Xi'an Attractions

Usually two or three days are enough to enjoy the ambiance of this ancient Chinese city of Xi'an, but for history buffs, they could easily stay busy for a week. Topping the list of attractions in and around Xi'an are the Terracotta Warriors, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the Great Mosque and the ancient City Wall. With a little more time, you may throw yourself into the Stele Forest, Shaanxi History Museum or any number of historical sites outside the town. Furthermore, an excursion to nearby Mt.
