Renowned for its abundant relics and sites and its cultural and historical significance, Xi’an has earned the title of a 'Natural History Museum'. The Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses is hailed as 'the eighth wonder of the world'. At the same time, the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang is listed on the World Heritage List, and the City Wall of the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644) stands as the largest and best-preserved fortification from the Ming Dynasty.
