Xi’an

The Terracotta Army, and the start of the Silk Road.

For more than a thousand years Xi’an was the eastern end of the Silk Road and the capital of China’s greatest dynasties. Come for the Terracotta Warriors, then stay for the intact Ming city wall, which you can cycle, and the food lanes of the Muslim Quarter.
