Xi'an is China's Constantinople — a city that was already ancient when Rome fell. For over a thousand years it was the world's largest city, the eastern anchor of the Silk Road, and the capital of the Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties. Today, the Terracotta Warriors draw the crowds, but the real magic is in the Muslim Quarter's street food, the 14th-century City Wall you can cycle atop, and the Tang Dynasty atmosphere that still lingers in the old streets.
