#discoverchina Xi’an (西安), the ancient capital of 13 dynasties, is a cultural and historical gem in central China. It's best known as the eastern terminus of the Silk Road and home to the world-famous Terracotta Army. The city blends ancient charm with modern vibrancy. 2-3 days is ideal to hit the highlights. 🗺️ Top Attractions 🏛️ Day 1 – History & Heritage Terracotta Army (兵马俑) – Qin Shi Huang’s underground army.
