Day 6 Departure from Xi'an
The whole morning will be devoted to the City Wall area. The encircled City Wall Park will be your first stop. It is the best place to know more about the local people's daily life and their entertainments. You will also have a chance to learn to practice Tai Chi in the park. Then you come to the second stop, the City Wall of Xi'an. It was built in the early Ming Dynasty on the basis of Tang imperial city. Through five times of large scale restoration in history, it finally became a great fortification, which is nowadays the most intact and largest ancient city wall of China in existence. What's more, cycling on the City Wall is an interesting activity. You can try at your own expense if you like.

- 4.86 ReviewsSouth bAfricaPosted on September 21, 2019On the whole we were satisfied with all aspects of the tour from enquiry to final departure. The guides were excellent and friendly and patient!
We appreciated the surprises - For example the Kung Fu show was much more than we expected from the description. The Hotels were the best and the time for relaxation well arranged.
Maybe the drivers could be more aware whether everyone is seated before moving off but sometimes a "late arrival" of the group was annoying.
There should have been a warning that we would be very quickly taken from the stair lift at the Great Wall. It was a bit of a shock to be grabbed and pulled off.
We returned from Xian to Beijing in the bullet train. This was much more preferable to the flight to Xian. Going through the procedures at the airport and all the waiting was not enjoyable. The train timing is more reliable even if the actual journey time is a bit longer.
I had enquired about electric plug connections in the hotels but this was not a problem at all. The hotel sockets fitted most plugs anyway and I did not need any adapters. ... MoreAustraliaPosted on January 18, 2019This tour has been exceptional to date and excellent value for money. The guides and drivers have been excellent in both Beijing and Xian. They are very professional, their knowledge amazes us. The tour we took was a small group tour, it was much cheaper than with other tour groups but the quality of the service has been exceptional value for money.AustraliaPosted on December 01, 2018I would like to say thanks to all the staff who made our holiday in China a great success. The arrangements they made for us were exceptional and very professionally arranged. The group was very impressed with the way our trip to Xian was organized. It was a highlight of our trip to China.
On our arrival, our guide, Lily waiting for us at the airport, the tours organized to ensure we saw as much as possible in a day. The lunch was an unexpected highlight of the tour, the food was fantastic. The high speed train back to Beijing was a wonderful experience and very comfortable.
Our guide, Lily was wonderfully informative about the sights we visited and everyone was very impressed with her communication skills and her high standard of English conversation. Lily certainly made our trip to Xian a very memorable experience. I had visited China 30 years ago and I had been to Xian before the terra cotta warriors were revealed to the world. The changes in China since then are unbelievable. I would have no hesitation in recommending China as a holiday destination and the services of travelchinaguide to people.
Once again, thank you for all of the wonderful efforts to ensure our group had the opportunity to visit China in such a short time. I hope to return to China with my family to visit some of the other places including Shanghai and Guilin. ... More- 12
