    Explore the excavation pits and observe rows of life-sized clay soldiers, horses and archaeological discoveries. Take your time to appreciate the remarkable details of the sculptures and the scale of the ancient burial complex.

    This visit focuses on the Terracotta Warriors Museum. It does not guarantee a separate visit to the Emperor's Mausoleum archaeological park at Lishan.

    Admission tickets are not included. Guests must make a dated, real-name reservation in advance and bring the matching valid passport or identity document.

    Guests selecting driver-only transportation visit independently. A professional guide is not included unless specifically purchased.

    Museum opening hours, ticket availability, security procedures and traffic may affect the visit.
  2. 1h · Admission ticket not included
    Visit the public North Square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, one of Xi'an's most recognizable historic landmarks.

    Admire the pagoda's exterior and the surrounding open plaza, where traditional architecture meets the atmosphere of modern Xi'an.

    Enjoy time for photographs and a relaxed walk through the area. Depending on the date and schedule, there may be a public musical fountain performance, but no particular show or viewing time is guaranteed.

    This stop is for the exterior square only. Entrance to Daci'en Temple or the pagoda itself is not included.
  3. Grand Tang Dynasty Ever Bright City
    1h 30m
    Experience Xi'an's lively evening atmosphere at Grand Tang Dynasty Ever Bright City, a pedestrian district inspired by the culture and architecture of the Tang Dynasty.

    Explore independently at your own pace. Street performances and cultural activities may take place on certain dates, but their schedules, availability and viewing conditions cannot be guaranteed.

    The public pedestrian streets are free to enter. Optional paid attractions, purchases and performances are not included.

    The district can become crowded, particularly on weekends and holidays. Vehicle access is restricted, so guests may need to walk to a designated meeting point after visiting.
