A closer look reveals that each figure has unique facial expressions, which is remarkable given the number of figures present. This highlights the magnificence of the work and explains why the Terracotta Warriors Museum is considered the eighth wonder of the world.

Xi’an City Wall (Chengqiang) - Visit a local family residing in a Traditional Cave Dwelling. The tour guide will explain why this type of dwelling is favored by locals.

3:00 p.m.: Visit the Ancient City Wall, with options to walk, ride a bike, or take a golf cart. This City Wall is the best-preserved and most complete wall surviving from China’s extensive history. It stands approximately 12 meters high, 12 to 14 meters wide at the top, and 15 to 18 meters thick at the base. The entire circumference is about 13.7 kilometers, so walking the entire length can take some time.

Farmers’ Caves - Visit a local family living in a Traditional Cave and learn about the life of local farmers. Although it may be hard to imagine living in a cave, it was quite common a few decades ago in Shaanxi Province.
