Xian has many must-see attractions, including the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, the Ancient City Wall, the Shaanxi History Museum, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the Muslim Quarter.
Those terracotta warriors and horses were made about 2,200 years ago. They are life-size terracotta warriors to defend the army of Qin Shihuang (which was the first emperor in Chinese history). Those warriors and horses were discovered in March 1974.
Xian is a historical destination that can be visited throughout the year. However, the best seasons to visit are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). During these months, the weather is mild and pleasant, with comfortable temperatures and fewer crowds. Additionally, the springtime brings beautiful cherry blossoms to the city, while autumn offers stunning fall foliage. If you're interested in experiencing Xian's winter season, you can visit during this time to view the snowy landscapes and enjoy the lively atmosphere of the Spring Festival (also known as Chinese New Year), which typically falls in late January or early February.
Xian is well connected to other parts of China by air and train, with regular flights and high-speed trains available from major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Guilin, Zhangjiajie, Dunhuang, Pingyao, Luoyang, Zhengzhou, Chongqing, and more. If you have specific travel ideas or transportation preferences, our travel experts are happy to help you arrange the best transportation option for your needs.
Xian offers a wide range of accommodation options, from budget hostels to luxury hotels. Popular areas to stay in Xian include the city center, near the Bell Tower, and near the South Gate of the Ancient City Wall. Before booking your Xian tour, let us know your preferred hotel class (3 star, 4 star, or 5 star) and we can provide a list of hotels for your reference.
Xian is famous for its delicious cuisine, including dishes like biang biang noodles, rou jia mo (Chinese-style hamburgers), and yangrou paomo (lamb soup with bread). The city is also renowned for its street food, especially in the Muslim Quarter. If you're interested in trying dumplings, we offer a family visit experience where you can learn to make dumplings or a Dumpling Dinner (Jiaozi Banquet) where you can enjoy a variety of dumplings.
