  • Beat the crowds with early entry and enjoy an immersive, 3-hour journey through the 2,200-year-old Terracotta Army of China’s First Emperor. You’ll fully explore all three burial pits housing over 8,000 life-sized warriors, horses, and chariots, as well as a special exhibition featuring rare artifacts. Pit 1: Stand in awe before the massive army, alongside occasional excavation work. Pit 2: Decode the ranks of individual warriors from their postures and armors. Pit 3: Explore the command center of the entire underground army. Your guide won’t just recite history. They’ll bring the legendary Qin Empire to life with fascinating trivia and hidden secrets, revealing a dynasty that once rivaled the Roman Empire. Ready to step back in time?
  • 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 soft drinks. Skip the overcrowded tourist restaurants and low-quality village lunches.
  • After lunch, relax on an escorted transfer back to downtown Xi'an. Your tour will conclude at the square before the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda. Please return independently; your guide will assist you with transport advice for your journey back to your hotel. For Your Information: The 1,300-year-old Giant Wild Goose Pagoda is a World Heritage site that played a vital role in the spread of Buddhism in China. The adjacent pedestrian street Great Tang All Day Mall featuring brilliant traditional costume performances is also worth exploring. Note: We offer mini-group and private tour options.
