Your tour guide will meet you at your hotel lobby at 9:00 am in the morning. Getting on a comfortable vehicle, you will be accompanied to visit the eighth world wonder directly.
The Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum was listed by UNESCO in 1987 as one of the world’s cultural heritages. It is actually the mausoleum of the first Chinese emperor in the ancient time. The tremendous underground army was made to guard the emperor after his death. Now the warriors still stand solemnly waiting for an order. Their facial expressions could be seen clearly although they have been buried for more than 2,000 years. The site mainly consists of three warrior pits. Each pit is like an enduring mystery that remains hidden within its depth. No one knows the exact story behind those vivid figures but everyone has a story for them deep in mind by imagination. Upon arrival, you will first check out those life-size warriors and horses.
Later you will enjoy a typical Chinese lunch at a local nice restaurant and then have a short break.
For the afternoon arrangement, it is flexible for you to decide. You may choose to visit the Hanyanglin Museum only (The museum is a bit far from the city) or two sites from the following: 1. City Wall 2. Big Wild Goose Pagoda 3. Shaanxi History Museum 4. Bell & Drum Tower 5. Muslim Quarter 6. Great Mosque 7. Gao's Grand Courtyard 8. Small Wild Goose Pagoda 9.
