Apart from those attractions which are remarkable in Xian, for personally I think there are lots of other interesting attractions, such as, Huaqing Hot Spring, Banpo Museum, Hanyangling Museum, and Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Nightly water and light show in front of the Big Goose Pagoda also a beautiful performance that you might enjoy.
