The Terra Cotta Army and Horses museum
The Terra Cotta Army and Horses is one of the most spectacular things in Xi'an. It is one of the burial pits belongs to the mausoleum of the first emperor of the Qin dynasty, Qinshihuang. You can not find a place anywhere else like this where so many soldiers have been standing here and waiting for you for such a long time. The museum has built several modern buildings in which contain the excavation work sites. Three pits have been discovered. They were named pit one, pit two and pit three, in order of discovery. In pit one, you can see the main part of the army, although most part of the pit is still underground. In pit two and pit three, you can find the other parts of the whole underground army. All of the Terra-cotta Warriors are believed to represent the real Qin army soldiers. Each one is different, having varied kinds of faces, expressions, even the hair and moustache styles. The works of Terra-cotta Warriors are nearly as tall as a real person, from 1.78m to 1.97m tall, with different weights and sizes.
Big wild goose pagoda
Big wild goose pagoda is one of two complete buildings still standing from the Tang dynasty, dating back to 652 years ago. It is 64 metres (seven stories) high, with a square base under the pagoda. The pagoda has been standing in an ancient temple for a long time, Da Cien temple which is a Buddhism temple for more than 1300 years. The Buddhism scriptures and the statues were taken from India to Xi'an, and have become precious heritage today, being preserved in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda now. From the top of the pagoda, you can see the south suburb of Xi'an.
City wall
This ancient city wall which was built in 1370 to 1378 still encircles the old city today. It is 13.7 kilometres long with 17 gates on the wall. Xi'an city wall is the most complete city wall in the world. We built it as a defence in ancient times and the city wall has remained standing through three wars. Since the top of the city wall is 12 metres wide, you even can ride a bicycle on the wall if you have enough time and the weather is nice. It will take you about 1.5 hours to complete whole circle and you can see the old city from different part of the city.
