Before Beijing, Xian used to be the ancient capital of China with a history over 3100 years. There is a famous saying: go to Shanghai to see China of 100 years, go to Beijing, to see China of 1000 years and go to Xian, to see China of 3000 years. Thus, Xian is worth visiting to witness the most significant archeological excavation of the 20th century – Terracotta Warriors and Horses and many more to have the most amazing time in 2 days.
