This is the city to see the Terra Cotta Warriors. Definitely a can't miss tourist attraction. To see these hundreds of warriors is a piece of ancient history.

Ancient capital of China.

An amazing, amazing place. See the terra-cotta warriors....they alone are worth the airfare to China!

Pensez à profiter de la vieille ville et pas seulement aller voir les soldats d'argile. Essayez de trouver un petit voyage organisé d'une journée dont le point phare reste toujours ces fameux soldats et qui vous permettra aussi de voir quelques petits sites comme un musée de médecine traditionnelle ou les premiers bains impériaux (ces petits sites ne sont que peu coûteux comparés au prix du principal soit des soldats ; en plus vous aurez le trajet en bus, les visites guidées que vous n'êtes pas obligé de suivre, et le repas de midi dans un restaurant qui restera bien chinois )

Go to the One plus One Nightclub. You have to requestion your drinks with the manager as there is no bar.

All the main sights outside of the city can be reached by public bus.  Grab a good travel guide to find out which ones, and stay alert on your way there.

Visit the south of Xián city and see the art's market, here you can pick up Chinese paintings and other Chinese artwork.

This place is a must-see!!!
In the Qin emperors mausoleum stays a great army of terra cotta composed of 6000 real size warriors and horses. Old of 2000 years this site has been discovered in 1974 by peasants digging a water well.
This site is very impressive because of its huge size ans the statues are truly beautiful. Moreover, the warriors are all different, each having its own face, hairdo and stature which adds to the realism of this army of a 1:1 scale.

Hostels in China are mostly very clean and are much better than most hotels. Unless your hotels are large chain hotels are are expensive, stay in hostels. Small hotels in China usually don't have English while the hostels have University students studying English.

see the warriors early in the day, private guides can be hired
