You step off a short domestic flight into northern China’s low, loamy air and feel the city’s scale change — Xi’an’s flat plain opens out beneath a low, broad sky. A private driver slides you past modern arrivals toward an earthen site where rows of life-size figures stand in ordered silence. The Terracotta Warriors greet visitors with the weight of centuries, faces frozen in the moment of imperial command.
