In the early morning, our local driver will pick you up from your Shanghai downtown hotel by holding a board with your name and transfer you to Shanghai airport for your flight to Xian. Rest assured, your flight details will be sent to you by email in advance. Upon landing at Xiāan Xianyang International Airport, be warmly welcomed by your local tour guide and driver. Then, start your 1-day Xian tour, by transferring to the iconic Terracotta Warriors and Horses, a testament to the ingenuity of Emperor Qin Shi Huang.
Known as the Eighth Wonder of the World, it has been visited by over 200 foreign heads of state and government. It has become a traveling card of China’s ancient glorious civilization. Today, your Xi’an tour guide will take you to visit three pits inside, where there are life sized soldiers, as well as numerous chariots and horses. It was discovered by a local farmer in 1974 and included in the World Heritage List in 1987.
Lunch: Enjoy a delicious meal at a local restaurant.

In the afternoon, depart for downtown Xiāan to explore the imposing City Wall. As you walk along this well-preserved structure, appreciate the architectural prowess of the Ming Dynasty and the panoramic views of Xiāanās modern skyline (Optional: you can ride a bike on the wall). If time permits, you will be taken to stroll around the Muslim Quarter, a food street where you can not find almost all the snacks in Xian, including kebabs, steamed buns, Mutton and Bread Pieces in Soup, but also admire many exotic buildings in Islamic style.
Your Xian day tour ends after your guide transfers you to Xiāan Xianyang International Airport. Board your flight back to Shanghai, where a local driver will be waiting at the arrival hall. He / she will then escort you back to your hotel.
