Discover Lintong

 
Lintong is a county-level city in Shaanxi province, China. It is located to the east of Xi'an, the provincial capital. Known for its rich cultural heritage and archaeological sites, Lintong has been an important center of Chinese civilization since ancient times.

The most famous attraction in Lintong is the Terra-Cotta Warriors and Horses Museum. This museum houses one of the largest collections of terracotta figures ever discovered, which were buried with Emperor Qinshihuang to protect him in his afterlife. Other attractions include Huangling Temple, which dates back to the Tang dynasty (618-907); and Dayan Pagoda, a large nine-story wooden pavilion constructed during the Tang Dynasty as well.

Visitors can also experience traditional culture in a visit to Hongren Creative Village or Zhouzhi County's Longmen Grottoes; hike along Yishui River Valley; or explore some of China's oldest UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Famen Temple and Mount Li National Geopark. With so many interesting things to do and see, there's no doubt that Lintong should be included on every traveler's itinerary when visiting China!
