Being the starting point of the historic Silk Road extending from Asia to Europe, the Shaanxi Province played a vital part of the cultural mixing of the East and West in ancient times.
For those who really want to discover China’s past, the Sofitel Hotel is ideally situated near to many of the city’s historical sites including the Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Great Mosque, Shaanxi History Museum & the Forest of Steles stone library, as well as the famous City Walls of Xian.
Erected during the Ming Dynasty (1638-1644), the walls make up the world’s largest and best-preserved ancient fortress. As you tour the City Walls, you’ll see residences for the troops that used to protect the ancient city dotted along the 13.7 kilometers of architectural history - impeccably maintained and each featuring a main tower, an embrasured watchtower, a lock tower, and a compound.
A beautiful scene encircles the City Walls - the a moat and a ring road are lined with ancient and rare trees and peppered with pavilions to form the huge surrounding city Park. To explore China’s history even further, take a trip to the Qin Mausoleum, home to one of the world’s most wondrous ancient relics - the Terracotta Warriors.
No doubt thousands of statues still remain to be unearthed at this archaeological site, which was not discovered until 1974. The warriors were made to protect the Emperor Qinhe, the first unifier of China, who is buried at the temple. Each of the figures is slightly different, and - horses, chariots and weapons at their sides - they are masterpieces of realism as well as of great historical interest.
Fusing the luxuries of high class modern life, with the wonders of Chinese history, the Sofitel Hotel is the perfect retreat for those who want to explore the ancient culture still alive across the Shanxii province.
