08:00 Hotel Pick-Up
Our guide will pick you up from your hotel in Xian. We will call you the night before to reconfirm your pick-up time.
09:00 Drive to Terracotta Warriors
We will take the highway directly to the Terracotta Warriors Museum. It takes about one hour to get there. Unlike some other tours, we do not stop for shopping to waste your valuable time.
10:00 Terracotta Warriors Museum
Our experienced guide will show you the three excavated pits, the Bronze Chariots, and Horses Exhibition Hall. You will have at least two and a half hours to explore this significant site.
13:00 Free Time for Lunch
Lunch is not included since there are no decent restaurants around the museum. While some fast-food chains offer adequate and hygienic lunch at USD3-5 per person, which is even much better than the tourist food arranged by some other coach tours. Our guide will assist you in selecting a place for lunch.
13:40 Drive back to downtown Xian
14:40 Small Wild Goose Pagoda
The tour continues with a visit to the Small Wild Goose Pagoda built during the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Here you can learn more about the history and culture of Xian.
16:00 City Wall
Our guide will show you the ancient City Wall built over 600 years ago. You can walk on the City Wall or rent a bike to ride on it. The bike rental fee is at your expense.
17:30 Muslim Bazaar and Hotel Drop-off
Our last stop will be the Muslim Bazaar, the most thriving area of the city. If you are interested, you can explore the bazaar at your own pace and then return to the hotel on your own. Our guide will show you directions for returning to your hotel.
The Great Mosque and the Bell and Drum Tower Square are within walking distance of the Bazaar. The Bazaar offers a number of excellent choices for dinner.
If you prefer not to go to the Muslim Bazaar, we will take you back to the hotel after we drop the others off at the Bazaar.
