Xi’an City in the Shaanxi Province of China is one of the oldest cities in the country. With such a historically rich background, it is no surprise that the place is peppered with significant landmarks and ancient ruins that define its culture and identity, making it one of China’s most interesting places to visit. Indeed, those that find themselves in town, whether for a vacation or a business trip, will have a hard time running out of things to see and do. Here are some of the most popular tourist draws that one should check out.

The Bell and Drum Towers of Xi’an are probably the ones that can be visited first as they are so identified with the city. Built during the time of the Ming Dynasty in the 1300s, both have become symbolic of Xi’an. The Bell Tower used to ring its large bronze-cast bells at dawn to mark the beginning of the day, while the huge drum in the Drum Tower is struck at sunset to signify the end of the day during ancient times.

The City Wall of Xi’an, meanwhile, is one of the oldest and best preserved of China’s many city walls. Like most walls constructed during ancient times in China, it was meant to protect the city as well as define its boundaries.

For a more academic dose of local history, the Shaanxi History Museum would be most appealing. One of the first huge state museums in China that boast of modern facilities, the establishment houses a rich collection of more than 300,000 murals, paintings, sculptures, pottery, and other items that define Chinese culture and history.

For those seeking something more contemporary to explore, the Tang Paradise would be the place to see. It is a large theme park that features modern buildings, squares, and gardens, but which still have hints of traditional Chinese architectural designs. A willow-lined lake is at the center of the park, and every night, a spectacular Lake Show is held for visitors, featuring lasers, video projections onto the water, and fountain special effects.

Perhaps the most popular of the city’s attractions however, and the most must-see of all, is the Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang. Built within the Mausoleum and in honor of the First Emperor of China, these terracotta warriors, chariots, horses, officials, acrobats, strongmen, and even musicians number a staggering estimate of 8,800. Declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the figures are so fascinating and cloaked in legend and mystery that they have inspired and are even featured in some Hollywood films such as The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.

While exploring these fascinating sites, a suitable place to stay would be Nanlin International Hotel. Located in the Xincheng District of Xi’an, its proximity to most of these local attractions makes it an ideal base. Providing guests with warm, inviting Xi’an accommodations that are fully equipped to make each stay as relaxing and enjoyable as possible, it is an appealing place to come home to after a long day of sight-seeing.
