Reasons to visit Xian Xian is Chinese history. "If you want to see China of 100 years ago, visit Shanghai; China of 500 years ago, Beijing; China of 2000 years ago, Xian." This old saying tells the unique position of this legendary city. Xian played a very important role in the early years of China and practically it was here that Chinese empire started. The No.1 reason why people visit Xian is naturally the incredible Army of Terracotta Warriors, but it turns out that the region has more to offer: the remains of ancient city walls, the Big Wild Goose pagoda and the Small Wild Goose pagoda, Shaanxi History Museum, and the spectacular Tang Dynasty Music and Dance Show. All these give only a little clue to this once sumptuous area.
