| Page Views: 461 Last Visit to Xi'an: October, 2006 | Fascinating Xian by Paul2001 - last update: Jan 28, 2007 |
Visiting Xian was one of my high points of my journey through China. I found that because of it's historical importance, Xian had a great many attractions that were worth seeing. Of course the most important are the famed Terracotta Warriors located just east of the city, however there much more to see. Xian has one of the best museums in China, there are several great architectural monuments and the massive and well restored city walls. Unlike most Chinese cities that I visited, I found myself pressed for time here in my effort to hit all of these fine attractions. If you visit Xian give it a lot of time if you want to see all of its worthy sites. |

Xian looks like a fascinating city. The terra cotta warriors must be one of the greatest sights in China, if not the world. | FruitLover Sat May 5, 2007 23:07 UTC
Thanx, Paul, for the virtual tour. FL | globetrott Sun Jan 14, 2007 06:05 UTC
What an interresting place ! Qin Shi Huang's terracotta-warriors are still fighting - 2200 years for him and now for the tourist-industry of modern China ! |
