9. Introduction to scenic spots in the northwest region
Thousands of years of cultural accumulation have endowed Xi’an with unique above-ground and underground cultural relics, making it like a living history textbook. You can appreciate the majesty of the Qin Empire from the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin; you can experience the richness and splendor of the Tang culture from the Tang Dynasty Daming Palace National Heritage Park, Tang Huaqing Palace ruins, and Qujiang Cultural New District; you can see the majesty of the northwest important town of the Ming Dynasty from the city walls and bell and drum towers. Of course, there are also many well-known scenic spots such as the Shaanxi History Museum, the Forest of Steles Museum, and the Grand Mosque. These countless historical sites and rare cultural relics silently tell the glory and vicissitudes of this Chinese cultural capital. In ancient times, everyone must have wanted to ride their horses and whip their whips and “see all the scenery of Chang’an in one day.”
1. The eighth wonder of the world. In 1974, the discovery of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses pit in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang shocked the world. This underground sculpture group built in the 3rd century BC shows people the splendid splendor of ancient oriental culture with its majestic momentum, mighty military formations and lifelike pottery figurines, regardless of the construction age, architectural scale and artistic effect. It is comparable to the “Seven Wonders of the World”. As a result, the reputation of “the eighth wonder of the world” spread like wildfire and became synonymous with the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.
2. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is located in Ci’en Temple, 4 kilometers outside Hepingmen. According to legend, it was built in the third year of Yonghui in the Tang Dynasty. Master Xuanzang went to India to learn Buddhist scriptures. He requested that a pagoda be built in the temple to store the scriptures he brought back from India. This pagoda was originally named Sutra Pagoda. Later generations called it the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. This towering tower aroused admiration from the world.
This Big Wild Goose Pagoda with a history of more than 1,300 years has become a unique symbol of the ancient city of Xi’an. When the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was first built, it had only five floors and a height of 60 meters. It was modeled after the pagodas in the Western Regions. After many repairs, the tower is now 64 meters high, with a total of 7 floors, and each base is 25 meters long. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is an excellent example of Chinese pavilion-style brick pagodas. The tower body is made of blue bricks, with arches on all sides of each floor. This pavilion-style brick tower is simple in shape, majestic, and has significant national characteristics and contemporary style. As for the word “big” before the wild goose pagoda, it was because later generations wanted to distinguish it from the small wild goose pagoda of Jianfu Temple.
There is a wooden ladder inside the tower. You can climb up the tower in a spiral way. You can lean on the railing and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Guanzhong. On both sides of the south gate on the ground floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there are two stone tablets inlaid, one is “The Holy Preface to the Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty”, which is the general preface to the scriptures translated by Xuanzang in the 22nd year of Zhenguan (648) by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. The other “Preface to the Holy Teachings of the Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty” is an inscription written by Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty for the “Preface to the Holy Teachings”. These two tablets are important cultural relics for the study of calligraphy, painting, and sculpture art in the Tang Dynasty. In particular, the line-carved hall diagram on the lintel of the west stone gate of the pagoda is precious information for studying the architecture of the Tang Dynasty.
3. An City Wall is located in the central area of Xi’an. It is rectangular in shape and includes a series of military facilities such as moats, suspension bridges, gate towers, watchtowers, main towers, turrets, watchtowers, parapets, and crenels.

The Ming city wall is rectangular, with a circumference of about 13.79 kilometers, a height of 12 meters, a top width of 12 to 14 meters, and a bottom width of 15 to 18 meters. The wall is mainly made of loess, with a little lime, fine sand, and wheat straw knots added, mixed with water, and tamped in layers. The city wall is flat and wide, with enemy towers protruding out of the wall built every 120 meters, and enemy towers built on the platforms, a total of 98 in the city. The distance between the piers and piers is equal, and every two enemy piers can form a favorable fire attack point, thereby effectively shooting enemies climbing the city wall in wartime. There are 2-meter-high crenellated walls built on the outer edge of the top of the city wall. There are 5,984 crenellations on them, which can be used for archery and observation, and can effectively avoid enemy arrows. There is a half-person-high parapet built along the inner edge of the top of the wall without crenellations. Its function is to prevent soldiers and baggage from falling when going to and from the city wall. The four corners of the city wall have turrets that protrude outside the city. Except that the southwest corner is round, which may be to maintain the original shape of the Tang Imperial City corner, the rest are square. Build a turret at each corner.
Outside the city wall there is a “moat” (moat) surrounding the city wall. The moat is more than 30 meters wide and 12-15 meters deep. There are 6-meter-wide horse paths and 6 slopes within the city wall to facilitate the defenders’ movement up to the city.
