Xi'an Sights
In addition to the Terra Cotta Warriors, which are located outside of town, there
are some sights worth seeing in town. Here
are our suggestions:
- The major attractions to see are
- the Big Wild Goose Pagoda
- the Small Wild Goose Pagoda
- the City Wall
- the Bell Tower
- the Drum Tower
- Distances can be deceptively long and taxi's
are cheap. Start with the Big Wild Goose
Pagoda and use a taxi to travel between pagodas
and on to the city wall. Taxis are plentiful,
so you don't need to hire one for the day.
Once at the wall, you can walk a few blocks
to reach the Bell and Drum Towers.
- The city wall is worth a visit to appreciate
its size, height, and strength. If the weather
is nice, consider renting a bicycle (available
on top of the wall) and riding along on top
of the wall.
- If you are looking for paper cuts, brushes,
embroidery, or paintings, skip the gift shops
and stop by the shops on the side street
just north east of the city wall's south
gate. You'll find a wider selection at bargain
prices.
