Xian, China

Xi’an or 西安 is a much more laid back city in China than it’s Beijing and Shanghai counterparts. It attracts the crowds because of the Terracotta Warriors (https://www.getyourguide.com/xi-an-l270/xi-an-terracotta-warriors-museum-tour-t207342/?partner_id=SVNU3W4&currency=USD&travel_agent=1&cmp=share_to_earn). They are iconic to see but there is so much more here than that! The Muslim Quarter was one of my favorite things to experience in Xi’an (https://www.getyourguide.com/xi-an-l270/xi-an-muslim-quarter-small-group-food-mosque-tour-t207312/?partner_id=SVNU3W4&currency=USD&travel_agent=1&cmp=share_to_earn) from the interesting sights like snakes or scorpions on a stick, to the best hand pulled noodles you will ever have.

There is so much to eat and experience. A couple more of my favorite activities are the Pagoda and walking the city wall. Xi’an is a must visit especially if you are visiting multiple cities throughout China.
