I'd spend more time in Xi'an. There's a lot more there than just the terra cotta warriors. There's the oldest functioning mosque in China, the only completely intact city wall, a couple of interesting pagodas and a great museum. Just walking around the Muslim section is very interesting. Also, the cuisine in Xi'an is interesting and there are many good local restaurants to sample. We spent 10 days there and didn't exhaust everything.
