What to expect

  1. The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses
    3h · Admission ticket not included
    Your morning starts with a private pickup—your guide will meet you in the hotel lobby at your preferred time (8am is recommended, but it’s your trip, so you decide!). From there, you'll head to the Terracotta Warriors, an awe-inspiring archaeological site featuring over 7,000 life-sized clay soldiers, horses, and chariots buried for over 2,200 years. Discover the three main pits: Pit 1, the largest and most impressive; Pit 2, showcasing cavalry and infantry units; and Pit 3, believed to be the command center. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a fascinating glimpse into the Qin Dynasty and China’s ancient history.
  2. Xi'an City Wall
    2h · Admission ticket not included
    The Xi'an City Wall is one of the oldest and best-preserved ancient city walls in China. Built during the Ming Dynasty, it stretches around 14 kilometers, encircling the heart of Xi'an. Visitors can walk, bike, or even take a golf cart ride along the top of the wall, enjoying panoramic views of the city and its blend of ancient and modern architecture. The wall's massive gates, watchtowers, and fortifications offer a glimpse into Xi'an's historical significance as a key cultural and military hub. It's a must-visit landmark for anyone exploring the city's rich heritage.
  3. Giant Wild Goose Pagoda
    2h · Admission ticket not included
    The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, or Dayan Pagoda, is a iconic landmark in Xi'an, built in the Tang Dynasty. It was originally constructed to store Buddhist scriptures brought from India by the monk Xuanzang. Standing at 64 meters tall, this seven-story pagoda is a masterpiece of ancient Chinese architecture. Located in the scenic Da Ci'en Temple complex, it's surrounded by beautiful gardens, fountains, and cultural sites. The pagoda is a symbol of Xi'an's rich history as a center of Buddhism and Silk Road trade, making it a must-see for visitors.
  4. Muslim Quarter
    1h
    The Muslim Quarter, or Huimin Street, is a vibrant and bustling area in the heart of Xi'an, famous for its rich Islamic culture and delicious street food. This historic neighborhood is home to the city's Muslim community and features narrow lanes lined with food stalls, shops, and restaurants. Visitors can savor local specialties like lamb skewers, roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers), and persimmon cakes, while exploring its unique blend of Chinese and Islamic architecture. A lively and flavorful experience, the Muslim Quarter is a must-visit for food lovers and culture enthusiasts alike.
  5. Xi'an Mosque
    30m · Admission ticket not included
    The Great Mosque of Xi'an, located near the Muslim Quarter, is one of the oldest and most renowned Islamic mosques in China. Built during the Tang Dynasty, it combines traditional Chinese architecture with Islamic elements, featuring courtyards, pavilions, and intricate wooden carvings. Unlike typical mosques, it lacks domes and minarets, blending seamlessly into its surroundings. Still an active place of worship, it offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling Muslim Quarter. A visit here provides a unique glimpse into the harmonious coexistence of Chinese and Islamic cultures.
