You step out of the Xi'an airport into a different rhythm — stone walls and pagoda roofs rising against a wide northern sky, a guide waiting with your name card and a private car idling for the day. The hours that follow are deliberately yours: a fast flight from Beijing folds distance into light, and Xi'an unfolds as an active museum where emperors, merchants and modern vendors share the same streets.
