Xi'an Author

Lauren · Mitchell

Greetings! I’m Lauren Mitchell, Xi’an specialist at Deep China Travel. After completing a graduate degree in archaeology, I fell under the spell of Xi’an’s ancient history—and stayed to explore it. From the famed Terracotta Army to the ancient city walls, Xi’an speaks to every history lover’s soul. I’ve participated in archaeological digs outside the city and love weaving those firsthand insights into my writing and tours. By night, I lead guests through the Muslim Quarter’s bustling food scene, from hand‑pulled noodles to spicy lamb skewers. I design routes that mix museum visits, early‑morning wall‑cycling sessions, and opportunities to try calligraphy or Tang‑dynasty music performance. I aim to bring Xi’an’s 3,000‑year‑old story to life in immersive, tactile, and unforgettable ways—and can’t wait to help you step back into China’s imperial past.
