Where Ancient China Comes Alive

Discovered in 1974 by local farmers, the Terracotta Army is one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century. Over 8,000 life-sized warriors, horses, and chariots were buried with China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, to protect him in the afterlife. Each figure has unique facial features, hairstyles, and armor — a testament to ancient Chinese craftsmanship.

Step into a dazzling recreation of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty and the starting point of the Silk Road. This 1,500-meter pedestrian street comes alive after dark with spectacular light shows, traditional performances, Tang-style architecture, and street food from across Shaanxi province.

Built during the Ming Dynasty (1370-1378) on foundations dating back to the Tang Dynasty, Xi'an's city wall is the most complete ancient city fortification in China. At 13.7 kilometers long and 12 meters high, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of both ancient and modern Xi'an.
