Today the walls of the Ming dynasty and the Tang palace walls hint at the Xi’an’s glorious past. Stare in awe at the Terracotta Army, 7,000 terracotta statues of Qin Bingmayong Bowuguan warriors and soldiers. Dating from 210 BCE, they were discovered in 1974 and are still being excavated. Don't miss the Shaanxi History Museum or a chance to heat up at former imperial bathing spot, Huaqing Hot Springs.

This museum is well worth a visit as it has very good displays of historical items that help you learn about and understand China's past. It is not easy to spend more than two hours in one go in a museum and a second visit would be rewarding. It would be worth your while to hire a guide to take you through the museum.

We actually went inside this museum and a teacher taught us how to write our name using Calligraphy - it was quite amusing, on finishing she announced that we can all have our name done by a master and it was for free. So we all lined up - as ours was not the best writing you would frame - but his was.

This museum boasts the largest collection of steles cut in 837 A.D., the oldest existing texts of the Confucian classics, and more than 2,000 engraved stone tablets from the Han dynasty.
Note the picture above. The carvings are all different. Many photographers were taking Macro shots of the art work. I found this part of the tour interesting, but then that's me I travel with a camera attached to my right arm.
