Xi’an: walls, warriors and a proper food wander

Three days that let the Terracotta Army be the main event without losing the old city.

3 daysXi’anfirst visitmoderatehistory culturefood

Why this itinerary works

Walk the city wall and central streets after settling in, then keep the warrior outing on a separate day.

The final morning stays local; this short version leaves out another distant excursion.

Two nights keep the stay compact. If you arrive late, trim the first afternoon and head straight out for dinner.
