The 14th National Games held in Xi'an has triggered great interest — not only in sports and fitness, but also in the host city itself. If you are planning a tour of Xi'an taking less than 3 days, you'll want to hit all the following highlights.
The Terracotta Army
The Terracotta Army is not just China's premier historical attraction but one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century, which was constructed by China's First Emperor Qin Shi Huang of the Qin Dynasty (221 BC-207 BC). It is a collection of thousands of life-size terracotta soldiers,horses,and chariots(战车)in battle formation,showing the emperor's armies in full splendor.
Ancient City Wall
Xi'an City Wall was built in the 14th century by Zhu Yuanzhang, the first Emperor of the Ming Dynasty(1368-1644) as a military defense system. Now it is one of the oldest and best-preserved Chinese city walls. The wall is now a landmark, dividing the city into inner and outer areas.
Giant Wild Goose Pagoda
One of China's most famous Buddhist pagodas, the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda was built in the Tang Dynasty(618-907) for the study of Buddhist scriptures. One of the main functions of the pagoda was to store sutras (经文) brought to China from India by the famous monk and traveller Xuan Zang. It was built with layers of bricks and has a grand structure and appearance. It is exemplary of traditional Chinese architecture.
Shaanxi History Museum
The Shaanxi History Museum is home to over 370,000 precious relics unearthed in Shaanxi over the years. Its collections range from bronze wares to pottery figures, gold and silver wares and wall paintings from the Tang Dynasty(618-907) tombs. Among its precious collections, 18 pieces have been listed as national treasures.
