Here, you can witness the Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang, hailed as the "Eighth Wonder of the World," climb the largest and best-preserved Ming Dynasty city wall in China, or visit the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda built for Xuanzang's scripture collection. The Bell and Drum Tower in the city center is a landmark of Xi'an, while the Tang Dynasty City under the night sky shines brilliantly, making visitors feel as if they have traveled back to the flourishing Tang when many nations came to pay tribute.
