Your local guide will meet you at your Xi’an downtown hotel lobby at approx. 8:00 to 8:30 am, then escort you to visit the highlights in Xi’an. Unlike some other tours, we do not stop for shopping to waste your valuable time.
After approx. 1 hour’s driving, you will reach the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum. Follow your guide to discover the history of Qin Dynasty and visit all three pits tagged in the order of their discoveries. See the 2,200-year-old sculptures depicting thousands of unique figures and be shocked by the vivid life-size terracotta figures of warriors and horses.
To meet travelers’ different dietetic requirements and provide travelers the flexibility to taste local food, lunch is left for you to arrange. Your guide will leave you 1 hour to have lunch on your own. You may ask the guide to recommend authentic local food, or prepare some snacks, or grab local snacks on the go, or just have a 1-hour break if you had a big breakfast.
In the afternoon, continue to the ancient City Wall built first in the early Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). There you may walk, take the electric car or ride a bike at your own cost to enjoy the amazing view of the area.
Then follow your guide to stroll around the Bell & Drum Tower Square. Appreciate these outstanding examples of the ancient architecture, and take amazing photos of this city’s central landmark.
The trip concludes at the Bell Tower Area, the city center with convenient public transportation and close to the famous Muslim Street. You may continue sightseeing or return to hotel by yourself. The guide is always glad to give you suggestions.
