Xian is an ancient haven of archaeological wonders.
It is home to the Terracotta Warriors; the famed life-sized
tomb guards of Emperor Qin Shiguang. Responsible for unifying China more than 2,000 years ago,
Emperor Qin's magnificent collection of hand-made soldiers is recognised as one of the greatest cultural heritages in the world.
The ancient capital of 13 dynasties and home to thousands of
historical sites, including the Neolithic village of Banpo, Xian is steeped in history and full
of relics.
