Beijing Xian Tour

Xian, while being ancient, is a beautiful city to explore. It is home to remarkable tourist attractions. One of those notable tourist destinations is the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda. It is renovated as a Buddhist Pagoda, which is situated in southern Xian. It was built during the reign of Tang dynasty and had five stories initially. 

The structure was reconstructed by Empress Wu Zetian and its external brick facade was renovated during the Ming dynasty. The primary function of the pagoda was to hold sutras and figurines of Lord Buddha that were brought to China from India by the Buddhist translator and traveller, Xuanzang. It is located inside the Dacien Temple complex and is easily accessible from the Da Yan Ta station of line three of the Xian metro. 

The foremost landmark which visitors will encounter while entering Xian is the ancient City Wall. It envelops the old city in a huge square area. The northern side extends parallel to the railway. Till today, the wall is respected as a milepost, which divides the city into an inner and outer part. It is weighty, tall, long and thick. The South Gate and the North Gate forms the two main entry and exit points to the inner city. The city places itself neatly along the City Wall. 

The present City Wall is an enhancement of the old Tang dynasty structure, which took place due to the emperor's wall building initiative. The base of the wall was made up of earth, quick lime and glutinous rice extract, all of them pounded together. 

The Drum Tower is located in the heart of Xian. It stands erected above the city centre and renders a splendid view. It derives its name from the huge drum located within the building. The drum is beat at sunset to signify the end of the day. Several large drums hang on the first floor of the Drum Tower. 

Each of them is decorated with beautiful, elementary Chinese writing, which symbolizes good fortune. The delightful arrays of drum are only for display and visitors are not allowed to touch any of them. The top of the tower renders a panoramic view of the city.

Xian is regarded as the capital city of Shaanxi Province in China. It is a sub-provincial city in the northwestern part of the country and the oldest of the four great ancient capitals, which held the position under various important dynasties in Chinese history, containing the Western Zhou, Qin, Western Han, Sui and Tang.

This city is the initial point of the Silk Road. It has re-emerged as a crucial cultural, industrial and educational centre of the central-northwest region. It provides facilities for research and development, national security and space exploration. It is also considered the most populous city in northwest China.

Xian rests on the Guanzhong Plain, which is created by the surrounding rivers and streams. It experiences a temperate climate. Snowfall occurs in winter but doesn't settle down for long. Thunderstorms often occur in the summer months.

Tourists gather here in large number mainly during summer, whereas the most pleasant time for visiting this city is autumn. Tourism forms an integral component of the local economy, since the city is one of the most popular tourist spot in China.

The Terracotta Army is a collection of terracotta sculptures, signifying the armies of Qin Shi Huang, who was the first emperor of China. It is a type of funerary art buried along with the emperor. Its goal was to protect the emperor in his afterlife.

The sculptures differ in height according to their roles, with the tallest being the generals. The figures consisted of warriors, chariots and horses. Non-military terracotta figures were discovered in other pits, including officials, acrobats, strongmen and musicians. The Terracotta Army is a mere portion of a much larger necropolis.

Banpo is an archaeological site, which is situated in the Yellow River Valley to the east of Xian. It contains the remains of numerous well-organised Neolithic settlements, such as Jiangzhai. It is essentially a type site, closely associated with Yangshao culture.

The settlement was surrounded by a moat, with the graves and pottery kilns lying outside the moat boundaries. The houses were sustained by timber poles and had steeply pitched thatched roofs. It provides little evidence about the religious and political structure.
