Overview
We will take you step into the ancient soul of Xi’an and experience a city where history still feels alive.
In just one day, journey across more than 2,000 years — from the awe-inspiring Terracotta Army, where thousands of life-sized warriors stand frozen in time, to the serene hot springs once enjoyed by emperors of the Tang Dynasty. Walk or cycle along one of China’s best-preserved ancient city walls and take in the striking contrast between old traditions and modern life.
As night falls, explore the vibrant Muslim Quarter, a living reminder of the Silk Road, filled with the aromas of street food and the energy of local life.
Designed for international travellers, this itinerary offers more than sightseeing — with a local expert guide, you’ll discover the stories, culture, and spirit of China’s past, all in a single unforgettable day.

What to expect
The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses
3h · Admission ticket included
Stand face-to-face with one of history's greatest secrets. Buried for over 2,200 years and discovered by chance in 1974 by farmers digging a well, the Terracotta Army is a sight that consistently leaves visitors speechless. Your expert guide will lead you through Pit One — the largest and most dramatic — followed by Pit Three, the mysterious command headquarters, and the Bronze Chariots Hall, home to some of the most intricate metalwork in the ancient world. Beyond the spectacle, your guide will bring the story to life: why no two warriors share the same face, how the discovery transformed our understanding of Qin Dynasty China, and what remains buried and unexcavated beneath your feet to this day.
Huaqing Palace
2h · Admission ticket included
Just a short drive from the Terracotta Warriors lies Huaqing Palace, a site layered with more than 3,000 years of imperial history. Most visitors know it for its famous hot spring pools — the same geothermal baths where Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty spent his winters with his beloved concubine Yang Guifei, one of the most celebrated love stories in Chinese literature. The palace is also the site of the 1936 Xi'an Incident, where Chiang Kai-shek was kidnapped by his own generals and forced to forge a united front against Japan — you can still see the bullet holes in the walls of the Five-Room Hall where he sheltered. Two dynasties, one garden: Tang romance and 20th-century political drama in the same afternoon stroll.
1h · Admission ticket included
Tucked down a quiet alley just steps from the bustle of the Muslim Quarter, the Great Mosque of Xi'an is one of China's oldest and best-preserved Islamic places of worship, first established in 742 AD during the Tang Dynasty. What makes it unlike any mosque you've seen before is its architecture: five serene courtyards, pavilions, and prayer halls built entirely in the classical Chinese style, yet oriented towards Mecca and decorated throughout with Arabic calligraphy. It is a physical record of what happens when two great civilisations meet at a crossroads — and Xi'an was exactly that crossroads for over a thousand years.
Muslim Quarter
1h
Step out of the mosque and directly into one of China's most atmospheric streets. The Muslim Quarter — known locally as Huifang — has been home to Xi'an's Hui Muslim community for over a thousand years, a living legacy of the merchants and travellers who made the journey from Central Asia and the Middle East along the ancient trade routes. With your guide, step off the main drag and into the quieter lanes behind, where the real food is: hand-pulled noodles, skewers of cumin lamb, roujiamo stuffed with slow-braised beef, and fried persimmon cakes dusted with sesame. A fitting final chapter to a city that has spent 3,000 years at the crossroads of civilisations.
