Xi'an
China
Xi'an was the capital of thirteen dynasties, and the evidence is dense — the Terracotta Warriors an hour out, a complete Ming-era city wall you can cycle on top of, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the Muslim Quarter's street-food lanes behind the Bell Tower. Huashan's granite peaks make the hardy day trip.
