I’d been to Xi’an twice before \u2014 once for 48 hours on a work trip, once for a long weekend \u2014 and both times I left with a list of things I’d promised myself to see next time. The shadow puppetry I’d walked past. The drum music I’d read about and never heard. A proper afternoon in the Beilin. A week was the only honest answer, and it turns out the city fits one surprisingly well.<\/p>\n

This itinerary is that week. The famous sights are here, spread out enough to see with rested legs, and the back half goes places most visitors never reach. I walked it in late April: good weather, reasonable crowds, and one rainy morning that turned out to be the best day of the lot.<\/p>\n
