Take a trip to Xi an on your China Vacation
Surrounded by karst peaks and bordered on one side by the Li River, Yangshuo is a county near Guilin. Popular on China tours for its mountains, rivers, caves, and temples, Yangshuo has a laid-back feel and is visited by tourists who enjoy the relaxed, air and noise-pollution-free atmosphere.
One of the oldest cities, Xian was the first of China’s four ancient capitals, having held that position for 13 dynasties. As the easternmost stop for the Silk Road on a China vacation, Xian is rich with history and features ancient ruins, museums, and cultural relics.
Maintaining its heritage, the restored Ancient City Wall encircles Xian, dividing it into inner and outer portions. The wall is 12 metres high and stretches 13.7kms long. With a width of 12-14 metres on the top, a bike tour of the wall would ideally permit a full exploration of the inner and outer city’s parameters.
With its culture derived mostly from ancient dynasty eras, Xian, though somewhat cosmopolitan today, has become a popular tourist destination for history lovers on China travel.
