Absorb Xi'an's epic history at the numerous temples and imperial palaces, and be sure to take a trip out to the Terracotta Warriors. Bike around the Old City, relax in a park, and then admire the fountains at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda when they light up after dark. Experience the quirky side of modern Xi’an at a local opera. When it all gets too much, escape for a day or two into the surrounding countryside.
