Xi'an at a glance

Xi’an, cradle of dynasties and gateway to the Silk Road, unfolds like a grand chapter of China’s living history. The mighty city walls stand unshaken, guarding bustling streets where modern life flows beside ancient temples and markets rich with spices and silks. Walking through the old quarters, I felt the pulse of centuries, from the grandeur of the Tang dynasty to the silent ranks of the Terracotta Army. Every monument, gate, and lantern-lit alley tells a story, weaving together a tapestry of culture, trade, and timeless tradition that still thrives in the heart of the city.
