A walk along a section of this enormous, undulating, towered, and turreted wall is a not-to-be-missed experience.

Xi’an boasts one of the world's great archeological treasures thanks to a group of peasants who discovered them in 1974 while digging for a well. The partially excavated mausoleum of the Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi (259-210 B.C.), the first emperor who unified China's divided territories into one nation, is the size of a city and will take archeologists many more years to completely unearth. During a full day of sightseeing, see thousands of life-size terra cotta soldiers, no two alike, and their horses, chariots and weapons, standing in formation. Your sightseeing continues with the city’s Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Bell Tower, from where you can see all four of Xian's city gates. (B, L, D)
