Xi’an at a Glance
About Xi’an
Xian, the ancient capital of China, is a treasure trove of history and culture that captivates the hearts of travelers. The city's standout attraction is the majestic Terracotta Army, a collection of life-sized soldiers that has been guarding the tomb of Qin Shi Huang for over 2,000 years. Travellers are particularly fond of the city's vibrant Muslim Quarter, where they can sample delicious halal street food and shop for local handicrafts.
The best time to visit Xian is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), when the weather is mild and comfortable. For first-timers, we recommend purchasing a Xian City Wall ticket, which grants access to the ancient fortifications, the Terracotta Army, and other attractions, making it a great value for money.
