Xi'an Travel Guide

China

Xi'an is a large inland city in China, with a population of 8,785,174. It is one of the country's major urban centres in the northwest and is a practical base for exploring the surrounding region.

Most international and domestic visitors arrive through Xianyang International Airport (XIY), the airport serving the city. Xi'an is inland, and there are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so it is better suited to city sightseeing and inland travel than to a beach break.
