I recommend visiting - Xian, China
Xian has been at the heart of Chinese history for millennia and was a key stop on the ancient Silk Road. Visitors can cycle the length of the ancient city walls, get lost in the Muslim Quarter's maze of alleys and try some of the city's delicacies such as roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and biang biang noodles (thick noodles in a spicy sauce). The city is best known as the home of the Terracotta Warriors however. Built over 2,000 years ago, each visit has left me in awe of the ancient emperor's faith and the huge human effort that went into constructing his underground army.
