Exploring Xi’an: Terracotta Warriors & Ancient Wonders

Visiting Xi’an was like stepping back in time. We did a tour to see the famous Terracotta Warriors, but honestly, you can easily do it on your own using Didi from the city. Here’s how our trip went: Terracotta Warriors – A Historic Marvel Seeing the Terracotta Army in person was surreal. Thousands of life-sized soldiers, each with unique details, standing in formation to protect China’s first emperor. The scale of the site was mind-blowing! Pit 1 was the most impressive, with rows of warriors fully excavated. Other Must-See Spots in Xi’an: ✔️ Xi’an City Wall – One of the best-preserved city walls in China. You can even rent a bike and ride along it for amazing views. ✔️ Muslim Quarter – A lively area full of delicious street food like roujiamo (Chinese burger) and biangbiang noodles. ✔️ Giant Wild Goose Pagoda – A peaceful spot with beautiful architecture and a fountain show at night. Tips for Visiting Xi’an on Your Own: ✔️ Use Didi – Much cheaper and more convenient than a tour. ✔️ Go early to the Terracotta Warriors – It gets crowded fast. ✔️ Wear comfortable shoes – There’s a lot of walking, especially at the city wall. ✔️ Try the street food – The Muslim Quarter is a foodie paradise! Xi’an is a city full of history, great food, and stunning sights. Would you add it to your China itinerary? #xiantrip #terracottawarriors #chinatravel
