Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, Xian

Day 01Arrival in Xian

Welcome to Xian! Our guide will meet you outside the arrival hall of the airport after you take back your luggage and then transfer you to downtown Xian. After checking in the hotel, you will start to explore this ancient city which has been the capital of 13 dynasties in Chinese history. 

Your first destination is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, a seven-storey square cone-shaped tower which was built in the Tang Dynasty, about the 7th Century. It was used to house the Buddhism scriptures and statues brought back from India by Master Xuanzang. Now the pagoda is one of the landmarks of Xian City. Then to avoid the mass-produced food at the tourist eateries, we will serve you an a la carte lunch at the well-known local restaurant, where you can taste the authentic Chinese food. In the afternoon, visit the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, which is regarded as the world's eighth wonder. The lifelike figures and horses were orderly arranged in battle formations, which were believed to be the guards of the Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum. The affiliated exhibitions will help you learn more about the history, culture and social life of that period.

Meals: A la carte lunch

Day 02Departure from Xian

This morning you will visit Shaanxi History Museum. Covered in verdant trees, this museum has adopted the classical palace architectural style of the Tang Dynasty over 1,300 years ago. There are more than 370,000 historical relics exhibited in the museum according to the time and themes, spanning from the prehistory to modern China. It is not exaggeration that you could trace the thousands of years' Chinese history here in hours. Then enjoy an a la carte lunch at a popular local restaurant with delicious dishes. After lunch, ascend the City Wall of Xian, another landmark of the city. Built in the Ming Dynasty (around 14th century), Xian City Wall is the best-preserved city wall in China. Standing on it, you can have a bird's eye view of this ancient city. If time permits, you can either walk or have a short cycling on the wall to explore the history of the city from every bricks and tiles. Then you will go to the Great Mosque, which is a perfect combination of Islamic culture and traditional Chinese architecture. On the way to the mosque, you will walk through the famous Moslem Street, where many delicious local snacks and interesting souvenirs are selling. As the tour comes to the end, our guide will see you off at Xian Airport. Hope our tour service gives you a pleasant memory and wish you have a nice trip home!
