China Xian Tours


Xi'an, once called Chang'an in Han Dynasty, is the capital of Shanxi Province. As one of China's seven ancient national capitals, it served as the capital for 12 dynasties spanning more than 1,000 years. The city's capital status lasted for 1608 years. Visiting China, Xi'an is undoubtedly one of the must-visit cities. The cultural and historical significance of the area, as well as the abundant relics and sites, help Xi'an enjoy the laudatory title of 'Natural History Museum'. The main tourist attractions include The Terra cotta Warriors and Horses, Great Wild Goose Pagoda, Small Wild Goose Pagoda, Huaqing Pool, BanPo Site, Stele Forest, Great Mosque, QianLing Mausoleum, Famen Temple and Maoling Mausoleum. More than 4,000 historical sites and tombs have been excavated and over 120,000 historical relics reearthed. Xi'an was the starting point of the Ancient Silk Road that extended from Asia to Europe and played an important role in cultural inter flow between the East and West in ancient times.
