You step out of your hotel into the early Xi'an air as the city wall looms to the west and the low hum of morning markets rises nearby. Your private English-speaking guide folds a paper map into their pocket and a Didi car waits—today is yours to shape, whether that means wandering the ramparts of the Ming-era City Wall, threading through the smells of Huimin Street’s breakfast stalls, or tracing pottery shards at the Banpo Neolithic site.
