Terracotta figures, city walls and a place shaped by long-distance exchange.

Discover
Xi’an

Xi'an was the starting point of the ancient Silk Roads and remains one of China's great historic cities. The Terracotta Army is its best-known sight, with thousands of life-size figures guarding the tomb of China's first emperor.

Back in the city, walk or cycle a section of the City Wall, visit the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda and explore the lively streets around the Muslim Quarter. Together they make Xi'an more than a single archaeological stop.
