Xi'an Day Tour: Terracotta Army + Visit a Local Family + Ancient City Wall
After breakfast, you will drive about 40 kilometers (1 hour) to visit the Terracotta Army, one of the "Eighth Wonders of the World." The 【Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum】 is a heritage museum built on the original site of the terracotta pits and is also China's largest ancient military museum. Accompanied by your professional guide's vivid commentary, you will visit Pits No. 1, 2, and 3 in sequence, learning about the historical background and craftsmanship of the Terracotta Army, as well as the little-known stories behind these thousand-year-old clay figures buried in the long river of history.
After the visit, you can also take part in a local specialty experience activity - 【DIY a Miniature Terracotta Warrior】. Under the guidance of a local potter, you will make a miniature terracotta warrior with your own hands, experience the terracotta craft, and take home a one-of-a-kind travel souvenir.
Then head to 【Visit a Local Family in Xi'an】 to learn about Xi'an's food culture and learn to make some local Xi'an specialties, such as dumplings, roujiamo, biangbiang noodles, and more.
After lunch, go to 【Gao Family Courtyard】 to take a Chinese calligraphy and painting culture class. Under the guidance of professionals, learn and practice Chinese calligraphy and painting, or create your own paper-cutting works, and deeply experience the charm of traditional Chinese culture.
In the afternoon, visit the time-honored Xi'an Ancient City Wall. 【Xi'an Ancient City Wall】 was first built in the Ming Dynasty, also known as the Xi'an Ming City Wall, and is one of the largest and best-preserved ancient city walls in China. You can climb onto the wall, walk on the historic gray bricks, and feel the charm of the ancient city wall, or take a bicycle ride to enjoy the superb scenery formed by the ancient city wall and the modern cityscape together.
Afterward, return to the hotel to check in and rest. If you still have energy, you can also ask your guide for suggestions on evening activities. If you would like to extend this trip and explore more destinations in China, such as Beijing, Yunnan, Shanghai, Chengdu, Tibet, and more, you can also contact our customer service to arrange it for you.
