1Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum
Explore all three excavation pits, where over 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots, and 670 horses were hand-crafted by 700,000 workers. This vast underground army was created to protect China’s first emperor in the afterlife, then buried and forgotten for centuries. Even today, it is only partially uncovered.

2Xian Terracotta Warriors
Sit down to a spread of hearty dishes from rural Shaanxi you won’t find in the city. The menu includes Grandma’s Fried Pancake with smoky chili paste, steamed pork belly coated in toasted rice flour, buckwheat noodles once reserved for emperors, and Jiangshui Yuyu – a classic dish of chewy noodle bites in a tangy broth.
