Xi'an gives a first China trip ancient capital depth in a compact stop: Terracotta Warriors, the city wall, Tang history, local noodles, and the Muslim Quarter can fit cleanly between Beijing and Shanghai.

Beijing is the strongest first stop for China history: Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, hutongs, museums, and a Great Wall day trip work best when the route is planned by district instead of by a long checklist.
