This private tour takes you to Xi'an Round Altar. Built by Emperor Wen of Sui dynasty, the Round Altar was announced by the State Council as key cultural relics protection units in 2013.
It was unearthed in Xi'an in the year of 1999, then reburied. Actually for protecting this precious cultural heritage, the altar hasn't been displayed to the world until the year of 2018.
Been made purely by rammed earth is the most obvious peculiarity of Xi'an Round Altar. The height of the round altar is about 8 meter. It has four layers of platforms and 12 sets of stairways. There is only one stairway which is wider than others because it is for the Emperor to ascend the altar.
