What you'll see & do

  • Your tour guide and driver will greet you in your hotel lobby and then escort you directly to the Terracotta Army Museum in a premium vehicle. The drive takes approximately one hour, during which your guide will share some brief historical background on the remarkable wonder you're about to explore.
  • Upon arrival, your guide will walk you through the three main pits to see the terracotta warriors and horses up close. You'll also visit the exhibition hall to view selected artifacts, including bronze items and weapons. The visit takes about 2.5 to 3 hours, giving you plenty of time to admire at a relaxed pace.
  • Drive back to downtown to visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, a Tang Dynasty landmark built in 652 AD to house Buddhist scriptures brought from India by the monk Xuanzang. As a key site along the ancient Silk Road, it served as an important center for translating and introducing Indian Buddhism to China.
  • Next, you'll visit the ancient City Wall—the largest and best-preserved city wall in China. Your guide will share fascinating stories and historical insights about this encircled structure. For a more active experience, you may rent a bicycle to ride along the top of the wall at your own expense.
  • After that, you'll explore the Muslim Quarter, famous for its diverse halal snacks and street food. From sizzling lamb skewers and savory pastries to sweet desserts and fresh fruit drinks, the vibrant stalls offer a feast for both the eyes and the palate. It's a great place to experience the local food culture.
