Xi'an

Xi'an is one of the oldest cities in China and the eastern terminus of the Silk Road. Its most famous attraction is the Terracotta Army, a vast collection of life-sized terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China.

The city itself is surrounded by a well-preserved ancient city wall, which you can cycle on for incredible views. Don't miss the Muslim Quarter for a vibrant culinary experience.
