Itinerary

1. Day 1: Xi'an Terracotta Warriors

   • Your driver and English-speaking Xi'an (Chinese) tour guide will pick you up from the hotel lobby from 8:00-9:00 am.
   • On the way to Terracotta Warriors Museum, stop at a terracotta figurine factory to specialise in the reproduction of the clay warriors. Watch the artisans craft the miniature statues and take the opportunity to try carving a figurine by yourself.
   • Then arrive at Terracotta Warriors & Horses, famous for its surprisingly high level of sculpture. The original site of the Terracotta Museum was found by four local farmers while drilling a well in 1974. Now, it has turned into one of the most influential attractions in Xian. The museum includes Pit 1( the largest), Pit 2 and Pit 3, and the exhibition hall of the bronze chariots and horses.
   • After a typical Chinese-style lunch, continue to visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The pagoda here was built in the Tang Dynasty to keep the Buddhist Sutra and figurines of the Buddha that Master Xuanzang brought back from ancient India. Now surrounding the Pagoda is the large public square for leisure. 
   • After all the activities, let the guide take you back to your hotel. According to your travel pace and traffic condition, the tour will end around 5 pm or 6 pm.
