- Day 1: Shanghai to Xian Tour by Flight
In the very early morning, your Shanghai driver will pick you up from your downtown hotel and transfer you to the airport for a 2.5-hour flight to Xian.
Note: your flight details will be sent to you by email in advance.
Upon landing at Xiāan airport, your private guide will meet you and directly start your exploration followed by a drive to the iconic Terracotta Warriors and Horses.
Known as the Eighth Wonder of the World, it has been visited by over 200 foreign heads of state and government. And now this siteĀ has become a ātourism ambassadorāĀ of glorious Chinese ancient civilization. Today, you visit 3Ā pits inside where there are life sized clay soldiers as well as many grandĀ chariots and horses. From your guide, learn about some facts about this attraction - itĀ was discovered by a local farmer in 1974 and listedĀ in the World Heritage List in 1987.
Enjoy a delicious meal at a local restaurant near the Terracotta Army.
Terracotta Army in Xian If you are interested in making a warrior (optional, for an additional charge), China Xian Tour can lead you to a workshop to have a glimpse of how the 1.8 meter high Terra Cotta Warriors are made and bring home a mini version one crafted by yourself. Don't worry, there is a master who will guide you how to make carefully!
In the afternoon, drive back for downtown exploration at the imposing City Wall. Walking along the well-preserved old wall, touch the 600-year-old bricks and appreciate the panoramic views of Xiāan modern skyline. For more fun, experience an optional bike ride on the wall (at your own expense).
If time permits, 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 hidden in the alleys.
