You step out of a Guangzhou hotel lobby at 7 a.m., the city still rubbing sleep from its eyes, and the day compresses into a single, high-contrast loop: airport, flight, Xi'an, and back. By midmorning the air smells different — drier, dusted with history — as your guide leads you across the Terracotta Warriors plaza toward ranks of life-size figures carved and fired millennia ago.
