Xi'an Travel Guide

China's ancient capital

Xi'an is ideal for travellers who want imperial history, archaeology and living food culture in one compact city. Plan the Terracotta Warriors with enough time for the City Wall and Muslim Quarter.

Good pacing

  • Reserve a full half-day for the Terracotta Warriors.
  • Cycle or walk the City Wall late in the day.
  • Try the Muslim Quarter with a local food guide.
