Exploration of Xi'an
Xi'an is a city with long history and abundant cultural heritage, located in northwest China and known all over the world as the home to the Terracotta Army and the eastern terminus of the Silk Road. The famous Silk Road emerged from the city and connected to the other great civilizations of the age, offering a taste of China to the world and making Xi'an an international city long before anyone coined the term "cosmopolitan." Xi'an also rivals Athens, Cairo and Rome as one of the four ancient capitals in the world as the city has a history of more than 3,100 years, in which more than 1,100 years was as the capital city for 13 dynasties.
In these four days you will walk to check most of the main attractions, such as Terracotta Warriors Museum, Muslim Quarter, City Wall, Wild Big Goose Pagoda, Banpo Museum, but also make your effort to challenge the most steep mountain among the Five Sacred Mountains in China. If you are brave enough you also can try the plank walk along the cliff in Mt. Huashan!
