Xi'an, located in central-northwest China, records the great changes of the country just like a living history book. Called Chang'an, meaning the everlasting peace, in ancient times, it is one of the birthplaces of the ancient Chinese civilization in the Yellow River Basin area. More than 3,000 years of history, including over 1,100 years as the capital city of ancient China, have endowed Xi’an with amazing historical heritages and cultural relics, which attract people from all over the world to make their tours.
In Xi’an, the most attractive part of your tour will be the unrivalled experience to enjoy the present moment as well as touch the history. For example, wearing Hanfu, traditional Chinese clothing, and visiting various historical attractions are just like taking a time machine to travel back to ancient times; standing on the City Wall, you will see the ancient Bell Tower and rows of quaint-style architecture on one side, and find impressive high-rise modern buildings on the other side; strolling in the themed streets of Great Tang All Day Mall, actors in traditional costumes give lively performances and you can interact with them, as if you are really having fun together with historical celebrities.
Xi’an owns a reputation as “the capital of table delicacies”, and its specialties are marked by rich varieties and delicious tastes. Coming to Xi’an, you can not only feast your eyes on abundant historical and cultural attractions, but also treat yourself to real feasts. It’s not a joke that one gets 3 pounds heavier after visiting Xi’an. Must-tries include Crumbled Flatbread in Mutton Stew, Shaanxi Hamburger, Biang Biang Noodles, and Cold Skin Noodles.
