Xi'an西安
The Eternal Capital — Terracotta Warriors at sunrise.
Terracotta Army, City Wall, Muslim Quarter, Tang Dynasty cuisine. The capital of thirteen dynasties.
Xi'an opens with a private archaeologist at the Terracotta Warriors before the gates open to the public. Then a Tang dynasty banquet with court music. A morning cycle along the Ming city wall as the city awakens below. Xi'an is China's most cinematic city.
