Xi'an
Where China's History Begins — Ancient Capital of 13 Dynasties
Recommended: 3-4 DaysDiscover Xi'an
Xi'an stood at the eastern end of the Silk Road and served as the capital of numerous Chinese dynasties. For over 3,000 years, emperors ruled here while merchants, diplomats, and scholars connected China with Central Asia and beyond.
Today, Xi'an is a living museum. The Terracotta Army still guards China's first emperor after more than 2,200 years, the ancient city wall encircles the historic center, and the Muslim Quarter reflects centuries of Silk Road exchange through its markets, mosques, and food traditions.
