The Terra-Cotta Warriors, located in Lintong County, 35 kilometers east of Xian, capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, is regarded as "the eighth wonder of the world" and has been listed as a world heritage site by the UNESCO since December 1987.
This Shaanxi Provincial Museum, housed in a magnificent Confucian Temple, features more than 370,000 pieces of historical relics, mainly from the Zhou to the Tang periods (1100B.C. to 907 A.D.).
Situated inside Ci'en (Thanks-giving) Temple, four kilometres south of Xi'an city, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a well-preserved ancient building and a holy place for Buddhists.
Situated at the bottom of the City wall, the Forest of Steles is the heaviest collection of books in the world. The earliest texts date back to the Han dynasty. It is a treasure house of Chinese calligraphic art.
Six to seven thousand years ago, late Neolithic people built a stable village. Banpo had about 500 people living in the village.
