1. Xi'an

3. 1h
   For lunch, refuel with an upscale buffet featuring over 25 gourmet dishes. Watch chefs prepare authentic local specialties like Chinese hamburgers and hand-pulled noodles right before your eyes in the open kitchen, while enjoying Western favorites like macaroni, fried chicken, and croissants. Finish with a selection of pastries, fruits, and a soft drink. Skip the overcrowded tourist restaurants and low-quality village lunches.
4. Giant Wild Goose Pagoda
   2h · Admission ticket included
   Drive back downtown to visit the pagoda, another World Heritage site and a Silk Road landmark, where Buddhist scriptures brought from India by Monk Xuanzang were translated and spread across China. Built over 1,300 years ago, centuries before Columbus set sail, this architectural marvel famously survived more than ten major earthquakes.
5. Xi'an City Wall

   Next, take a walk on the 600-year-old City Wall, the most complete ancient fortification in China. Stretching nearly 14 kilometers (8.7 miles), it offers a vantage point to see how history meets modernity. Bicycles rentals are available on the wall at your own expense.
6. Muslim Quarter
   Pass by
   Drive past the Muslim Quarter, the city’s most vibrant street food paradise. Guests wishing to explore further on their own may disembark here to enjoy the evening independently. Soak in the bustling local life and try delicious cold noodles, pot stickers, or jujube rice cakes.
