Xian, the capital of Shanxi province, is the cradle of the oldest Chinas's dynasties. Was the fabled beginning and end of the Silk Road,
where camel caravans unloaded good from across the Eurasian continent and packed up others of China that went on to influence the world.
Xian today is one of China's major attractions and tourists come in search of the Terracota Warriors, the Muslim Quarter and the City Walls.
