this UNESCO World Heritage site offers travelers the chance to witness thousands of life-sized clay soldiers, horses, and chariots guarding the tomb of China’s first emperor. Our curated Xi’an travel itineraries invite you to walk or cycle along the massive Ancient City Wall, the best-preserved fortification in China, offering breathtaking views of both the historic and modern city.

In the heart of the city, explore the vibrant Muslim Quarter, a sensory-rich labyrinth of narrow alleys filled with the aroma of “Roujiamo” (Chinese burgers) and hand-pulled noodles. Visit the 8th-century Great Mosque, a unique blend of Islamic and Chinese architecture, or find tranquility at the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, built to house sacred Buddhist scriptures. Whether you are marveling at the dazzling Tang Paradise light show, exploring the Shaanxi History Museum, or venturing to the sacred heights of Mount Hua, Xi’an provides a profound journey into the very soul of Chinese civilization.
