Xi'an

Xi’an City, one of the world's four great ancient cities, is famous for its role as the starting point of the Silk Road. In the past, it was previously known as Chang'an, which is a name that evokes a sense of pride in all Chinese people. Xi’an is widely regarded as the greatest city in Chinese history. During imperial dynasties such as the Zhou, Qin, Han, and Tang, Xi'an was the nation's capital city. The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor sits quietly on the outskirts waiting for the visitors. Big Wild Goose Pagoda offers adventure for travelers in search of traces left behind by monk Xuanzang. The towering heights of the Xi'an City Wall have many legends and stories to tell. Xi’an City's local delicacies are a must-try. There are many different types of food, all of which are completely suffused with the characteristics of northwestern China.
