Most tourists' Chinese itineraries include Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. It's a mistake to not include Xi'an in your vacation plans. Here is a list of top things you can do in Xi'an that will definitely convince you to include this incredible city in your itinerary.
Cycling around the city wall is very popular. Xi'an's city wall is one of the nation's few well-preserved walls. The Ming Dynasty, which reigned from 1300 BC to 1700 BC, built this impeccable structure. It is amazing how long a wall can last. Up here, you are promised an incredible panoramic view of the city. Rent a bike and cycle in the summit. Your bike journey may take 1 to 2 hours, but it really is worth it! When looking for Xi'an hotels for accommodation, make sure it's close to the City wall. You will spend a lot of time here. For instance, you can check out properties like Grand Park Xian, which is only a quick drive away from the City Wall.
Market stalls offering food, drinks, herbs, snacks, and other goods line this popular boulevard. Don't just stay on the main route; explore the side streets. Numerous souvenir stores sell unique handicrafts as well as souvenirs. You may also acquire imitation luxury bags. Explore the Muslim market at dusk, when the trees are lighted in a magnificent blue. And make sure to arrive right before sunset for the best photo-taking opportunities!
The famed drum and bell towers are located in the centre of Xi'an. In ancient times, this place was significant. In times of emergencies and dangers, the bells were used as a signal to alert the people. The old city of Xi'an used to sound these bells in the morning and then the drums in the evenings in order to keep people aware of the hour of the day. They haven't been used in a long time. You may still go if you want to get those beautiful pictures.
Hua Shan is often recognised as the most perilous trekking site on the planet. That type of reputation, on the other hand, may easily put you off. However, many people choose to ignore this and head out there, puzzled as to why? The mountain is breathtaking, that's why!. Keep a close eye out for the plank component that is fastened to the mountain's edge here on way up. For your safety, you'll be strapped to travel to the opposite side. You can still ride the gondolas up to the mountain if you would not want to take a risk. The views from the summit are nothing short of breathtaking!
This is definitely the biggest attraction in Xi'an. The Terracotta Warriors are famous all over the globe. You will need to travel for roughly an hour to reach here from the capital. Terracotta clay has been used to create the army of soldiers on show at this museum.
