About Xi’an

Although Xi’an has many worthwhile attractions, including impressive city walls erected during the 14th-century Ming dynasty, the main draw is the Terracotta Warriors, located an hour’s drive away.

Crafted in 210BC to protect China’s first emperor Qin Shi Huang in the afterlife, more than 7,000 life-sized soldiers and horses line the vast mausoleum. What is even more remarkable is that each warrior’s face is different from the next.
