Xi'an is the capital of Shaanxi Province, China. It is also the oldest of the four great ancient capitals, the other three being Beijing, Nanjing, and Luoyang. Xi'an is the starting point of the Silk Road and home to the Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. A lot of muslims live here due to the influence of the silk age, and Muslim Quarter is a must visit! Other attractions include the Big Goose Pagoda, City Wall, and drum/bell towers.
