Let’s go! Here’s how to dive deep into Xi’an’s epic history & flavor in just 3 days Day 1: Start your Xi’an adventure in the evening wandering the buzzing Xi'an Muslim Quarter. Street eats here are legendary—try roujiamo (Chinese burger) and black sesame ice cream while soaking up the neon-lit vibes. Next, head to the iconic Bell and Drum Towers, best seen glowing in the dark. Day 2: Start early at the imposing Xi'an City Wall. Afterward, step into Xi'an Museum to get hands-on with centuries-old artifacts. In the beautiful park at the museum you’ll find the Small Goose Pagoda among other hidden gems. For an unforgettable night, catch the Greater Tang Show to see dazzling performances that channel Xi’an’s imperial past. Day 3: Terracotta Army - It’s about an hour from city center and gets quite crowded by midday. Beat the lines for jaw-dropping first glimpses of those endless clay warriors. #terracottaarmy #xiancitywall #xian #historicallandmarks

If you can't make an appointment with Shaan Libo, you will settle for the second choice. The small goose pagoda is more fragrant!
