Is Xi'an right for your first China trip?
Xi’an earns its place on a classic 10-day route because the Terracotta Army and the old city make history feel immediate without requiring a long stay.
“The right city is the one that gives your whole route a better rhythm.”China Trip Studio planning principle
What to build around
