Xi'an
Once a part of the Silk Road, Xi'an was the former capital of China and is famously housing the imposing statues of Terracotta Warriors in a spectacular underground site. Take a stroll along the Fortifications of Xi'an and marvel at the architectural feats of an ancient Chinese fortress.
South of Xi'an, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda stands tall and proud, prevailing in its ancient grandeur. And in the heart of the former capital is the Drum Tower of Xi'an, a towering Ming dynasty structure that signaled the end of the day through its mighty drum beats.
