Chinese Language Immersion in Xian

Xi'an lies about 1200 kilometres south of Beijing in the province Shaanxi. The city was in former times the starting point of the Silk Route, and had the same magnitude as Rome and the residence of 13 dynasties. Most well-known is the Qin-Dynasty thanks to it's young ruler Qin Shi Huang Di. Two thousand years ago, he unified seven states to the Chinese empire and became China's first emperor.

Today the city has a population of eight million but with the historical buildings, the small lanes, city-wall of the 14th Century (which is the most preserved in China) it actually feels like a smaller city.

At the mention of the great number of Xian attractions, the Terracotta soldiers always come as the first. The great archeological excavation of Qin (221BC-206BC) Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses unfolded a strong army of altogether 7,000 life-size pottery soldiers, horses, chariots and weapons arranged in battle formations symbolically, guarding the tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. The grand Mausoleum of the first emperor of Qin and the warriors and horses buried in loess for over 2,000 years amaze every visitor there. However, there are far more spots worthwhile exploring.

City Wall, adorned with a moat and the circular park, the wall surrounds the square inner city of Xian. It is the most complete city wall to survive in China, as well being one of the largest ancient military defensive systems in the world, built first in the early Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and renovated in recent years.

The Bell Tower is the central landmark of the city, from which four large streets stretch towards the east, west, south and north.

Shaanxi History Museum is one of the most distinguished history museums.

Our Chinese language immersion allows you plenty of time to discover the culture & city of Xian, China.
