Terracotta Warriors

Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses is a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor of China. These figures, dating from 210 BC, were first discovered in 1974 including warriors, chariots, horses, officials, acrobats, strongmen, and musicians. Estimates are that there were over 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of which are still buried in the pits.

Xian City Wall

After the establishment of the Ming dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the first Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, started to enlarge the city wall built initially during the old Tang dynasty, creating the modern Xian City Wall. It's the most complete city wall that has survived in China, as well being one of the largest ancient military defensive systems in the world.

Big Wild Goose Pagoda

Standing in the Da Ci'en Temple complex, it attracts numerous visitors for its fame in the Buddhist religion, its simple but appealing style of construction, and its new square in front of the temple. It is rated as a National Key Cultural Relic Preserve as well as an AAAA Tourist Attraction.
