Xi'an, the home of the Terracotta Warriors and 13 times Capital of China in different dynasties, is a city of around 7 million in the center of China. One of the few walled cities left in China (the other big one is Tianjin) it is home to alot of different styles and is a point where the more Muslim West of China meets the Han East in a nice blend. It also has a thriving foreign community, and is ever growing due to the EFL teaching buzz in China.
