What you'll see & do

  • In the morning, your private driver and English speaking guide will pick you up from your Xi’an hotel. Begin the day with a visit to the world famous Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, often called “the Eighth Wonder of the World”. Located about 30 km east of Xi’an, this UNESCO World Heritage site showcases an extraordinary level of ancient sculpture and craftsmanship. Discovered in 1974 by local farmers, the Terracotta Warriors are one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century. Travelers will marvel at the life sized warriors, horses, and chariots, learning about the history of the Qin Dynasty and the secrets behind this ancient army. This private tour experience ensures you can explore the site at your own pace with expert insights from your guide.
  • After lunch, continue your private Xi’an day tour with a visit to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, a historic Tang Dynasty landmark built to house Buddhist sutras and statues that Master Xuanzang brought from ancient India. Explore the temple grounds and stroll around the North Square, which is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped garden. Travelers can also enjoy the famous musical fountain, which performs on a regular schedule, creating a memorable visual and cultural experience.
  • Next, visit the Grand Tang Dynasty Ever Bright City, located near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Step into a world of Tang Dynasty style architecture and vibrant cultural displays, making it feel like a journey back in time. Stroll through the streets, enjoy the atmosphere, and take in the historic ambiance and photo opportunities.
