Better known as the “Red Church”, the Church of St. Simon and Helena was built in 1910 by a Polish noble to commemorate the death of his two children – the tower’s three bells are named after him and the dead children.

The Drum Tower, originally built in the 14th century without a single iron nail, is a testament to ancient Chinese craftsmanship. This remarkable structure holds 24 drums, representing the traditional Chinese solar terms that marked the seasons. Reconstructed in the 17th century, the tower remains a focal point of Xi’an’s history. Visitors can climb to the top for sweeping views of the old city and enjoy live drum performances held every other hour.

Situated beside the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor and Lishan National Forest Park, the Huaqing Hot Springs are renowned for their mineral-rich waters, long believed to have skin-rejuvenating qualities. This historic site was favoured by one of China’s most famous beauties, Consort Yang Yuhuan, during the Tang Dynasty. Known as one of the 'Four Great Beauties' of ancient China, Yang would bathe in these very springs. Today, visitors can soak in the same restorative waters and explore the serene gardens and palatial remnants that once hosted emperors and their consorts.
